Tecnis Symfony Lens - Tanner Eyes

Patient Information
Tecnis Symfony Lens implant in Cataract Surgery (extended range of focus lens) - - Mr Tanner is no longer routinely offering this lens.

Most patients undergoing cataract surgery would like to see well in the distance and for near without glasses. Lens implants that try and achieve this have been available for over 20 years. However, early models were associated with a significant risk of visual problems such as halo and glare. Over the last few years there have been significant advances in lens technology providing much better results. There has also been increased recognition that better visual quality is achieved by using a lens which focuses for distance and intermediate work rather than distance and near work. With these extended range focus lenses inserted in both eyes the majority of patients do not need glasses for the vast majority of tasks other than reading small print.

The more recently introduced Vivity lens https://www.tanner-eyes.co.uk/cataract-surgery-and-lens-implants/alcon-vivity-lens-implant/ has now replaced the Symfony lens in most cases for patients seeking increased spectacle independence. The Tecnis Symfony is summarised in the diagrams below :

Testimonials

Thanks to you and your wonderful team at King Edward VII Hospital, I woke up this morning with perfect eyesight – for the first time in years.
No more squinting when driving at night or reading small print and, hopefully, no more being dazzled or lost golf balls as I’ll be able to see them in flight.
You must take immense pride in the difference you make to the quality of life for so many people. You have my total admiration. Thank you so much.

Mr Tanner took time to explain what was a routine operation for him but a little scary for me. I was very reassured and delighted with the outcome, thank you so much Mr Tanner and team

I have been very impressed with the quality of Mr Tanner’s care

Mr Tanner was friendly and courteous throughout. It transpired he was at medical school with one of my sons, which was a bonus. He is in my opinion at the peak of his surgical career. Very experienced and therefore very competent

The treatment from Mr Tanner was excellent.

He is a courteous and highly skilled professional.

Mr Tanner gave clear advice …..The operation went smoothly and was much less trouble than I imagined. The vision the eye that was operated on is very good

I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Tanner. The results of research and discussions with Bupa and my GP were amply rewarded with the treatment….. I have now seen Mr Tanner pre-op, op, and post-op and can confirm that his care and treatment has been excellent throughout

Talking to Mr Tanner was like discussing my treatment with a friend

Just a short note to express my delight at the substantial improvement following the treatment on the 28th, much better than I envisaged.
