About ADVANCE VISION CARE - Eye Surgery Hospital |
About Us
Advance Vision Care has been operating since 2002. Mr C.T.
Pillai, Medical Director and Consultant Refractive Surgeon
opened up the clinic in the prestigious location of Harley Street.
Advance Vision Care is very different from other commercial clinics
in that it is a single-surgeon oriented clinic, where Mr Pillai
offers the best possible treatment available today using the
very latest 'wavefront' technology combined with an exceptional
level of personalised patient care.
Centre of Excellence
At Advance Vision Care we pride ourselves on high levels of
patient care, our use of advanced technology and our surgical
expertise. At our prestigious Harley Street Clinic we are
continually striving towards excellence and are committed
to sharing our knowledge and experience with other members
of the optical professions.
Advance Vision Care's clinical experts are highly respected
within their field of expertise and many of them regularly
lecture, train and educate their fellow optical colleagues
on a variety of clinical subjects including refractive surgery.
Consequently global eye care company, Bausch & Lomb, has chosen
to work with Advance Vision Care's clinical team to facilitate
ongoing education and training within the optical community,
on the latest advances in refractive surgery.

The Clinical Team
At Advance Vision Care we treat all our patients as individuals.
Our dedicated team will take time to reassure you, answer
your questions and familiarise you with every stage of the
diagnostic, treatment and post-treatment process.
You will be introduced to a specialist who will advise you
about the results you can expect. Treatment will only take
place once we are confident that it will be suitable for you;
and when you decide to proceed.
After the treatment is completed we will ensure you continue
to receive the same high levels of care and understanding
throughout our comprehensive after-care programme.
