Contact lens surgery featured on BBC documentary

Optegra Eye Hospital Birmingham has featured in a BBC One documentary because of a surgery performed on Amreeta Aujla, 27, which saw her sight restored.

‘One Day that Changed my Life’ covered the life of Aujla, a radiographer at the Royal Stoke University Hospital, who had suffered from poor vision since the age of 10.

She had relied on glasses and contact lenses for most of her life and was told her prescription was too strong for laser eye surgery. Despondent at the thought of living life with poor vision, Aujla explored the option of implantable contact lenses (ICL) with Optegra.
