Wavefront analysis LASIK in the UK?

Are there any places offering this in the UK yet?

A Google search didn’t find any.

Cheers,
Toby

    Moorfields is testing it. You can also find it in these 2 private
    clinics :

    Is Wavefront analysis LASIK any different from, like, ‘LASIK’?  Because there
    are lots and lots of places that offer LASIK and have done for some years,
    but I don’t know whether Wavefront analysis is standard or a new flavour or
    something.

    Wavefront is a diagnostic technology that determines the presence and
    amount of higher order aberrations.  Think of wavefront as an
    auto-refraction on steroids.

    Doctors use this additional information to help screen patients and
    determine the most appropriate way to perform LASIK, PRK, LASEK, or
    other refractive techniques.
