Most people think a quick letter chart is enough to test your vision. But behind the scenes at My-iClinic, there’s a world of cutting-edge diagnostics working to preserve, enhance and even futureproof your eyesight.
When it comes to your vision, precision is everything. Outdated tests may miss early signs of eye disease, overlook subtle vision defects, or lead to treatments that fall short. At My-iClinic, we don’t just check your sight, we map it, measure it, and understand it at a microscopic level. That’s how we help deliver safe laser surgery, perfect lens placements, and better outcomes for people of all ages, from children to older adults.
What it does: Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is like an MRI for your retina. It captures ultra-high-resolution images of the back of your eye in seconds, no discomfort, no dilation, no waiting.
Why it matters: OCT helps detect:
Perfect for adults with family history of eye disease or anyone over 40, and often unavailable on the NHS unless symptoms are already advanced.
What it does: iTrace goes beyond what your glasses prescription says. It maps how light actually travels through your cornea and lens, pinpointing where blur or distortion begins.
Why it matters: This is critical when planning:
It shows whether laser correction is suitable or whether a lens-based solution will deliver sharper vision, especially at night.
What it does: Like a fingerprint of your eye’s surface, this 3D scan shows every curve and contour of your cornea, ideal for spotting issues like astigmatism or keratoconus.
Why it matters:
Every person’s eye is different. Two people can have the same glasses prescription but wildly different internal optics. That’s why My-iClinic has invested in one of the most complete diagnostic suites in North London.
Advanced diagnostics like OCT and iTrace give our team a critical edge: the ability to detect eye conditions before symptoms appear.
Example:
When 43-year-old Amit came in for a routine laser consultation, he had no complaints, just mild blur from working long hours at a North London law firm. But our OCT scan flagged subtle changes in his optic nerve suggestive of early glaucoma. Thanks to our early detection, Amit avoided irreversible damage and started treatment before he even noticed a change in vision.
Why it matters:
Tech like iTrace and corneal topography allow our surgeons to plan and execute treatments with extreme accuracy, reducing risks and improving outcomes.
Example:
Sophie, a 28-year-old graphic designer from Hampstead, had been turned away by another clinic for LASIK due to “irregular corneas.” Using advanced topography at My-iClinic, we identified a safe laser zone and performed SMILE surgery tailored to her eye shape. Today, she enjoys 20/20 vision and says her night driving has never been clearer.
Why it matters:
From children with visual tracking issues to grandparents needing cataract surgery, our all-in-one setup supports lifelong eye health with continuity of care.
Example:
The Patel family from Barnet have trusted My-iClinic for three generations:
Why it matters:
Whether you're bringing in your child for a vision check, booking your own laser surgery consultation, or arranging cataract care for a parent, our diagnostic tools support every generation.
With advanced tech and world-class surgeons in the same building, you’re not being passed around between locations or guessing what’s next. Everything from diagnosis to aftercare happens here at My-iClinic.
“Our tech helps us see things long before they become problems. That’s why our outcomes are so consistently good! Because we’re not guessing. We’re planning with data that many clinics don’t even have access to.”– Lead Surgeon, My-iClinic
Because our tech sees what others miss, and that’s why more families trust My-iClinic.
