Reply: Faulty Oculentis Lenses

I had lense replacement at optical express 2012. My eye sight is getting worse especially in one eye. I was advised I would need laser (YAG) as there were a fault with the batch of lenses I visited the clinic today and got told the yag procedure does not work. I would need the lense replaced but there is a long waiting list.
Please advise me as I am so worried
Thanks

My Wife was fitted with the occulentis lenses in 2015, she has had the right eye lenses explanted in October 24, by Optical Express as the NHS would not do it and after weeks of back and forth with Optical Express, they eventual agreed to change the lense, We are now looking into making a claim against Optical Express but did not want to go with the miriad of ambulance chasers on the internet.

Any advice would be greatly received

Hello
I’m hoping someone here can offer me advice please.

I had lens replacement surgery at Optical Express in 2014 and until 2020; no problems at all.

Then started to have very blurred vision so when to Moorfields eye hospital when they have seen me every 6 months to monitor my vision.

I’ve now been told that the lenses used in both eyes are from a faulty Oculentis batch and only option for me is to have them replaced which is quite a risky operation. Has anyone had this done and how did it go and also is the a way I can claim back my original money and also for the money it’s going to cost me to have them placed privately at Moorfields which is around £10,000.

Thanks for any advice
Jan

Incase you didn't know, Teleon has sold to the Chinese company Gaush, their Chinese distributor. Gaush is now going public in HK and had to post the details of the purchase..

Looks like deal around 171 Million Euro...

I hope those that are expecting get what they are owed..

Posted 30 July 2021: 'As I predicted when they started trading as Teleon in 2020, Oculentis has declared bankruptcy...'

But whilst lawyers representing so many clients fitted with Oculentis faulty lenses battle on with legal claims, and victims needing explants burden nhs.uk, the Oculentis management team are laughing!

Because, before putting Oculentis into administration last year,
CEO Ben Wanders set up Teleon-Surgical, enabling his company to continue trading uninterrupted and unecumbered by debt or responsibility.

Although most of the Oculentis team are listed on Teleon-Surgical website, I note that Mark Lansu (still wearing specs!) has now replaced Ben Wanders as CEO.

Yet another unscrupulous and unethical company, caring only about profits, without regard for so many customers whose lives they've contributed to ruining!

NB: I have been advised by one lawyer representing a number of Optical Express and Optegra Eye Hospital customers fitted with faulty lenses that claims are continuing.

If you need advice re the above, and not already in litigation, please contact: sasha@mybeautifuleyes.co.uk :kiss:

As I predicted in my 27 August 2020 post, when they started trading as Teleon in 2020, Oculentis has declared bankruptcy

Solicitors representing so many clients fitted with faulty Oculentis lenses have yet to find out where that leaves current legal claims against the company.

But more importantly, what happens to the 'Patient Pathway' for those who still need the faulty lenses explanting?

Optical Express and Optegra Eye Hospital fitted many of these lenses, but I know they won't offer to explant for free if Oculentis are no longer funding.

Another burden for the NHS!

Shame on all involved, including distributors Topcon.

NB: This is just one VERY good reason not to risk unregulated and unnecessary lens exchange or cataract surgery with private companies, because they might not be around to provide aftercare if there're problems at a later date!

For example, Optimax has already declared insolvency and entered a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA), which means they could be forced into administration (bankruptcy) very soon if they're unable to pay their creditors - of which it seems I'm one, according to owner Russell Ambrose!
