Laser Eye Surgery
20/20 Laser Eye Surgery. 99% Experience Clear Natural Sight.
Laser eye surgery is the process of reshaping the front surface of the eye (the
cornea) in order to correct minute imperfections which affect the eye’s ability to focus.
Depending on the treatment deemed suitable, a thin layer is gently lifted away from the
surface of the eye so the laser can access the layer below and correct the prescription
with pinpoint accuracy. All this is carried out using laser technology to eliminate potential
complications and improve the results for every patient we treat.
Does laser eye surgery hurt?
During treatment, anaesthetic drops are administered, so the procedure is pain-free. We understand
that people are sensitive and protective of their eyes and we take the utmost care to ensure the patient
is comfortable and safe. During the period after treatment, patients may experience some discomfort as
the eye naturally heals. All required eye drops are provided, and over-the-counter painkillers can be
taken to ease any pain if required.
Will my vision revert back to how it was before treatment?
No. Laser eye surgery creates a permanent change to the surface of the eye which
will never be ‘undone’. Before eye surgery, we ensure the patient has a stable prescription
in order to achieve the best possible results – as an unstable prescription means that the
eye is still changing and improvements made by having laser eye surgery may be affected. As
everybody heals differently, we offer free enhancement or top-up treatments to fine-tune the
results so the patient obtains the best vision possible.
Will I need reading glasses when I’m older?
Presbyopia (the need for reading glasses) is a condition brought on by the natural loss of flexibility of
the lens and muscles in the eye. Laser eye surgery corrects only the outer surface of the eye, so the lens is
still prone to natural degradation and reading glasses may still be needed. In order to reverse the effects of
presbyopia, lens surgery may be a suitable option, which involves replacing the natural lens with a synthetic
one to meet the patient’s visual requirements.
What happens if I blink or move during laser eye surgery?
Before treatment, your eye will be gently held open and anaesthetic drops applied.
Our state-of-the-art technology tracks even the smallest movement of the eye and corrects
the laser accordingly. Any larger movements will cause the laser to temporarily stop, and
it will start again when the eye is confirmed to be back in position. Treatment is completed
in a matter of seconds and patients are often amazed at how quick the whole procedure is.
