What is laser eye surgery? Laser eye surgery is a type of treatment that corrects poor vision to give you a life without glasses or contact lenses. It’s a rapid procedure which can be done in just a few minutes, and without any discomfort. It can correct both refractive and non-refractive eye conditions such as short-sightedness, long-sightedness and astigmatism. A state-of-the-art laser is used to reshape the surface of the eye (called the cornea) and rectify imperfections to give you a vision. Thanks to the latest advancement in technology, laser eye surgery is now completely safe and the most popular elective surgery in the world. Get the infopack What are the types of laser eye surgery? Laser vision correction works by correcting the focus of the cornea. The different types of laser eye surgery are: LASIK, LASEK, ReLEx SMILE. We are the only UK group to offer all these options, based on what is ideal for your unique vision correction needs. LASIK LASIK is the most popular type of laser eye surgery. It’s a safe and effective treatment for short-sightedness, long-sightedness and astigmatism. It offers excellent visual outcomes and a rapid recovery time. Learn more Am I suitable for laser eye surgery? Laser eye surgery is ideal if you are affected by short sight, long sight or astigmatism. Short-sightedness can range from mild, where treatment may not be required, to severe, where objects will appear blurry. In the long term, long-sightedness, can significantly cause headaches and tiredness due to “over-focus” and lead to double vision. Depending on the seriousness of the problem contact lenses or glasses can be worn but some people may find it less of a hassle to have laser eye surgery. How does laser eye surgery work?

What Is the best age for laser eye surgery? Most expert eye surgeons agree the ideal ages for laser eye surgery are people between 21-40 years old. By the age of 21 the eye stops changing and is safe to operate on. By the age of 40, the person can experience different types of vision impairments that will need to be assessed before being corrected. For instance, laser eye surgery can correct your short-sightedness but not your presbyopia. Then, patients could find themselves continuing to wear reading glasses after the surgery.
