What is laser surgery or laser vision correction?
The term refers to surgery using an excimer laser to reshape the front surface of the eye (the cornea) so that light becomes accurately focused into the eye. Many different types of focusing error (including shortsightedness and astigmatism) can be corrected. However, some extreme forms of focusing error are not suitable, nor are eyes with thin, flat or conical corneas.
Our qualified optometrists can assess and discuss your suitability to laser vision correction and also are involved in the co-management of your ocular health after surgery.
The amount of improvement that you can expect after surgery depends on many different factors, and our optometrists can discuss these issues with you, taking into account you clinical history, lifestyle and occupation.
