Laser Eye Surgery Laser surgery involves
using light to cut a tiny flap in the cornea and then reposition
it to reshape the eyeball and refocus the image. It’s done
under local anaesthetic and the second eye may be done days or weeks
after the first so the surgeon can check the results. Prescriptions
of up to -10 can be treated. It can also treat long-sightedness.
Pros
It’s well researched and in most cases, one will still need
reading glasses from their mid forties.
Cons
It isn't for the squeamish. Some patients get mild but possibly
permanent side-effects, such as dry eyes or distorted night vision.
For very short-sighted people, it may not be totally effective.
Further Information
Laser surgery is relatively unregulated so it's best to get a
personal referral from an Optometrist you trust. We work with
some of the most eminent laser and cataract surgeons in London,
the South East and the Midlands. We carry out an initial
comprehensive consultation, and then refer the patients to
the surgeons for corrective laser, or cataract surgery.
