Laser Eye Surgery - Laser Correction Surgery UK

Laser Eye Surgery is a procedure to improve vision. The results can be life changing and because of this Laser Eye Surgery has become one of the most popular elective procedures performed in the world.

There are several different Laser Eye Surgical Treatments available. The two most common treatments performed are LASIK and LASEK Laser Eye Surgery. The individual requirements of the patient’s determine the treatment which is most suitable. Laser Eye Surgery can be used to treat individuals that are either short (myopic) or long sighted (hyperopic) or if an individual has a condition called astigmatism which involves a patient having an oval rather than spherical cornea shape.

What are the benefits of Laser Eye Surgery?

The main benefits from undergoing Laser Eye Surgery include not having to wear glasses or contact lenses anymore, not having any restriction when playing sports or swimming, and being able to get up in the morning and see clearly.

What does Laser Eye Surgery involve?

Laser Eye Surgery is generally performed under local anaesthetic. These eye drops are placed into the eye which is being treated. An incision is then made using a knife into the cornea which creates a flap. The flap is then folded back to reveal the middle part of the cornea which is then sculpted accordingly using a cool laser beam. The flap is then replaced and the Laser Eye Surgery is complete.

It is possible to have both eyes treated in one day and your consultant will be able to advise you accordingly. It is general practice to treat each eye as a separate Laser Eye treatment.

Laser Eye Surgery is a generally safe and popular procedure. A qualified consultant will provide you with information including the possible side effects prior to or during the consultation stage. The risks of having any vision threatening side effects are minimal.

What are the costs of Laser Eye Surgery?

The cost of Laser Eye Surgery varies depending on the type of procedure you have and the clinic you attend. Generally, Laser Eye Surgery costs from between £395 and £595.
