Laser Eye Treatments - Laser Vision Correction
Laser Eye Surgery also known as Laser Vision Correction is a surgical vision correction technique which uses computer controlled lasers to reshape the cornea therefore treating common vision problems such as short or long sightedness.
What are the benefits of Laser Eye Treatment?
Laser Eye Treatment can mean that you’ll never have to wear glasses or contact lenses again. The surgery lasts for only a few minutes on each eye and you’ll be amazed at how effective it is. Laser Vision Correction is not only fast but cost effective. If you add up what you would be spending on expensive glasses or lenses, Laser Eye Treatment can end up appearing quite cheap.
Laser Eye Surgery can treat all the usual optical problems such as short or long sightedness and many patients end up with perfect 20/20 vision. Laser Vision Correction is popular because it has a very high success rate, is cost effective, quick and low risk.
What does Laser Eye Treatment involve?
There are many different Laser Eye Treatment techniques and we’ve put a brief summary of the top ones below. Don’t worry about deciding which one is right for you – after you have completed our brief Laser Vision Correction enquiry form a qualified practitioner will be in touch and advise you about these procedures and your suitability.

What are the main Laser Eye Treatments?
LASIK
LASIK (laser assisted in situ keratomileusis) is a Laser Vision Correction procedure which has been in popular use for over 10 years. In essence this Laser Vision Correction technique involves creating a flap on the corneal tissue, remodelling the cornea with a laser and then repositioning the flap.
LASEK
LASEK (laser epithelial Keratomileusis) is a regularly used Laser Eye Treatment procedure suitable for patients that are not appropriate for LASIK eye surgery usually due to having too little corneal tissue. Recovery times are slightly longer than for LASIK.
Epi-LASIK
Epi-LASIK (Epithelial LASIK) is a Laser Eye procedure that is very similar to LASIK and LASEK but it was developed to solve some issues surgeons and patients were experiencing with the two techniques.
PRK
The PRK (Photorefractive keratectomy) Laser Vision Correction procedure was first performed in 1987. Principally it differs from the aforementioned Laser Vision Correction procedures in that the laser is applied to the outer area of the cornea.
Laser Eye Treatments are a generally safe and popular way of improving your vision. A qualified consultant will provide you with information including the possible side effects of Laser Vision Correction procedures prior to or during the consultation stage. The risks of having any vision threatening side effects are minimal.
What is the cost of Laser Eye Treatments?
Laser Eye Surgery prices vary depending on factors such as the procedure and the surgeon but typical costs per eye are in the £600 to £1500 bracket.
How can I afford Laser Vision Correction Prices?
A Laser Eye Treatment consultation is often free or may involve a deposit which is deducted from the cost of the Laser Vision Correction procedure. Don’t worry about the upfront costs of Laser Eye Treatment - most clinics offer interest free credit and flexible payment options.
