Understanding Laser Eye Surgery

Laser Eye Surgery uses a laser to reshape the surface of your eye (cornea) to correct myopia (short-sightedness), hypermetropia (long-sightedness), and astigmatism (uneven curvature of the eye surface). It can set you free from wearing contact lenses and glasses, with a cool beam advanced laser making subtle adjustments to correct microscopic imperfections. Most patients express surprise at how quickly they recover after the surgery.

Benefits of Laser Eye Surgery

Laser eye surgery offers numerous benefits over glasses and contact lenses, including:

Long-lasting solution: Unlike glasses and contact lenses, which need frequent replacement, laser eye surgery provides a long-term solution based on your prescription.
Increased freedom: You won't need to carry or worry about glasses or contact lenses, allowing you to engage in activities like swimming without prescription goggles.
Reduced risk of infection: Contact lenses can increase the risk of eye infections or ulcers. This risk is extremely low with laser eye surgery.
Boosted confidence: No more worrying about how you look in glasses at social gatherings or in photos.
Cost savings: Over a lifetime, the cost of glasses and contact lenses can add up significantly, whereas laser treatment is a one-off expense.
Environmental benefits: Millions of used contact lenses harm the environment.
No more weight on your ears or nose: Laser surgery eliminates the need for heavy glasses.
No more foggy glasses when wearing a mask: Enjoy clear vision without fogged-up glasses.

How Does Laser Eye Surgery Work?

This advanced procedure takes only a few seconds as the laser makes minimal adjustments to the eye surface (the cornea), enabling proper light focus. The process is quick, easy, effective, and safe. Our professional team will guide you through extensive screening and tests to assess your suitability.

Types of Laser Eye Surgery

We offer the most popular types of laser eye surgery, including LASIK and LASEK, utilising state-of-the-art technology for optimal visual outcomes.

LASIK

The most popular refractive surgery for correcting long-sightedness, short-sightedness, and astigmatism. It involves creating a thin flap with a femtosecond laser and correcting the prescription with an excimer laser. The procedure takes a few minutes, with most patients achieving better vision within 48 hours.

LASEK

Also known as PRK, this was the first type of laser eye correction surgery and is ideal for patients with thinner or irregular corneas. It uses the same excimer laser and wavefront technology as LASIK but without the femto laser flap creation. Recovery time is slightly longer.

Aftercare and Recovery

Proper aftercare is crucial for a smooth recovery. Your eyes will be sensitive after surgery,
so it's essential to protect them to avoid complications. Our aftercare program includes:

First few days

Avoid showers and strenuous activities. Refrain from work to allow your eyes to heal.

First week

Avoid eye makeup and exposure to irritants. Rubbing your eyes can cause discomfort and complications.

First month

Enjoy sports and other activities. Regular follow-ups ensure your eyes are healing correctly.

Eligibility for Laser Eye Surgery

This procedure significantly improves conditions like long-sightedness, short-sightedness, and astigmatism, offering freedom from glasses and contact lenses. It's a quick process that takes only a few minutes.

I had a great experience performing my laser eye surgery at Optimal Vision Clinic. All the staffs are very helpful, co-operative and supportive throughout the treatment process. On the first call, they explained the entire procedure in details and gave necessary instructions at every stage. My eye surgeon made me feel comfortable and relaxed before and during the procedure. Aftercare was done properly with a thorough check-up of my eyes. I would like to recommend this clinic to everyone!

Debra Virginia

Very happy and impressed with the highly professional care and service I’ve received at the Optimal Vision clinic. Dr Mani is so professional, and he explained everything about Laser surgery and answered all my questions. The surgery was quick and almost completely painless. My eyes have healed perfectly and quickly. I would highly recommend this clinic.

Samira Emadi

My husband had been experiencing discomfort in his left eye since July and was seen by various doctors/consultants even at the Queen Mary’s hospital but no abnormalities were found.
This week Dr. Mani discovered the fault which happened to be Retina detachment with three tears.
Dr. Mani’s preciseness and his perfectionist attitude to attention to details, detected the source of the main issue and saved my husband’s eye. We feel utterly grateful and can not recommend him enough for his excellence.
