What Is LASIK Laser Eye Surgery?
LASIK Laser Eye Surgery is a tried and tested laser eye procedure that corrects common vision problems such as short sightedness, long sightedness, and astigmatism. It works by reshaping the cornea so that light focuses correctly on the retina.
During the procedure, a thin flap is created on the surface of your eye. A laser is then used to reshape the tissue underneath before the flap is placed back into position to heal naturally.
The procedure is carried out using numbing eye drops and usually takes only a few minutes per eye. You can return home the same day.
LASIK Laser Eye Surgery is suitable for many adults with stable vision and healthy eyes. A full consultation with a consultant is required to confirm if this treatment is right for you.
