Laser Eye Surgery

LASER EYE SURGERY

Laser eye surgery is a revolutionary procedure that corrects vision problems by reshaping the cornea using precise laser technology. This safe and effective treatment can reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses and contact lenses for conditions like myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism.

Our clinic offers state-of-the-art laser vision correction using the latest technologies performed by experienced surgeons. The procedure is quick, virtually painless, and provides rapid visual recovery with most patients achieving 20/20 vision or better.

Who is a Good Candidate for Laser Eye Surgery?
  • Adults aged 18-50 years with stable vision prescription
  • Healthy eyes free from diseases like keratoconus or severe dry eye
  • Moderate refractive errors (typically up to -10.0 diopters for myopia)
  • Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
  • Non-pregnant women (hormonal changes can affect vision stability)
  • Those with adequate corneal thickness as determined by pre-op tests

TYPES OF LASER TREATMENTS WE OFFER

Green Laser Treatment

A precise laser treatment primarily used for retinal conditions like diabetic retinopathy and retinal tears. The green wavelength is selectively absorbed by hemoglobin, making it ideal for treating abnormal blood vessels in the retina.

YAG Laser Treatment

Used for posterior capsulotomy after cataract surgery and for certain types of glaucoma. The YAG laser creates precise openings in eye tissues without damaging surrounding structures, helping to clear visual obstructions and improve fluid drainage.

Frequently Asked Questions about Laser Eye Surgery

  • Is laser eye surgery painful?

    Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. Numbing eye drops are used to ensure comfort. You may feel some pressure but not pain. Mild irritation or dryness may occur for a few days after surgery.

  • How long does the procedure take?

    The actual laser treatment typically takes less than a minute per eye. The entire process, including preparation and post-op instructions, usually takes about 15-30 minutes for both eyes.

  • When will I see results?

    Many patients notice improved vision immediately after surgery, with vision typically stabilizing within 24-48 hours for LASIK and 3-7 days for PRK. Full stabilization may take 3-6 months.

  • Are the results permanent?

    Yes, the corneal reshaping is permanent. However, your eyes can still change naturally with age (presbyopia after 40) which may require reading glasses later in life.

  • What are the risks?

    Modern laser eye surgery is extremely safe. Potential risks include dry eyes, glare/halos at night (usually temporary), under/overcorrection, or infection (very rare). Our thorough pre-screening minimizes these risks.
