Laser Refractive Surgery is available for:
LASIK – Laser Vision Correction
LASIK is the most commonly performed laser eye surgery to treat myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism. Ideally suited for people with an active lifestyle. Read more
SMILE
SMILE is a variation of LASIK where a small sliver of corneal tissue is separated from the rest of the cornea by laser and then manually removed through a small incision. At present this is principally used for moderate and high myopia (shortsightedness). Read more
PRK
Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) differs from LASIK in that it involves the complete removal of the surface layer of the cornea (epithelium) before the laser correction begins. This is typically only useful for low refractive errors due to potential scarring. Read more
Multi-focal Lens Implants
This procedure involves replacing the natural lens of the eye with an artificial lens of the required power to provide better unaided vision.
