Why have Laser eye surgery?
The use of the excimer laser and the femtosecond laser to correct short sight, astigmatism and long sight, is the most advanced procedure presently available to reduce dependence on glasses and contact lenses.
Laser Refractive Surgery alters the curvature of the cornea (the front surface of the eye) by removing microscopic amounts of corneal tissue. This can be done using the VisuMax femtosecond laser and the MEL80 excimer laser to perform a process called photoablation.
The corneal reshaping can be performed:
- On the surface of the cornea in ASA (Advanced Surface Ablation) LASEK
- In the middle of the cornea in femtoLASIK
Laser refractive surgery is still evolving, and subject to ongoing research. However large numbers of people worldwide have had laser surgery, with the vast majority experiencing excellent outcomes. With follow up studies of up to 15 years now being reported, surface laser treatment has been shown to be very safe and effective.
Reasons for having refractive surgery include:
- The inability to tolerate contact lenses.
- An occupation, profession or activity requiring good unaided vision - such as Police, aviation or professional sporting industries.
- The desire to have more normal vision without dependence upon glasses.
- The freedom to be able to participate in contact or water sports.
- The freedom to have less dependence on glasses in emergency situations.
- Cosmetic or personal reasons.
- May cost less than glasses and contact lens over your life time
