Eye care in Athlone

Optilase Athlone provides consultations and aftercare for patients exploring a range of vision correction and eye treatment options. Depending on your eye health and prescription, Optilase treatment pathways include LASIK and PRK, cataract surgery, and lens implant surgery, including Lens Replacement and Phakic IOL options.

If you are experiencing short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism or age-related changes such as presbyopia, your assessment can help identify what is affecting your vision and which treatment options may be appropriate.

If you live in or around Athlone and are considering LASIK, PRK, Lens Replacement, Phakic IOL or cataract surgery, you can begin your treatment journey with a local consultation at Optilase Athlone. Surgery itself is not performed at the Athlone clinic. If treatment is recommended, we will explain clearly which primary Optilase clinic your procedure will take place at and what happens next.

What to expect at your Athlone consultation

Your consultation gives you the opportunity to understand what may be affecting your vision, explore the treatment options that may be suitable for you and ask questions before making any decisions.

Depending on the reason for your visit, your appointment may include a discussion of your vision history and goals, detailed vision testing, assessment of your eye health and measurements relevant to the treatment you are considering.

If further treatment is appropriate, the team will explain what happens next, including where any procedure would take place, what preparation may be required and what follow-up care to expect.
