Eye care in Galway

If you are researching laser eye surgery in Galway, including LASIK or PRK, you can begin with a local consultation to assess your vision and discuss whether these options may be suitable. Consultations are also available for patients exploring Lens Replacement Surgery, Phakic IOL Surgery or Cataract Surgery.

Your assessment can help identify vision concerns such as short-sightedness, long-sightedness, astigmatism or age-related changes in near vision, and establish which treatment pathways may be appropriate.

Surgery is not carried out at Optilase Galway. If treatment is recommended, our team will explain which primary surgical clinic you will attend. Your consultation may include eye-health checks, relevant measurements and a discussion of your vision goals, along with guidance on treatment preparation and aftercare.
