No Need for Nerves before Laser Eye Surgery

09 Dec 2013

If you have planning to undergo Laser Eye Surgery, then it’s perfectly normal to be a bit jittery about the whole thing.

 

Laser Eye Surgery is a big deal to the patient, especially if you have a high prescription and are, for want of a better description ‘blind as a bat’.

Prepare yourself for a lens-free life

When you walk into an Optilase clinic for your Laser Eye Surgery, you will be wearing the pair of glasses that you will have relied on in order to see objects clearly for the very last time.

 

After your Laser Eye Surgery procedure, which takes less than half an hour, you will be able to leave with perfect vision, rendering your faithful specs useless.

 

Computer-controlled Laser Eye Surgery

Pioneered in 1989, Laser Eye Surgery is constantly evolving and adapting to advances in technology which has seen the safety record for the procedure increase drastically in the last decade.

 

The risk of something going wrong is less than 5% thanks to the use of bladeless technology, computer-controlled lasers and 3D corneal scanners.

 

Psyching yourself up for Laser Eye Surgery

Laser Eye Surgery is a delicate procedure on a very delicate part of your anatomy, so knowing the facts can help in reassuring you that you have made the right decision.

 

At Optilase, we use the most up-to-date and latest developments in Laser Eye Surgery and during your free consultation you will have the opportunity to ask any niggling questions or concerns you might have.

 

The Laser Eye Surgery procedure

Once you are deemed a suitable candidate for Laser Eye Surgery, on the day itself the procedure will begin with you lying on your back and anaesthetic eye drops being placed in your eyes to numb the area.

 

A Femtosecond will be used first to create the corneal flap that can be folded back and to allow the corrective laser to be positioned over the eye.

 

This laser, known as the Excimer Laser removes a pre-programmed amount of corneal tissue to either steepen or flatten its shape depending on your particular refractive error.

 

Once this has been completed, the procedure is over and the corneal flap is folded back in place and immediately begins healing.

 

See a whole new world with Laser Eye Surgery

After your Laser Eye Surgery you will immediately be able to see everything with perfect clarity, which can be a bit overwhelming.

 

It will take some getting used to and you will have to wear protective goggles for the first 24 hours to make sure nothing gets into the eye that might irritate it. The goggles also prevent you from accidently rubbing your eye which could disrupt the corneal flap.

From beginning to End of my procedure with Optilase, I was treated personally and professionally. The surgery, true aftercare was smooth and efficient and I can only say it was the perfect choice for us . I highly recommend Optilase.

I recently had the PRK procedure a month ago. It's been life changing to be able to see clearly after wearing glasses for 20 years. My vision was not 20/20 after surgery since I had PRK and I was first scared that it won't get better. But give it time and patience and it will improve. Optilase was superb on aftercare and the team during the surgery really took care of me. I'm so happy ❤️ Thank you Optilase!

I found the whole process very professional and very well organised. They also assisted in the documentation process very easy. They were also very good to help in arranging the reference process too. If I was make one small comment is they need to add a prescription painkiller to the process. Although the after experience was exactly what was expected it could been managed better with a stronger pain relief. Other than that I have recommended 3 people to get the procedure from Optilase, all of which had a great experience. I would highly recommend Optilase for vision correction and the long term benefits have changed my life.
