Are you a suitable candidate for LASIK

 

Are 18 years or older
– Your eyes must be fully developed for stable vision correction.

Have a stable prescription (for at least 12 months)
– Minimal changes in your vision ensure more accurate long-term results.

  • No more worrying about cleaning lenses, packing solutions, or replacing lost glasses or torn contacts.
  • Reduces long-term waste from disposable contacts, packaging, and plastic lens cases.A more sustainable alternative to decades of lens use.
  • No more annual lens or frame fittings.
  • If you suffer from seasonal allergies, LASIK can reduce the discomfort that contact lenses often make worse during pollen season.

While LASIK is an upfront investment, it often costs less over time than years of buying glasses, prescription sunglasses, and contact lenses.

How Does LASIK Work

LASIK is one of the most trusted and popular laser eye procedures in the world quick, safe, and life-changing. Here's what to expect:

  1. Step 1: Custom Vision Mapping
    We use advanced imaging to scan your eyes and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your exact vision needs.

  2. Step 2: Flap Creation
    A thin flap is gently created on the surface of your cornea using a precision laser.

  3. Step 3: Vision Correction
    A second laser is used to reshape the underlying corneal tissue this is what corrects your vision.

  4. Step 4: Flap Replaced
    The flap is carefully repositioned. It naturally seals itself without stitches, and healing begins immediately.

With LASIK, most patients notice clearer vision within hours and return to work or daily activities in just a day or two.
