LASER EYE SURGERY

Laser eye surgery is a corrective procedure used to treat several types of eye defects like reading vision problem (presbyopia), long-sightedness (hyper myopia), short-sightedness (myopia), and astigmatism.

There are different techniques used in laser eye surgery to correct each type of eye defect. The surgery works by reshaping the cornea (the transparent part of the eye) and adjusting the eye focus to give a better vision. The eye surgeon achieves this by using laser light, and the procedure is usually painless because our anaesthetist will apply anaesthetic drops.

Types Of Laser Eye Surgery

Three types of laser eye surgery are available, namely ReLex SMILE, LASIK, and LASEK. The type suitable for you will depend on your eye health, personal preference, and medical history.

You can correct both eyes during one surgical session, and this takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
