While most people over 18 with a stable prescription are eligible for LASIK or CLEAR, the best way to know for sure is to book a consultation. If you aren’t suitable for laser procedures due to thin corneas or high prescriptions, we offer excellent alternatives like PRK, ICL, or Refractive Lens Exchange at our clinic.
This is the most common fear, but the answer is no. We use numbing eye drops to ensure you feel no pain during the surgery. You might feel a slight pressure for a few seconds, but the actual laser treatment is incredibly fast. Most patients are surprised at how comfortable the experience is.
Recovery depends on the procedure. For LASIK and CLEAR (lenticule extraction), most patients notice a dramatic improvement immediately and can return to work and driving within 24 to 48 hours. PRK recovery takes a bit longer (about 3-5 days) for vision to stabilize.
Absolutely. Modern laser technology is highly effective at treating astigmatism (irregular curvature of the eye), as well as nearsightedness (myopia) and farsightedness (hyperopia).
Yes, procedures like LASIK and PRK permanently reshape your cornea. However, as eyes age naturally, you may eventually develop presbyopia (need for reading glasses) in your 40s or 50s. We offer solutions for this too, such as PresbyMax or lens replacement.
