Laser Eye Surgery

When people talk about laser eye surgery, they usually use the term LASIK – Laser–Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis – but this is merely a type of surgery that corrects the way the eye processes light, also known as refractive surgery.

Eye surgery performed with lasers is generally used to help improve your vision without the use of eyeglasses or contacts. It allows you to see better naturally and can also help build the self esteem of patients who are uncomfortable wearing corrective lenses.

Laser eye surgery can be used for a variety of conditions, including:

• Retinal tears
• Refractive errors
• Myopia
• Hyperopia
• Astigmatisms

While laser eye surgery has helped 10s of thousands of people improve their vision, it is not for everyone. There are many factors – including your lifestyle – that must be considered before deciding to pursue this elective surgery.
