Minimally Invasive Laser Vision Correction
SMILE is one of the latest advances in laser vision correction and is designed to correct refractive errors with a minimally invasive approach.
Using the advanced VisuMax femtosecond laser, a small lenticule is created within the cornea and removed through a tiny incision. Unlike traditional LASIK procedures, SMILE does not require the creation of a large corneal flap.
Benefits include:
– Minimally invasive procedure
– Reduced disruption to the corneal surface
– Fast recovery
– Advanced precision technology
Advanced Bladeless LASIK Technology
FemtoLASIK is an all-laser LASIK procedure that combines femtosecond laser technology with excimer laser reshaping for highly precise vision correction.
Unlike traditional LASIK, FemtoLASIK creates the corneal flap without the use of a blade, improving precision and patient comfort.
Benefits include:
– Bladeless laser procedure
– Precise corneal flap creation
– Fast visual recovery
– Advanced laser accuracy
No-Touch Laser Eye Surgery
TransPRK is a fully laser-assisted surface treatment that removes the need for instruments touching the eye during the procedure.
Using advanced Schwind Amaris laser technology and 6-dimensional eye tracking, TransPRK can also assist some patients who may not qualify for other laser procedures.
Benefits include:
– No-touch treatment approach
– Single-step laser procedure
– Suitable for certain difficult corneas
– Advanced eye-tracking technology
Helping Slow The Progression of Keratoconus
Keratoconus is a condition where the cornea gradually becomes thinner and changes shape, leading to distorted or blurry vision.
Corneal collagen cross-linking is designed to strengthen the cornea and help slow or stop progression of the condition.
Cross-linking helps:
– Stabilise corneal changes
– Slow keratoconus progression
– Protect long-term vision
– Reduce worsening of corneal distortion
WHY PEOPLE CONSIDER LASER EYE SURGERY
Tired Of:
- Constantly wearing glasses?
- Dryness from contact lenses?
- Struggling during sport or exercise?
- Fogging glasses while driving or working?
- The ongoing cost of contact lenses and eyewear?
Laser vision correction may help improve your quality of life and visual freedom.
Suitability depends on your eye health, prescription stability, corneal thickness, lifestyle needs, and other clinical factors. Your screening assessment helps determine the most appropriate option for you.
Most laser eye procedures involve minimal discomfort and are performed using numbing eye drops.
Recovery times vary depending on the procedure performed and individual healing responses. Many patients notice visual improvement within days.
Yes. Future eye procedures are still possible. Always inform your ophthalmologist about previous laser vision correction procedures.
As with any medical procedure, laser eye surgery carries potential risks and complications. Your specialist will discuss these thoroughly during your consultation and screening process.
