How long does Laser Eye Surgery Last?

14 Jun 2013

Optilase Laser Eye Clinics perform eye surgery using a laser to permanently reshape the cornea.
 
The results of laser eye surgery should last a lifetime as the cornea is an extremely stable tissue. Only a very small number of patients have had regression to the eye which has required further laser treatment.

What does the Laser do?

The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye which covers the lens, the coloured iris and the pupil. Ideally, the cornea should form a perfect sphere, which refracts the light entering the eye onto the retina at the back of the eye, forming a perfectly clear image.
 
If the cornea is misshapen in any way, it can cause refractive errors in peoples’ vision, as they will experience one of several sight problems.

Who is suitable for Laser Eye Surgery?

Laser eye surgery is suitable for those who are short-sighted (myopic), long-sighted (hyperopic) and those who suffer from astigmatism. Laser eye surgery can correct these problems by reshaping the cornea permanently, helping to restore the quality of eyesight to the patient, without the need for glasses and contact lenses.
 
Optilase offer a free consultation with one of their experienced Optometrists to allow you to discover if you are a viable candidate for Laser Eye Surgery. If so, they will discuss your options and the details; if not, they’ll tell you that, too.

When is the Best Time to Have Laser Eye Surgery?

Although the surgery Optilase performs is permanent; it is important to choose the best time of your life to have it done, as it is possible that your eye requirements will change over time.
 
For instance Optilase will not perform Laser Eye Surgery on people under the age of eighteen, as it’s too young to establish the long-term vision requirements.
 
The condition of the eye may also change during pregnancy, therefore surgery is not recommended for women who are pregnant.

I recently had the PRK procedure a month ago. It's been life changing to be able to see clearly after wearing glasses for 20 years. My vision was not 20/20 after surgery since I had PRK and I was first scared that it won't get better. But give it time and patience and it will improve. Optilase was superb on aftercare and the team during the surgery really took care of me. I'm so happy ❤️ Thank you Optilase!

I found the whole process very professional and very well organised. They also assisted in the documentation process very easy. They were also very good to help in arranging the reference process too. If I was make one small comment is they need to add a prescription painkiller to the process. Although the after experience was exactly what was expected it could been managed better with a stronger pain relief. Other than that I have recommended 3 people to get the procedure from Optilase, all of which had a great experience. I would highly recommend Optilase for vision correction and the long term benefits have changed my life.
