Change your life in 30 minutes with Laser Eye Surgery

Thousands of people across Ireland have decided enough is enough and chose to ditch their glasses and embrace the freedom Laser Eye Surgery offers.

 

At Optilase, there are a range of procedures available that instantly reverse years of poor eyesight and blurred vision, replacing it instead with perfectly clear vision.

 

During your free consultation at Optilase, you will undergo an in-depth eye exam and have the time to ask any and all questions you have about Laser Eye Surgery.

Why do I need glasses to see?

Refractive errors are the reason behind vision defects such as long or shortsightedness and astigmatism.

 

All these common eyesight problems are caused when refraction (bending of light) in the eye is impaired because of an irregular shaped cornea.

 

The cornea is a clear dome-shaped layer located at the front of the eye, and should have a perfect gradient so refraction takes place correctly and light is focused on the retina at the back of the eye.

 

When the cornea is too steep, too flat or more oval-shaped rather that being a perfect sphere, light is incorrectly focused on the retina.

 

Wearing glasses or contact lenses fixes this problem, but Laser Eye Surgery offers a permanent solution to corrective lenses.

Is Laser Eye Surgery safe?

Laser Eye Surgery is one of the most popular elective surgeries in the world and has been used to correct refractive errors for over 20 years.

 

At Optilase, only the latest, safest and most advanced laser technology is used to ensure patient safety and patient satisfaction during Laser Eye Surgery.

 

The Excimer Laser is the type of laser that is used to reshape an irregular shaped cornea by removing small amounts of tissue so that after surgery your eyes will refract light correctly.

 

Both eyes are treated on the same day and the procedure takes less than 30 minutes. Results are instant, meaning immediately after Laser Eye Surgery, you will no longer have to rely on glasses or contact lenses to see objects clearly.

 

If you are interested in eliminating the need to wear corrective lenses, book your free consultation on +353 1 223 8821.

I had LASIK done in Dublin after a consultation and follow up in Derry. From the very start, Elizabeth in Derry put me at ease with her approach. Such a warm, helpful way about her. Surgeon Mikhall Hernandez took the time to meet me in advance to explain the process. All the staff- Iwona, Julie, Jess, Robbie (from Donegal!) and Rachael, I really appreciated the way they supported me from start to finish

I had a great LASIK experience at Optilase Carrickmines and couldn’t be happier with the results. Dr. Tom Materman is incredibly kind, attentive, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I highly recommend him, as well as the whole Optilase team! I didn’t feel anything during the procedure, which was much easier than I expected. My recovery has also been going really well—I’m only on day two, and everything has been smooth so far. Thank you to everyone at Optilase for the excellent care!

Life changing. From the initial consultation to the aftercare, Optilase have been friendly, professional and caring every step of the way. No worry or concern was too small for a detailed discussion and helpful response. 3 months after my phakic lens surgery my vision is as good as it ever was with glasses without the hassle. Would recommend the Optilase Carrickmines team to anyone.
