TREATMENTS

LASIK

LASIK changes the shape of the cornea to improve the way light is focused or 'refracted' by the eye.

First, a thin layer of the cornea is lifted back. Then, ultraviolet light and high energy pulses from the excimer laser reshape the internal cornea. By adjusting the laser, it is possible to treat high levels of nearsightedness, astigmatism and moderated amounts of far-sightedness. After the tissue has been reshaped, the flap is replaced in its original position. Healing is rapid and does not require stitches.
