LASIK - Laser Eye Surgery

We use the most advanced equipment which makes the procedure safer and more accurate, with better results and faster recovery and completely blade-free laser treatments.

LASIK (laser assisted in-situ keratomileusis)

This is the most popular and well-known type of Laser Vision Correction performed for myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and wavefront abnormalities. Optegra’s LASIK surgery uses the latest computer technology in a fast, painless and completely blade-free procedure that improves the eye’s focusing power, producing clearer, sharper vision. Optegra’s LASIK surgery uses the state-of-the-art Femtosecond laser to focus thousands of tiny laser spots within the cornea. These spots join up and create a flap which can be gently lifted. The cornea is then reshaped using the latest available technology to correct the eye’s refractive error. The LASIK procedure gives patients rapid visual recovery.

The Optegra Femtosecond laser

During the LASIK procedure the protective layer of the eye is lifted back to reveal the corneal tissue. The state-of-the-art Femtosecond laser assists this in the safest way possible by sending microscopic laser pulses onto the cornea, causing the formation of bubbles underneath. These enable the ophthalmic Surgeon to easily and painlessly create a flap. With this technologically advanced laser there is complete control over flap size, thickness and shape, giving you the best, most accurate and unique treatment possible.

The LASIK Procedure

1. Local anaesthetic eye drops are applied to both eyes.
2. The Femtosecond laser is used to create a thin flap by sending microscopic laser pulses onto the cornea.
3. The flap is moved aside by the ophthalmic Surgeon access to the cornea.
4. Your Surgeon then applies the excimer laser to the eye, reshaping the corneal surface to correct the refractive error.
5. The flap is then gently replaced and aligned back to its original position, where it heals naturally without stitches.
