Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it important to have a fast laser for laser eye surgery?
Optegra has invested in the most advanced laser available anywhere in the world today, to ensure the best possible results for our patients. The Wavelight CONCERTO laser works at 500 megahertz per second, thus allowing the patient’s experience to be quicker and more comfortable.

After laser eye surgery, will I ever need glasses ever again?
Laser eye surgery can correct most refractive errors depending on your age, however as the natural lens of the eye ages due to presbyopia, but most people will naturally need reading glasses at some point as the eye continues to age.
After laser eye surgery, how quickly can I return to work?
We recommend all of our patients to spend a little time resting with us before leaving. After a quiet evening at home and good night’s sleep, your eyes will be feeling much more comfortable and you will be able to return to work – with a superb new quality of vision. And, of course, your... Read More »
Does laser eye surgery hurt?
Your Consultant will administer eye drops containing local anaesthetic so the treatment will be painless. Following treatment, LASIK patients may experience a gritty feeling for the first day. LASEK patients may experience this for a few days, and painkillers are provided to minimise discomfort.
Is laser eye surgery safe?
It is important to remember that all surgical procedures carry some risks. However, the complication rate in refractive surgery is under 1% and most complications are minor. Your Consultant will be happy to discuss any concerns with you.
How safe is Clarivu – refractive lens exchange?
Clarivu – refractive lens exchange (RLE) is very safe, although no surgery is without risk. RLE surgery is performed in the same way cataract surgery is performed, which is the most common form of surgery in Western Europe. The difference is that an advanced intra ocular lens is inserted into the eye, rather than the regular... Read More »
How do I know if I should have Laser Vision Correction or Clarivu?
You should visit Optegra and undergo rigorous eye examination during your consultation to determine which is the best solution for your vision requirements. Your consultant surgeon will advise you during your free consultation which is the most suitable procedure for your requirements.
