Frequently asked questions

Why is it important to have a fast laser for vision correcion?

Optegra have 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. Having a faster laser reduces the risk of infection and dry eye, and increases the chances of the patient returning to normal day-to-day activites sooner. The CONCERTO laser itself, also reduces the risk of night-vision problems occuring.

After Laser Vision Correction, will I ever need glasses ever again?

Laser vision correction is permanent, but most people will naturally need reading glasses at some point as the eye continues to age.

After Laser Vision Correction, 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 surgeon or a member of our team will be on-hand to provide you with any advice or reassurance if you need this.

Does Laser Vision Correction 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 Vision Correction 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 a refractive lens is inserted into the eye, rather than the regular monofocal lens which would normally be fitted during cataract surgery.

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.
