Am I suitable for laser eye surgery?

Laser eye surgery can be safely recommended for most people, but there are some exceptions. Certain eye or medical conditions and some general health problems may make the procedure unsuitable.

Individual care – every time
Please remember every individual is different. You will need to have a free, no obligation consultation with one of our ophthalmic surgeons to determine your own suitability.

Laser eye surgery may not be suitable for people who need very strong glasses, or whose main problem is dependence on reading glasses. The good news is that Optegra has the expertise required to offer lens implants, so if you are not suitable for Laser eye surgery, worry not, we may still be able to help.

There is no upper age limit for Laser eye surgery, but it cannot effectively correct eyesight for individuals who have presbyopia and only need reading glasses. Patients who wear bifocal or varifocal glasses may benefit from refractive lens surgery using accommodating or multifocal lens implants.

Even if you are not suitable for Laser eye surgery, Optegra has other vision correction procedures that may help.

Contact us to discuss any issues and find out if you are suitable for laser eye surgery.
