Laser Vision Correction, or Laser Eye Surgery as it sometimes is referred to, is the most commonly performed elective procedure in the world today. In the simplest of terms, Laser Vision Correction uses a laser to reshape the cornea of the eye to change its focusing power to improve your sight.

It is a surgical procedure that treats refractive errors by using a cool beam of light from a laser so that it can give you freedom from glasses and contact lenses and helps you to see more naturally.

Optegra provides the following kinds of laser vision procedures:

> LASEK Laser Vision Correction

which is generally recommended for people with smaller prescriptions, or for those with thinner corneas

> LASIK Laser Vision Correction

or Laser Refractive Eye Surgery, which is used to correct myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism

How will I know which one is right for me?

At Optegra your treatment will only be undertaken following a free, no obligation pre-operative evaluation by one of our experienced ophthalmic surgeons. From this we can determine if Laser Vision Correction is suitable for you and, if so, which Laser Eye Surgery procedure is most appropriate.

We believe that eye consultant led care is crucial to obtain the best clinical outcome. Optegra is one of the few hospitals which insist on patients being pre-assessed and followed-up by the same consultant surgeon who performs their surgery. This gives you the opportunity to fully understand your procedure and have complete trust in the outcome.

We treat our patients as individuals and offer personalised patient care and we spend time to get to know you – you’re never just “another pair of eyes”.
