BENEFITS OF LASER EYE SURGERY

Laser eye surgery, also known as refractive surgery, offers numerous benefits for individuals with vision problems

  • It commonly corrects short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hypermetropia), astigmatism and reading vision problems (presbyopia).
  • Different laser eye surgery techniques are used to correct each condition.
  • These corrections are achieved through the use of a laser which reshapes the cornea (the transparent part) and adjusts the focus of the eye.
  • Laser eye surgery at our London and Hertfordshire clinics is a brief procedure and is entirely painless due to the application of anaesthetic drops.

Laser eye surgery FAQ's

Is laser eye surgery painful?

Laser eye surgery is generally not considered painful. During the procedure, you are given numbing eye drops to ensure comfort, and most report feeling only mild pressure rather than pain. The entire surgery typically takes just a few minutes per eye, and discomfort is minimal. Post-surgery, some people may experience mild irritation or a gritty sensation in their eyes for a few hours to a couple of days, but this is manageable with eye drops that we give you to take away.

How long is the recovery from laser vision correction?

Most people experience a dramatic change within 24 hours post-surgery. This rapid recovery allows you to return to your normal daily activities with minimal downtime. The results are long-lasting, normally providing clear vision for many years, and in many cases, for a lifetime.

Who is suitable for laser eye surgery?

People considering laser eye surgery should be at least 18 years old with stable vision and good overall eye health.

Your prescription should be stable, ideally unchanged within the last two years, to ensure that the surgery will be effective. Laser eye surgery is most straightforward in people with a prescription range between -10D and +7.25D.

The procedure is effective for correcting myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia (reading vision problems), your comprehensive initial consultation with OCL Vision will determine your suitability for eye laser surgery.

Pregnant or nursing women should postpone the consultation for 3 months as hormonal changes during pregnancy can lead to fluctuations in vision, making it difficult to determine the correct prescription for laser eye surgery. These changes can also affect the cornea's shape and thickness, potentially altering the surgery's effectiveness and the stability of the results.

How long does laser eye surgery last?

Laser eye surgery provides permanent changes to your cornea, but your vision may still change over time due to natural ageing processes, like developing presbyopia. For most people, the results of laser eye surgery remain satisfactory for at least 10+ years. However, some individuals may require a retreatment after this period if their eye condition progresses.

Can I have laser eye surgery if I have dry eyes?

Having dry eyes doesn't necessarily disqualify you from laser eye surgery, but it's an important factor to consider. Your eye surgeon will assess the severity of your dry eye condition during your consultation. In some cases, they may recommend treating the dry eye symptoms before proceeding with laser surgery. It's crucial to discuss this with your surgeon to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

Is it safe to have laser eye surgery during pregnancy?

It is generally not recommended to have laser eye surgery whilst pregnant or breastfeeding. Hormonal changes during pregnancy can affect your vision and the shape of your cornea, potentially leading to inaccurate surgical results. Additionally, some medications used during and after the procedure may not be safe for pregnant women. It's best to wait until after pregnancy and breastfeeding to consider laser eye surgery.
