Laser and lens surgery for short sight, long sight, astigmatism and cataracts. Most patients drive themselves to their check-up the next morning.
Outside the lens: how −3.50 sees this view. Move to look around.
Which one suits you depends on your prescription, the shape of your cornea and your age. The scan tells us; this is roughly where each one fits.
A thin flap is lifted from the cornea, the laser reshapes the tissue underneath, and the flap settles back. The most-studied laser treatment there is, with the quickest visual recovery.
No flap. The laser shapes a tiny disc of tissue inside the cornea and removes it through a 2 mm opening. A good fit for contact sports and for people with drier eyes.
For prescriptions too strong or corneas too thin for laser. A soft lens sits behind the iris and in front of your natural lens. Nobody can see it, and it can be removed.
Past 50, the natural lens stiffens and reading glasses arrive. Replacing it with a multifocal lens corrects distance and reading together, and you will never develop a cataract.
A clouded lens is replaced with a clear one, and your prescription can be corrected at the same time. Most insurers cover it; we handle the paperwork with them.
Three questions, thirty seconds. It won’t replace the scan, but it tells you which conversation to expect.
Laser treatment takes a morning. Bring someone to drive you home, and plan a quiet evening with your eyes closed.
We map both corneas again so the laser works from this morning’s measurements, not last month’s.
Numbing drops, and your surgeon explains what you’ll see and hear. There are no injections.
About six minutes per eye. You look at a small green light while the laser works for under thirty seconds.
Vision is misty, like opening your eyes underwater. We check the flap or incision before you leave.
Eye shields, drops, and sleep. Most people nap the afternoon away.
Most patients meet the legal driving standard here and drive themselves in.
No hand-offs. You meet them before you decide, and they see you at every check-up afterwards.
Medical director. Corneal and refractive surgery, 14,200 procedures.
SMILE and ICL. Trained in Hamburg and London, 9,600 procedures.
Lens replacement and cataract, 11,300 procedures.
It includes the treatment, every check-up for twelve months, and re-treatment if you need it. The scan itself is free.
No. The drops numb the eye completely. You feel light pressure for a few seconds, and the evening after can feel gritty, like tired contact lenses.
Laser treatment is permanent, but eyes still age. Around 45 to 50 most people need reading glasses for small print, whether or not they had surgery.
About 3 in 100 patients do. Re-treatment within twelve months is included in your price.
Most people drive and work from the next day after LASIK. Gym after a week, swimming and contact sports after a month.
Yes, for laser treatments and ICL. Lens replacement and cataract surgery are done one eye at a time, about a week apart.
Ninety minutes, both eyes mapped, and a straight answer about what you’re suitable for. Leave your contact lenses out for a week before.
