Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Will I be able to dispense with the use of my glasses or contact lenses ?
A. One year after treatment over 95% of people, with low to moderate prescriptions, are able to pass a driver's licence vision test without corrective lenses.

Q. Is laser vision correction permanent ?
A. Yes. Follow-up studies conducted over ten years indicate that, after the healing process is complete your eyesight remains stable. However, laser vision correction cannot prevent the natural changes that occur with ageing and as with all normal-sighted people, you may require reading glasses at some time.

Q. Will my eye look different ?
A. No, only your eye doctor will be able to tell, and then, only by looking at your eye through a high power microscope.

Q. When can I resume normal activities ?
A. Most normal activities may be resumed after a few days. Your Consultant will discuss this with you the day after your treatment.
