LASIK Eye Surgery

Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) uses a laser to reshape the cornea and permanently correct refractive errors including myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, reducing or eliminating dependence on glasses or contact lenses.

LASIK Eye Surgery is recommended for patients with specific symptoms, abnormal test results, or as part of a planned treatment pathway. Your Ophthalmology specialist will evaluate your suitability.

LASIK Eye Surgery is typically performed with Topical eye drops. The anaesthesia team will review your health history and allergies before the procedure.

The typical duration is noted in the quick stats above. This may vary depending on complexity and individual patient factors.

Risks include minor discomfort, bruising, rare infection, and in some cases incomplete results requiring repeat testing. Serious complications are uncommon but are discussed at consent.

LASIK Eye Surgery has a documented success rate of 95% at accredited centres. Individual outcomes depend on the underlying condition, patient health, and care team expertise.
