Are You Considering LASIK Eye Surgery?
If you’re considering laser eye surgery in Perth, you may have heard of the term ‘LASIK’. LASIK stands for Laser Insitu Keratomileusis, which is a common type of refractive surgery or laser eye surgery aimed to correct refractive errors.
A refractive error is where the eye fails to bend light effectively, resulting in blurred vision and other eye related issues including short sightedness, long sightedness, age-related loss of near vision and astigmatism.
Through LASIK eye surgery, we can help you achieve improved vision without glasses or contact lenses. Take our Suitability Test to find out if you’re eligible for LASIK. If you have any further questions, contact us today on (08) 9330 8463.
What is LASIK Eye Surgery?
In simple terms, our LASIK surgery in Perth removes tissue from under a flap in the cornea to change its curvature and ultimately the focus of the eye. Unlike mechanical instruments, laser technology can program the dimensions of your corneal flap to suit your eye. The Femtosecond laser creates the flap from beneath the cornea surface without cutting it.
What are the Benefits of Undergoing LASIK?
There are many advantages of choosing to undergo LASIK eye surgery including:
- No scarring
- 100% blade free procedure
- Fast visual recovery period
- Can treat both eyes at the same time
- Improved and enhanced vision without glasses or lenses
At WA Laser Eye Centre, we’re equipped with the latest and most advanced technology to safely perform LASIK eye surgery in Perth.
Are There Any Risks with LASIK?
Like many other surgical procedures, there are some associated risks and side effects with the LASIK eye surgery we offer at our Perth clinic. Some complications that may arise include dry eyes, flap slippage, and haloes and night glare. However, complications are rare with our patients due to our experience, technology used and processes.
LASIK is not a suitable treatment method for some conditions, including cataracts and presbyopia. Instead, we recommend different laser eye surgery options for treating presbyopia: PresbyMAX or PRESBYOND.
Please speak to our staff or principal surgeon Dr Robert Paul about any concerns you may have.
