Am I suitable for Laser Eye Surgery?
Find out what vision correction option may be safest for you, by answering 8 quick questions (no need to leave your details)
What is the difference between our laser vision correction options?
Enjoy fast results and a short recovery. Most people return to normal activities the very next day, glasses-free. LASIK is a popular laser vision correction option for suitable patients with stable vision and healthy corneas.
LASIK is designed for fast visual recovery. Many suitable patients notice clearer vision within 24 hours and can return to work, driving and normal daily activities quickly after their surgeon confirms it is safe.
Because the treatment is performed with advanced laser technology and customised planning, LASIK can correct short-sightedness, long-sightedness and astigmatism with a high level of precision.
LASIK is often chosen by people who want freedom from glasses or contact lenses for sport, travel, work and everyday life.
LASIK is not suitable for everyone. Patients with thin corneas, unstable prescriptions, significant dry eye, irregular corneal shape or certain eye conditions may be better suited to PRK, ICL or another vision correction option.
Some people experience temporary dryness, glare, halos or fluctuating vision during recovery. These symptoms usually improve, but they should be discussed during the consultation.
LASIK corrects your current prescription but does not stop the natural ageing of the eye. Reading glasses may still be needed later in life as presbyopia develops.
A detailed pre-operative assessment is essential to decide whether LASIK is the safest and best option for your eyes.

PRK (photo-refractive keratectomy) is one of the most established forms of laser vision correction, with more than 30 years of clinical use. It is an excellent option when LASIK is not ideal because of corneal shape, thickness or lifestyle factors.
PRK is a proven form of laser eye surgery and may be recommended for patients who are not ideal LASIK candidates, including some people with thinner corneas or occupations and hobbies where avoiding a corneal flap is preferred.
PRK treats the surface of the cornea using an excimer laser to reshape the eye and reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
Although recovery is slower than LASIK, the long-term visual outcomes are matching those of LASIK.
PRK can be particularly useful for patients with an active lifestyle considerations such as those engaging in contact sports, police or military recruits and others where preserving corneal strength is important.ecovery of clear vision with premium lens technology
PRK has a slower recovery than LASIK. Vision can be blurry or variable for the first few days, and it may take couple of weeks for vision to stabilise fully.
There is usually more discomfort in the first few days after PRK compared with LASIK because the surface layer of the cornea needs to heal.
Patients need to use prescribed drops carefully and attend follow-up visits to monitor healing, comfort and visual recovery.
PRK may not be suitable for very high prescriptions, unstable prescriptions or certain corneal and ocular surface conditions.

Implantable Contact Lenses (ICLs) are ideal for people with a high prescription, thin or weaker corneas, or persistently dry eyes. ICL surgery corrects vision by placing a biocompatible lens inside the eye without removing corneal tissue.
ICL surgery can be an excellent option for patients with high prescriptions who may not be suitable for LASIK or PRK.
Unlike laser vision correction, ICL does not remove corneal tissue. A biocompatible implantable lens is placed inside the eye to correct focus while preserving the natural crystalline lens.
ICL may be suitable for people with thin corneas, dry eyes or prescriptions outside the ideal range for laser surgery.
The lens is designed to provide high-quality vision and can be removed or exchanged if clinically required, although the procedure should still be considered intraocular surgery with its own risks.
ICL is an intraocular procedure, so it carries different risks from LASIK or PRK, including pressure rise, cataract formation, halos and vault-related issues or the need for further surgery.
Not all eyes are suitable. Suitability depends on prescription, anterior chamber depth, eye health and detailed imaging measurements.
ICL does not prevent age-related vision changes such as presbyopia or cataract. Future reading vision changes should be discussed during consultation.
Because ICL involves a custom lens and theatre-based surgery, it is usually more expensive than laser vision correction.
