LASIK Eye Surgery
LASIK Vision Surgery
LASIK (Laser-Assited in Situ Keratomileusis) surgery has revolutionized the field of vision correction, offering a safe and effective solution for individuals with stable vision prescriptions and adequate corneal thickness. This advanced procedure utilizes a precise laser to reshape the cornea, correcting refractive errors and providing clearer vision without the need for eyeglasses or contact lenses.
Key Benefits of LASIK Treatment
Suitable for individuals with stable vision prescriptions and sufficient corneal thickness for flap creation. Generally preferred for moderate to high levels of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
The Lasik procedure requires the creation of a flap on the cornea’s surface; laser is then used to reshape the cornea and the flap is then repositioned. The healing process is quick and results are very accurate.
We’ve performed hundreds of thousands LASIK procedures since 1999.

LASIK vs LASEK
LASIK SURGERY
LASEK SURGERY
LASIK and LASEK are both advanced surgical procedures designed to correct refractive errors and improve vision clarity, but they differ in their approach and suitability for certain individuals.
How are the procedures performed and what type of patients are they suitable for?
- LASIK involves creating a flap on the corneal surface before reshaping the underlying tissue with a laser, making it ideal for individuals with stable vision prescriptions and sufficient corneal thickness.
- On the other hand, LASEK is a flapless procedure that gently loosens the outermost layer of the cornea (epithelium) before reshaping the underlying tissue, making it suitable for those with thinner corneas or specific corneal irregularities.
What results are achieved?
- LASIK offers rapid visual recovery and is well-suited for individuals with moderate to high levels of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
- LASEK boasts a higher safety profile and is preferred for patients with unique corneal characteristics.
Ultimately, the choice between LASIK and LASEK depends on individual factors such as corneal thickness, refractive error, and personal preferences, and should be discussed with a qualified ophthalmologist to determine the most suitable option for vision correction.
Before undergoing LASIK, a comprehensive eye examination is conducted to assess your eligibility for the procedure.
During the free consultation at your local Optimax clinic, detailed measurements of the cornea are taken using advanced imaging technology to create a precise map of its surface.
Once our medical team has assessed your suitability for treatment, you will be booked in for treatment.
Is LASIK Surgery right for me?
Our LASIK eye surgery procedure can be used to correct a number of issues, so if you rely on glasses or contact lenses in order to see clearly, you could be eligible for treatment. Patients tend to be more suitable for laser eye treatment if they are under 45, but please note that you must be at least 18 years of age to be classed as eligible.

While LASIK offers remarkable benefits, not everyone is an ideal candidate for the procedure. Some of the prerequisites include:
- Stable Vision: Candidates must have stable vision for at least one year before undergoing LASIK.
- Healthy Eyes: Individuals with certain eye conditions such as severe dry eye syndrome, glaucoma, or cataracts may not be suitable candidates.
- Realistic Expectations: Candidates should have realistic expectations regarding the outcomes of LASIK.
- Age and Prescription: Candidates must be at least 18 years old and have a stable prescription within the acceptable range for LASIK.
LASIK offers significant improvements in vision: 99% of patients achieve 20/20 vision or better, reducing or eliminating need for glasses or contact lenses and enhancing their overall quality of life.
LASIK boasts a relatively quick recovery period, allowing patients to resume normal activities within a few days of the procedure.
The effects of LASIK are generally permanent, providing lasting vision correction for many years.
