What is Laser Eye Surgery?

Laser eye surgery reshapes the cornea using precise laser technology to help correct vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. By adjusting how light enters the eye, this procedure helps to improve focus on the retina, allowing you to experience clearer and sharper vision without relying on glasses or contacts. 

Different techniques (LASIK, LASEK/PRK, Supracor) suit different prescriptions and corneas.   

Types of Laser Eye Surgery

LASIK

Safest, precise vision-correction with longest track record; Centre for Sight has offered LASIK since 2004.   

LASEK / PRK

Surface procedure (no corneal flap); often recommended for thin/irregular corneas or certain lifestyles.   

Supracor LASIK (for reading/presbyopia)

Targets near, intermediate and distance vision to reduce dependence on reading glasses. 

Comparing Laser Eye Surgery Procedures

Please be aware that your consultant will recommend the most suitable vision correction procedure to suit your eyes and lifestyle.

Supracor LASIK LASIK profile tailored for presbyopia Age-related near-vision loss (reading glasses) Improves near/intermediate and distance Typically one eye treated; nuanced visual adaptation

FAQs

Am I suitable for LASIK?

Suitability depends on prescription stability, corneal thickness/shapeand eye health. A full consultation with scans confirms candidacy.  

When would you recommend LASEK/PRK instead of LASIK?

Often for thin or irregular corneas, certain high-impact activities, or when dry-eye risk is a concern. Recovery is slower than LASIK.  

Is laser eye surgery painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort, as numbing drops are used. Some report mild sensitivity post-surgery, which fades quickly.
