What is LASEK / PRK?
LASEK and PRK are advanced laser treatments that gently reshape the surface of the cornea (rather than creating a flap) to correct vision problems such as short-sight (myopia), long-sight (hyperopia) and astigmatism. By adjusting how light enters the eye and focuses on the retina, these procedures allow you to achieve clearer, sharper vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses. At Centre for Sight we offer these surface treatments particularly for patients with thinner or irregular corneas or specific lifestyle requirements.
Types of Laser Eye Surgery
Laser eye surgery includes several proven techniques, each designed to correct vision in different ways depending on your eyes, prescription and lifestyle.
1
LASIK is the most commonly performed type of laser eye surgery. It uses two advanced lasers, one to create a precise, ultra-thin layer on the surface of the cornea, and another to gently reshape the tissue underneath to correct vision. The treatment is quick, comfortable, and highly accurate, with most patients experiencing clear vision within 24 hours.
2
LASEK and PRK are surface laser techniques where the outer layer of the cornea is carefully moved aside so the laser can reshape the surface underneath. These methods are often recommended for people with thinner or irregular corneas, or for those involved in contact sports or high-impact activities. Recovery takes a little longer than LASIK, but visual results are equally good once the eye has healed.
3
Supracor LASIK is a customised laser treatment designed to correct both distance and near vision, reducing the need for reading glasses. It reshapes the cornea with a unique profile that provides a wider range of focus. This option is often ideal for people aged 40 and above who want greater visual freedom without relying on bifocals or varifocals.

Who is suitable for LASEK / PRK?
Suitability for PRK or LASEK depends on the unique shape, thickness and health of your eyes, as well as your lifestyle and visual needs.
To be considered suitable for LASEK / PRK (or any laser vision correction), patients generally need to meet certain criteria:
A stable prescription for at least 12 months
Healthy eyes free from untreated infection or significant dry eye
Sufficient corneal health and shape for safe treatment
Over 18 years of age (age suitability may vary based on individual factors)
Some patients may not be ideal candidates. For example, those with very thin or irregular corneas, certain medical conditions (such as autoimmune disorders), or who are pregnant or breastfeeding. A full consultation with Centre for Sight will assess all individual factors and determine the most appropriate treatment for your needs.

FAQs
We have answered some of the most frequently asked questions to help you better understand PRK and LASEK and what to expect from treatment.
When would you recommend LASEK / PRK instead of LASIK?
It’s typically recommended if you have a thinner or irregular cornea, a lifestyle that involves high-impact activities, or when dry eye risk is a concern. Recovery is slower compared to LASIK.
Are there 0% finance options?
Yes, interest-free credit plans of up to 24 months are available via our finance partner (subject to status and credit check).
How quickly can I be seen for laser eye surgery?
Can I get a discount on laser eye surgery?
In short, no. However, we do offer fixed, transparent pricing. There are no hidden fees or “time-limited discounts”. Instead, we provide interest-free finance to make treatment more accessible.
How do I find the best laser eye surgeon?
Choose a consultant ophthalmic surgeon with recognised credentials, experience in refractive surgery, audited outcomes and strong patient reviews. Centre for Sight’s team meets these standards.

I am free of glasses!!!!!! Thanks to Dr Daya & his Team. I feel great following PRK surgery. The whole procedure was seamless & quick. I was in a lot of discomfort after the procure for a few days (which is fairly normal). The aftercare was spectacular, fast and well put together!

My experience was great. Dr Daya is very talented and experienced eye surgeon. After LASIK I can see better then I saw when I was in glasses ( I was wearing contact lenses and glasses from the age of 10) Almost a year later everyday I wake up and think how amazingly my life has changed for the best – now I can see!
My life has definitely transformed. Thank you.

Absolutely life changing! I was only 20 when I got this done but having had a stable prescription I knew the time was right. Everyone is so welcoming from the moment you step in. I had a few options but Mr Daya directed me in the right way on which procedure suited me. Me being me I was nervous and they reassured me by giving me a lady’s number who had had the same procedure so I got to have a chat with her about all my worry’s. On the day it’s so straight forward and quick and within hours I could see better. Fast forward over a year I have better than 20:20 vision after previously being -8 my whole life, it is hands down the best thing I have ever done I wouldn’t second think getting it done, thank you so so much.
