What is LASIK Laser Eye Surgery?
LASIK is a quick, precise laser treatment designed to correct vision problems such as short-sight, long-sight, and astigmatism. The procedure reshapes the front surface of the eye (the cornea) so that light focuses correctly on the retina, allowing you to see clearly without relying on glasses or contact lenses.
At Centre for Sight, LASIK is performed using advanced femtosecond laser technology to create a thin flap in the cornea, followed by an excimer laser to gently reshape the tissue underneath. The flap is then repositioned, healing naturally without stitches.
The procedure is comfortable, takes only a few minutes per eye, and most people notice a dramatic improvement in vision within 24 hours.
Types of Laser Eye Surgery
At Centre for Sight, your surgeon will recommend the most appropriate laser eye surgery technique based on detailed diagnostics and your individual vision goals.
1
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis)
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 / PRK (Surface Laser Treatment)
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 (for Reading Vision / Presbyopia)
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.

FAQs
Below are answers to some of the most common questions patients ask when considering LASIK laser eye surgery.
How long do the results of LASIK last?
LASIK permanently reshapes the cornea, so the correction itself is long-lasting. Most patients enjoy stable vision for many years. However, natural age-related changes, such as presbyopia, can still occur later in life and may require reading glasses or alternative treatments.
Is LASIK painful?
LASIK is generally very comfortable. Anaesthetic eye drops are used during the procedure, so you shouldn’t feel pain. Some mild irritation or dryness is normal for a short time afterwards, but this usually settles within days.
How quickly can I return to work or daily activities?
Many patients return to desk-based work within 24–48 hours. Vision often improves rapidly, though you’ll be advised to avoid swimming, eye makeup, and contact sports for a short period while the eyes heal.
Can LASIK be repeated or enhanced if my vision changes?
In some cases, an enhancement procedure may be recommended if vision changes over time or if the initial correction needs fine-tuning. Suitability depends on corneal health and thickness, which your surgeon will assess during follow-up.
Will LASIK correct night-time vision issues like glare or halos?
Modern LASIK technology significantly reduces the risk of glare and halos, especially with customised treatments. Some patients notice mild night-time visual effects early on, but these usually improve as the eyes heal and adapt.
Is LASIK safe long-term?
LASIK has been performed worldwide for decades and has an excellent safety record when patients are properly assessed and treated by experienced surgeons. A detailed consultation is essential to ensure LASIK is the right option for your eyes and lifestyle.

Patient Success Stories
Such great care and service here. I had a household accident last week and came to get my eye looked at, which they went out of their way to accomodate on the same morning of ringing. The team is amazing, the admin, nurses, and consultant were really kind and caring. The follow up care has also been great with calls after a week to check how I’m getting on. Everyone has been so warm and friendly, a huge heartfelt thank you!

The best decision ever! My eye treatment at Centre for Sight has changed my life and enhanced my confidence. Having trifocal lenses implanted by Mr Sheraz Daya has restored my eyesight and I no longer need to use any lenses for reading, driving or any other activities.
From my first encounter with Mr Daya and his team at Centre for Sight, I felt most reassured that I was getting a very professional opinion and treatment. The day of the procedure was made much easier by the comforting support provided to me by Dr Espinosa whilst Mr Daya was performing my eye surgery. Overall, a fantastic experience and a great result.

Really proffesional
The professionalism I experienced right the way through the process was just brilliant. With all the testing prior to surgery, I felt very sure that I was doing the right thing. Saj Khan was not only very proffesional, he was also quite funny, which put you at ease.

A heartfelt thank you also to his team: Adora and Teresa, who have supported me from my very first appointment and always make me feel welcome, and Katie, Debra and Alex at Grinstead, who cared for me during surgery and helped me through one of the most anxious times of my life.
I cannot recommend Dr Daya and his team enough. For anyone who is unsure or afraid of taking this step — please know this really can change your life.
