LASIK Laser Eye Surgery
LASIK surgery involves raising a corneal flap and then using excimer laser to precisely adjust the focusing power of the cornea to correct both long and short-sightedness. Discover the LASIK surgery cost, benefits and risks of this popular vision correction procedure.

Summary
While surface ablation is highly accurate in correcting low refractive errors, the results can be less predictable with the higher degrees of refractive error. In these patients LASIK is the preferred procedure. LASIK also accurately corrects low refractive errors.
The technique falls into two distinct steps: the creation of a corneal flap and the subsequent lasering of the corneal bed. Instead of lasering the surface layers, a superficial, thin, hinged flap of corneal tissue is made. This flap is then lifted and the laser is applied to the deeper corneal stromal bed before the flap is repositioned. The eye has a naturally occurring suction capacity, which holds the flap secure when the procedure is completed, therefore no sutures are necessary.
As with surface treatments, this is a painless procedure.

First class recommendation for My Eye Clinic and in particular Andrew Peel who was professional, knowledgeable very thorough. A pleasure to deal with!
So helpful and reassuring. My site is amazing. The whole process was so smooth, I understood everything that I was told and knew of any risks and potential side effects before agreeing to anything. Couldn't be happier.
I recently had permanent lens procedure carried out by Mr Ghosh. Having glasses as a child and contact lenses for many years, this has been an absolute revelation for me. Mr Ghosh was absolutely brilliant and very professional from the start. All the staff are lovely and especially like to thank Dianne, Anita and the team. This has changed my life for the better thanks.
Beautiful clinic, really nice atmosphere, prompt service and really friendly and professional staff. Fernando was particularly great!I would definitely recommend.
Excellent care, all staff very courteous and helpful. YAG surgery clearly explained to me by Mr Morgan, who did a brilliant job. I'd highly recommend this clinic.
I visited the My Hearing Clinic knowing I needed a hearing assessment but thinking it was just a build up of wax. It came as a shock that I heard a hearing loss which needed addressing. The service I received from Andrew was outstanding! He explained my hearing loss and went through all my options. He recognised that it was a lot of information to take in so made a follow up appointment, giving me sufficient time to think about what I wanted to do. From start to finish the service has been excellent, efficient, professional and friendly from the moment you walk through the door and meet Lee. The clinic is well located, parking on site, high standard of cleanliness. Definitely a recommendation from me. Thank you!
