Why have Laser Eye Surgery?
Laser Vision Correction involves shining a gentle laser on the cornea so that its shape is changed and it does a better job of reflecting images on to the retina which determines how clearly we see things. Laser Eye Surgery is performed hundreds of thousands of times a year and it is so popular because of the benefits outlined below: -
Never wear glasses or contacts again
Laser eye surgery manipulates your cornea so that you can see things clearly and don’t need to wear glasses or contacts which can be a nuisance in everyday life especially if you play sports or swim. It is medically proven that the majority of patients end up with 20/20 vision after undergoing the procedure so achieving the desired result is highly likely.
Laser Eye Surgery is safe
Laser Eye Surgery is a safe procedure that is approved by the UK’s General Medical Council as well as other international authorities. The surgeon uses a non thermal laser which can be switched on and off at anytime and the procedure includes many other safeguards.
Any medical procedure carries risks but there are no known cases of people going blind as a result of Laser Eye Surgery.
It is relatively cheap
Just think how much money you would spend on contacts and changing glasses in your life time. If you are 30 years old and use contacts until the age of 80 it would have cost you £20,000+.
If you compare this to the cost of Laser Eye Surgery and ignore all the other benefits it makes sense on a pure value for money basis. Many surgeries provide 0% finance or flexible payment options to make the upfront cost less of a burden.
There are few side effects
Few people develop side effects from Laser Eye Surgery. Of the few that do the most common problems such as glare and halos affect night time vision.

The procedure is very quick and so is the recovery time
Laser Eye Surgery takes a matter of minutes and your total time at the clinic during the treatment is typically no more than an hour with most patients returning to work the following day.
You need to be careful for the first few days and stay away from vigorous sports but you are largely free to get on with your day to day life straight away. You can’t drive immediately after the treatment and most clinics recommend that you avoid driving for about a week.
