Laser Eye Surgery

The surgery is intended to reduce a person's dependency on glasses or contact lenses.
Doctors use a laser to permanently change the shape of the cornea, the clear covering over the coloured iris, and the lens, which is just behind the pupil of the eye.

What does the surgery entail?

The surgery is done as an out-patient procedure and takes about an hour.
Local anaesthetic drops are placed in the eye being treated.
A knife is used to cut a flap in the cornea.
A hinge is left at one end of this flap.
The flap is folded back to reveal the middle part of the cornea. Pulses from a laser vaporise a portion of this and the flap is replaced.
An eye patch is usually worn over the treated eye for 24 hours.
