Glaucoma Treatment
Monitoring and management for glaucoma and ocular hypertension, with imaging and fields repeated on a set schedule.
LASIK Surgery
A laser vision correction assessment that starts with whether the procedure is right for you at all.
Laser vision correction reshapes the cornea so that light focuses correctly without glasses or contact lenses. The part of the process that matters most happens before any laser is involved: establishing whether the procedure is a good idea for your eyes.
The suitability assessment
- Corneal topography and tomography — the shape and thickness of the cornea
- Refraction, with and without drops — the true prescription
- Tear film assessment — dry eye affects both comfort and the result
- Pupil measurement in dim light
- Prescription history — has it been stable?
We ask for previous prescriptions because stability is the single most useful predictor of a durable result. If yours has moved recently, the honest advice is usually to wait.
What happens if you are suitable
The surgeon explains the procedure, the recovery and the risks, and you take that information home. Nobody is asked to decide on the day. If you go ahead, the treatment itself takes minutes per eye, and you will be seen the following day and again at intervals afterwards.
What happens if you are not
You will be told why, in terms of the measurements rather than in generalities, and the alternatives will be set out. Continuing in glasses or contact lenses is a perfectly good outcome, and there are surgical options other than LASIK that suit corneas LASIK does not.
Frequently asked
A suitability assessment measures corneal thickness and shape, pupil size, tear film quality and the stability of your prescription. Some people are not suitable, and we would rather tell you that at the assessment than later.
Yes. A prescription that is still changing will keep changing after treatment. The surgeon will want to see that yours has held steady, usually over at least a year, and will ask for previous prescriptions if you have them.
Corneal topography and tomography, a dry eye assessment, a full refraction including one with drops, and a conversation about what you want from the result. Allow about ninety minutes.
Often, yes. Surface treatments, implantable lenses and simply staying in glasses or contact lenses are all reasonable outcomes of an assessment, and the surgeon will explain the trade-offs of each.
Every surgical procedure carries risk, and the consent conversation covers them specifically for your eyes and your prescription. It is a long conversation by design, and you take the information away before deciding.
