‘Laser vision correction’ and ‘laser vision treatment’ are two terms often used to describe what is more commenly known as ‘laser eye surgery.’  This is an incredible development in eye treatment and is becoming more and more popular.  Laser vision correction has proven to be life changing for millions of people but it may not be right for you.

What is Laser Vision Correction?

Laser vision correction is exactly what it says on the tin. A laser is used in a minor surgical procedure to correct the vision in the eye. 

There are various types of laser vision correction procedures and one procedure may be more suitable for you than another.  Your specific conditions will determine the type of laser eye surgery you could benefit from the most.  After the initial assessments, the eye surgeon will explain which options are possible and most suited to your individual circumstances.  The most popular type of laser eye surgery is LASIK, which is still used in over half of all laser eye surgery procedures.

The latest laser vision correction surgery options such as Wavefront LASIK and IntraLase, have improved results and increased the number of people benefiting from vision correction surgery.  The older techniques are performed less frequently but still may be a more viable solution for some people.
