Laser Eye Surgery Step by Step

Send to a friend

Educational Laser Vision CorrectionThe benefits of Laser Eye Surgery are understood by most people who experience the inconvenience of wearing glasses or contact lenses.  But many questions remain unanswered.

We use our eyes in almost everything we do whether working, watching television, playing sport, reading or driving our cars.

So it is only natural that as with most people you feel that your eyes are your most precious sense. And Laser Eye Surgery involving your eyes, no matter how beneficial, is not a decision that you will take lightly. We understand, and genuinely appreciate your feelings.

Laser eye surgery can seem daunting – until you actually know what’s involved. Naturally, the journey is different for every patient,  but in most cases the fundamental process for all laser eye surgery treatments is the same.

This section sets out the 5 basic steps which explain not only how easy laser eye surgery can be, but also offer an insight into the extraordinary level of care we take at each stage. At our initial rigorous screening process we examine your eyes in detail before laser eye surgery as not all eyes are suitable for laser eye surgery. Our individual tailored approach to Customised treatments will address your individual needs as every eye is unique. We offer the ultimate level of aftercare.
 

Step 1: Contact us – the first step towards visual freedom

If you are considering Laser Eye Surgery, just call the experts on 1800 DR EYES (1800 37 3937) to speak with one of our Patient Education Counsellors. There is no obligation, but we are happy to help you with any questions or discuss your concerns. You’re not committed to anything, even if you book an initial

Step 2: You come for a comprehensive Eye assessment

First, we need to make sure you’re suitable for Laser Eye Surgery. Your initial screening for Laser Eye Surgery at Medownick Laser Clinic is complimentary. We’re confident it will be, most likely, the most comprehensive eye exam you have ever had. Knowing your eyes in fine detail means lower risks, less side effects and better results of Laser Eye Surgery. So we never rush the Screening Process for Laser Eye Surgery. You’ll need to set aside at least two hours for the appointment.

Step 3: The Big Day! Your Laser Eye Surgery!

You’re bound to feel a little anxious. Don’t worry: by this stage we know your eyes in incredible detail, which is the key to successful Laser Eye Surgery. Nevertheless, the first thing we will do is a final examination, to double-check and repeat previous measurements. We will give you a mild oral sedative to help you relax.  You will then be accompanied to the Laser Vision Room – and a changed life.

Dr Medownick will talk you through every stage of your Laser Eye Surgery Procedure. There’s no pain at all during your Laser Eye Surgery, although at times you may feel gentle pressure on your eye, which can be slightly uncomfortable for a matter of seconds.  All you do is look straight into a flashing green light of our Excimer Laser.

Don’t worry about blinking during your Laser Eye Surgery. The laser tracks your eye many hundreds of times a second.There is virtually nothing you could do with your eyes during your Laser Eye Surgery to compromise your laser eye surgery, or put you at risk.

Step 4: Laser Eye Surgery Aftercare

You’ll probably notice a big change as soon as you sit up. Your vision will be foggy, as if you’re looking through a pale mist. But objects and people will already seem more in focus. For many patients, this can be quite overwhelming. We will help ensure a safe and successful recovery with comprehensive, detailed aftercare.

Step 5: Years of natural vision

When your vision is restored with Laser Eye Surgery, you’ll notice all sorts of things that make your everyday life better.  It is a delight to see naturally from the moment you wake up. You can watch football without your spectacles getting in the way and to play anActivePersonOnAWaveNewwith your children, without worrying about your glasses. You can go swimming without worrying that your contact lenses will wash out.

And if at any time you want to visit us to check your progress, even years down the road, we’ll welcome you.

Shining stars of the red carpet and sports arenas are having Laser Eye Surgery to see clearly. Stars like Tiger Woods, Brad Pitt, Elton John, Nicole Kidman, Ashlee Simpson, Cindy Crawford, Footy great Brett Ratten and other celebrities – all had Laser Eye Surgery because they could not see clearly without glasses. After all, why not have natural vision? Not only is it popular, but incredibly practical and affordable.
