[H2] Is There More Than One Type Of Laser Eye Surgery?
Yes, the two best-known and most popular types of laser eye surgery are LASIK and LASEK (also referred to as PRK). Both types can be enhanced by iDesign, a highly advanced innovation which takes over 1,200 measurements from your eye to create a personalised ‘map’. This allows your treatment to be tailored specifically to you and is 25 times more accurate than contact lenses or glasses.

[H4] LASIK

LASIK is our most popular type of laser eye surgery and offers benefits including a fast recovery and excellent visual outcomes.

Learn More

[H4] LASEK

LASEK is an alternative treatment to LASIK and is effective for some of those patients who aren't suitable for LASIK surgery.

[H4] iDesign

[H2] How Is Laser Eye Surgery Performed?

We use technologically-advanced lasers to subtly reshape your cornea, transforming your vision and giving you the joy of clearer and sharper sight.

[H3] Step 1

The procedure begins with anaesthetic eye drops being applied, which quickly numbs the eye.

[H3] Step 2

The laser works in a matter of seconds, sending pulses of laser beams onto your cornea to reshape any imperfections.

[H3] Step 3

Most patients experience improved vision within a few days, though full recovery can take up to a week.

[H2] World Class Technology

Our expert surgeons use the same technology that led NASA to approve laser eye surgery for its astronauts. More than £500 million has been invested in state-of-the-art clinics and technologies. We use advanced femtosecond and excimer lasers, which are incredibly precise and accurate, so that we can provide our patients with their very best results.

[H2] What Types Of Lens Surgery Are There?
There are two different types of lens surgery and the procedure that we will recommend depends upon your specific needs. The first lens replacement surgery is also known as refractive lens exchange (RLE), and the second is Phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) surgery.
At Optical Express, we offer a variety of premium lenses, so that we can provide the best solution for each patient’s individual visual requirements.

[H4] Refractive Lens Exchange

The refractive lens exchange (RLE) procedure replaces the natural lens with a premium synthetic intraocular lens (IOL).

[H4] Phakic IOL

Phakic IOL is an excellent alternative to laser eye surgery for patients with strong prescriptions.

[H4] YAG Laser Treatment

[H2] How Is Lens Eye Surgery Performed?

In lens replacement surgery, or refractive lens exchange, the lens of your eye will be replaced with a synthetic one, making your vision clearer and brighter. This premium lens can help to correct long sightedness, short sightedness and reading vision. It's a simple procedure with a high success rate.

[H3] Step 1

Our treatment support optometrist will record your vision with and without spectacles and perform an assessment of your eye health. Eye drops will be administered, so that your eye is comfortable during surgery.

[H3] Step 2

Your surgeon will gently create a small opening on the surface of your eye to get access to your natural lens. The contents of the natural lens bag are carefully removed before the premium synthetic lens is put in place.

[H3] Step 3

Immediately after your treatment is performed, you will be unable to drive. Ensure you arrange transport home beforehand. You should go home to rest after your treatment, returning for treatment in your second eye if required.

[H2] World Class Technology

Our expert Surgeons use the same technology that led NASA to approve laser eye surgery for its astronauts. More than £500 million has been invested in state-of-the-art clinics and technologies.
