Laser eye surgery explained

Here we explain what you need to know about laser vision correction

Laser eye surgery suitability criteria

If you want to become independent from glasses or contact lenses, and your eyes are healthy, laser eye surgery is for you.

We use laser eye surgery to reshape the cornea at the front of the eye, altering the focus.

The algorithm in the software precisely predicts the new focus.

With laser eye surgery, we can help you achieve the vision you were always supposed to have.

Research shows that this procedure is safer than wearing soft contact lenses.

Sometimes the eye heals in an unexpected way, and the desired focus is not achieved.

Very rarely a severe complication can happen, and the vision can be permanently damaged. This scenario is rarer with this treatment than with soft contact lens wear.

While most people are suitable for laser correction, we may decide that another alternative may be more appropriate in a special case.

Sometimes it’s better to have a special contact lens put inside your eye or to replace the natural lens with an artificial one to achieve normal vision.

Almost all of our patients achieve normal vision and are free to live independent of glasses and contact lenses.

Have been dreaming about laser eye surgery since I was 15. Can’t believe that my eyes can actually see right now without contacts, wow! Will recommend My-iClinic to all of my friends. Mr Bolger is the best.

Toun Ladega

Brilliant experience with My-iClinic for laser eye surgery. The team are clearly experts in the area, and I felt well looked after through the entire process. Honest, friendly and professional, I thoroughly recommend My-iClinic for anyone considering laser corrective surgery.

Ms Priti Patel

I had a really satisfactory experience with my-iClinic and am quite happy with the results of the surgery and the aftercare. I would like to recommend it to anyone who wants to have any kind of eye surgery with them. Absolutely brilliant.?

Lex Bhagad

I was struggling with a viral conjunctivitis. After 2 visits to Moorfields and the condition getting worse, I was recommended to My-iClinic. I felt instantly looked after, and was seen almost daily due to the severity of the virus. It has now been 4 weeks and I am well on the mend thanks to the care and patience of Mr Bolger. I also found the pricing of this practice extremely reasonable unlike most of private practice medicine.

Beverly Herman

I’d highly recommend this clinic because of its nice, friendly and experienced team; they all are very professional in every aspect, you would get the best advise here! Also, the clinic looks very modern from the inside and you will just feel very comfortable and relaxed throughout the whole process in a place like this.
