Why Choose LASIK?
LASIK is a well-established procedure for correcting a range of visual impairments. LASIK eye surgery has helped patients with Myopia (shortsighted), Hyperopia (long-sighted) and Astigmatism achieve an excellent vision that stabilises in as little as 24 hours. By correcting your vision, you are also choosing a sustainable lifestyle that will benefit the planet.

Those who have myopia will experience frequent changes in vision in their teenage years, so anyone considering LASIK eye surgery should be over 18. For those who have presbyopia, – the need for reading glasses) – Presbyond – a modification of LASIK – is the preferred option for achieving your desired results.
There are also a number of circumstances and conditions that may cause your vision to fluctuate, including pregnancy, breastfeeding and steroid drug use. You should wait until these symptoms have subsided before enquiring about LASIK.

What do our Laser patients say?
We are proud to make a meaningful difference to our patients lives
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.
Really pleased with the outcome of my lens replacement in one eye and laser surgery in other eye, carried out by Dr John Bolger and his colleagues. Wonderful not to have to rely on glasses all the time, just for small print. I was nervous before attending the clinic, but felt reassured and confident in their ability to improve my vision and reduce my need for glasses all the time. The testing, surgery and after care were first class, all carried out in a caring and professional manner and I would not hesitate to recommend this clinic.
I had laser eye surgery done at My-iClinic and couldn’t be more pleased with the result- I can see perfectly now! The team is truly amazing; so welcoming and made me feel very confident during the process. The clinic is so nice it feels like home and I would highly recommend My-iClinic
I was recommended to My-iClinic by a consultant ophthalmic surgeon……he said it was the only place to go for laser vision correction………and I think he was absolutely right! John Bolger and his team are all, without exception, a pleasure to deal with and they are all professional, informative and assuring. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them……the aftercare is outstanding too……and even better….I can see!!
Have been dreaming about laser eye surgery since I was 15. Can’t believe that my eyes can actually see right now without contacts, woow. Will recommend your clinic to all of my friends. Mr. Bolger is the best.

Preparing for LASIK
You will initially receive an eye exam from a My iClinic LASIK surgeon to assess whether your condition would be suitable for this treatment. This is to ensure that you won’t be at risk of unusually dry eyes following the procedure.
During this process, your LASIK surgeon will point map and perform a number of tests on your cornea in order to determine the best possible outcome LASIK can give you. Prior to your appointment, we will advise that you do not wear contact lenses for two weeks. This is to ensure the cornea of your eye is ready for measurements to be taken.
What happens during LASIK eye surgery?
LASIK surgery will be performed with care and precision by our experienced optometrists. First, you will be given numbing eye drops that will eliminate any discomfort during LASIK eye surgery.
The procedure itself is easy and efficient. We use two lasers: one laser creates a protective flap on your eye. Our second laser then reshapes your eye to correct your prescription and the flap is then replaced. Following this, your eye will heal naturally over the following hours and days, and the majority of patients report their vision improves within 24 hours.
What should I expect after LASIK eye surgery?
Immediately after the LASIK surgery, you may experience a temporary itching or burning sensation – this should subside relatively quickly.
You will also need to arrange a lift home once the session is complete, as you will not be able to drive yourself until signed off by the LASIK surgeon. Working the following day is possible, but you may feel the most benefit for having taken a few days rest.
