LASIK Vision Correction
LASIK (Laser Insitu Keratomileusis), is a highly successful and popular procedure for vision correction that has been available for over ten years. Millions of people worldwide have now had their vision corrected by LASER treatment.
As a natural part of aging, everyone will require glasses for close-up activities (presbyopia). Although this cannot be corrected by LASIK, those requiring distance vision correction may still benefit from the treatment.
Implantable contact lenses
This is used for people who are unsuitable for laser correction or have high prescriptions. This can treat shortsighted prescriptions up to -25.00D and longsighted prescriptions up to +10.00D. The lens works similarly to a contact lens. The difference is that the lens is placed inside your eye through a tiny opening at the top of the cornea, the lens is invisible. The only way that you, or anyone else will know that it is there, is the improvement in your eyesight. You can neither see nor feel the lens once it is inside your eye. The lens is meant to remain permanently in your eye. However it can be removed if necessary-which is again a big advantage to create change if necessary.
Clear Lens Extraction
This is for people aged 45 and above who are unsuitable for laser correction or who have high prescriptions. It can treat shortsighted prescriptions up to -25.00D and longsighted prescriptions up to +10.00D. Here the natural existing lens is removed and replaced with a replacement corrective lens that can not only correct your prescription but also has the option of providing a multifocal lens to give you both distance vision and near sight without the use of supplementary reading glasses.
