With the rapid advancement of laser technology The Harley Street Eye Centre is using one of the most up to date lasers available for LASIK operations, with 6D eye movement tracking to improve the safety of the procedure and in addition to conventional techniques we employ new products such as the non-touch TRANS EPI-PRK mechanism.

This allows us to not just improve your vision now but to also mitigate against complications in the short and long term, such as manifesting dry eye symptoms. Deciding to have laser eye surgery is a big decision to make, one which our surgeons have been helping countless patients to make, over the last 20 years.

We understand that the best outcome comes from feeling supported throughout this process, which is why at The Harley Street Eye Centre our approach to corrective laser eye surgery differs from that of some high street LASIK eye laser centres.

Moreover, our doctors are involved from the start to examine you for eligibility, and to determine if any other conditions such as dry eye needs to be addressed prior to laser eye surgery in line with the best laser eye surgery practices.

With this approach, the day of your surgery is well planned, with no unexpected hiccups. Access to your surgeon is a very important aspect of this journey, which is why you will be able to reach a doctor within 15-30 minutes of contacting us Monday to Saturday.

What is LASIK Laser Eye Surgery?

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular and widely performed refractive surgery procedure aimed at correcting common vision problems. It utilizes advanced laser technology to reshape the cornea, allowing for clearer and improved vision. LASIK surgery has revolutionized the field of vision correction, providing a safe and effective solution for individuals seeking freedom from glasses or contact lenses.

Here are some key points about LASIK:

Procedure: LASIK is a surgical procedure performed by an ophthalmologist to reshape the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye. It aims to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Corneal Reshaping: The surgeon creates a thin, hinged flap on the cornea using a microkeratome or femtosecond laser. The flap is lifted, and a highly precise excimer laser is used to remove a small amount of corneal tissue. This reshapes the cornea to correct the specific refractive error.
Customised Treatment: Advanced technology, such as wavefront-guided or topography-guided LASIK, allows for a personalized and precise treatment tailored to the unique characteristics of each patient's eyes. This customization enhances the accuracy and outcomes of the procedure.
Quick and Painless: LASIK surgery is typically quick, lasting only a few minutes per eye. Local anesthesia is used to numb the eyes, ensuring a painless experience. Some patients may experience slight pressure or mild discomfort during the procedure.
Rapid Recovery: Following LASIK, most patients experience a relatively quick recovery. Vision may improve within a few hours, with further enhancements over the following days or weeks. The majority of individuals can resume normal activities within a day or two.
High Success Rate: LASIK has a high success rate in correcting refractive errors, with a significant number of patients achieving 20/20 vision or better without the need for glasses or contact lenses. However, individual results may vary, and some individuals may still require glasses for certain tasks.
Considerations and Eligibility: LASIK is not suitable for everyone, and eligibility depends on factors such as overall eye health, corneal thickness, stability of the prescription, and age. A comprehensive evaluation by an experienced eye care professional is necessary to determine if LASIK is a suitable option.

LASIK laser eye surgery has transformed the lives of millions of people worldwide, offering a safe, efficient, and long-lasting solution for vision correction. Consulting with an experienced eye surgeon at The Harley Street Eye Centre will provide you with a thorough assessment along with personalised guidance to determine if LASIK is the right choice for your specific visual needs.

What Is No-touch-Trans-PRK

Eye Treatment?

No-touch Trans-PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is an advanced laser eye treatment that offers several advantages over conventional laser eye surgery techniques. It involves the use of laser technology to reshape the cornea without the need for creating a surgical flap, providing enhanced safety and reduced risks for patients.

Here are key points about the no-touch Trans-PRK eye treatment:

Non-touch Technique: Unlike conventional laser eye surgery, no-touch Trans-PRK does not involve the creation of a surgical flap on the cornea. Instead, the laser is directly applied to the surface of the cornea, eliminating the need for any physical contact with the eye during the procedure.
Reduced Risk: One of the significant advantages of no-touch Trans-PRK is a reduced risk of complications compared to procedures that involve creating a corneal flap. The absence of a flap minimizes the risk of flap-related issues, such as displacement or flap-related infections.
Lower Risk of Dry Eye: Traditional laser eye surgery can sometimes cause temporary dry eye symptoms due to the disruption of corneal nerves during flap creation. With no-touch Trans-PRK, there is a lower risk of developing dry eye symptoms, as there is no disruption to the corneal nerves.
Nighttime Visual Disturbances: Some patients who undergo conventional laser surgery may experience nighttime visual disturbances, such as halos or glare. No-touch Trans-PRK has been associated with a reduced risk of these disturbances, providing improved visual outcomes, especially in low-light conditions.
Long-term Peace of Mind: By choosing the no-touch Trans-PRK technique, patients can have increased confidence and peace of mind regarding the long-term safety and stability of their vision correction. The reduced risks associated with this approach contribute to a greater sense of reassurance.

Your Laser Eye Surgery Journey

When you schedule your free LASIK consultation with us, you will embark on a journey towards visual freedom.

Here's an overview of the LASIK process and what you can expect:

Consultation: On the day of your consultation, you will meet your surgeon and the rest of the team. They will conduct thorough scans, examine your vision, and perform an initial workup to assess your eligibility for LASIK. Your surgeon will then complete a comprehensive examination, discuss your treatment plan, and address any questions or concerns you may have.
Treatment Booking: After your consultation, the surgery is typically scheduled for about a week later, allowing sufficient time for consent and preparation.
LASIK Procedure: The LASIK treatment itself is a painless and efficient process. Both eyes are usually corrected in the same procedure, ensuring consistency and symmetry. The procedure typically takes around 20 minutes, after which you will be taken to the recovery room.
Post-Surgery Instructions: Before you go home, you will receive detailed instructions and advice on what to do and what to avoid during the initial days and weeks of your recovery. Following these guidelines will help optimize your healing process and ensure the best possible outcomes.
Immediate Improvement: You will notice a significant improvement in your vision immediately after the surgery. The healing process begins right away, and as the initial swelling subsides over the next few days, your vision will continue to improve.
Follow-Up and Aftercare: A follow-up appointment will be scheduled shortly after your procedure to monitor your healing progress. During this appointment, your doctor will ensure that you are healing well and address any concerns you may have. Additionally, you will be assigned a dedicated doctor whom you can contact if you have any queries or need assistance during your recovery period.

Our team at The Harley Street Eye Centre is committed to providing comprehensive aftercare and support to ensure your successful LASIK journey. We are here to guide you every step of the way, from the initial consultation to your post-operative recovery and beyond.

By choosing LASIK, you are taking a significant step towards achieving clear vision and a life free from glasses or contact lenses.

What Are The Types of Laser Eye Treatments At The Harley Street Eye Centre

At the Harley Street Eye Centre, we offer advanced laser eye treatments to address various vision concerns.

Here are some key options:

Conventional LASIK: This widely practiced technique involves creating a corneal flap to access the underlying layers for laser ablation, providing vision correction for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. While effective, flap creation in select cases may increase the risk of long-term dry eye symptoms.
TRANS-Epi PRK: Our clinic utilizes the Schwind Amaris Laser with the non-touch TRANS-Epi PRK technique. This approach eliminates the need for a corneal flap, reducing the associated risks and providing enhanced peace of mind regarding long-term complications.
Presbyopia Correction: Laser eye surgery has evolved to address presbyopia, the age-related loss of near focus typically experienced around the age of 50. Our experienced refractive surgeons can guide you through the process and explain how laser eye surgery can correct presbyopia, potentially reducing the need for reading glasses.

During your consultation, your surgeon at The Harley Street Eye Centre will thoroughly assess your eyes and discuss the most suitable treatment options based on your unique needs and goals. They will explain the benefits, potential risks, and expected outcomes of each procedure, ensuring you have a comprehensive understanding of the recommended approach.

We are committed to utilizing advanced technology and techniques to provide safe and effective laser eye treatments, enabling you to achieve clearer vision and potentially reduce dependence on corrective eyewear.

What Happens After The Surgery?

After LASIK eye laser surgery, your eyes will enter a crucial post-operative recovery phase. During this period, your eyes will undergo healing and adjustment, leading to improved vision and overall visual stability. It is essential to understand what to expect during the recovery process. This recovery period plays a vital role in determining the long-term outcomes of your LASIK surgery, allowing you to fully enjoy the benefits of improved vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses.

Here's what you can expect after LASIK:

Immediate Post-Operative Period: Right after the surgery, you will spend some time in the recovery area where your eyes will be monitored. Your surgeon or a member of the medical team will provide you with specific post-operative instructions and any necessary medications or eye drops.
Rest and Recovery: It is essential to rest your eyes for the first few hours following the surgery. You may experience some mild discomfort, itching, or a foreign body sensation, but these symptoms are usually temporary and can be managed with prescribed medications or lubricating eye drops.
Clearer Vision: You will likely notice an immediate improvement in your vision shortly after the surgery. However, it is normal for your vision to fluctuate or appear slightly hazy during the initial recovery period. This will gradually improve over time.
Follow-up Appointments: Your surgeon will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress. These appointments allow your surgeon to ensure that your eyes are healing properly and that you are achieving the desired visual outcomes. During these visits, any necessary adjustments or additional instructions will be provided.
Healing Process: The healing process after LASIK surgery is typically rapid. Your eyes will gradually adjust and stabilize over the course of a few weeks. It is important to follow all post-operative care instructions provided by your surgeon, including avoiding rubbing your eyes and protecting your eyes from excessive sunlight or harsh environments.
Resuming Normal Activities: Most patients are able to resume their normal activities, including work and light exercise, within a few days to a week after LASIK surgery. However, it is essential to avoid activities that could potentially impact or irritate your eyes, such as swimming or contact sports, until your surgeon gives you the green light.

Remember that each individual's recovery process may vary. It is important to attend all scheduled follow-up appointments and communicate any concerns or changes in your vision to your surgeon. By adhering to the post-operative instructions and giving your eyes the necessary time to heal, you can optimize your chances of a successful and comfortable recovery after LASIK eye laser surgery.

Commonly Asked Questions About LASIK Laser Eye Surgery

What is LASIK laser eye surgery?

LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) is a surgical procedure designed to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. It involves reshaping the cornea using an excimer laser to improve vision and reduce the need for glasses or contact lenses.

Am I a suitable candidate for LASIK?

The eligibility for LASIK depends on several factors, including your overall eye health, refractive error, corneal thickness, and stability of your prescription. A comprehensive evaluation by an experienced eye surgeon is necessary to determine your suitability for the procedure.

Is LASIK surgery safe?

LASIK is considered a safe and commonly performed procedure with a high success rate. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications. It is crucial to consult with an experienced eye surgeon who will thoroughly evaluate your case, discuss the risks, benefits, and alternative treatment options, and address any concerns you may have.

Does LASIK surgery hurt?

LASIK is performed under local anesthesia, and patients typically experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. Some may feel slight pressure or a sensation of warmth during the laser treatment. After the surgery, you may experience mild discomfort or dryness, but this can be managed with prescribed medications and eye drops.

What is the recovery time after LASIK surgery?

The recovery time varies among individuals, but most patients experience improved vision within a few days following LASIK surgery. It is common to resume normal activities, including work, within a few days to a week. However, it is essential to follow the post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon for optimal healing and visual recovery.

Will I still need glasses or contact lenses after LASIK surgery?

LASIK surgery aims to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses, but the outcome can vary depending on individual factors. Many patients achieve significantly improved vision and may not require corrective eyewear for daily activities. However, some individuals may still require glasses for specific tasks or under certain circumstances.

Are the results of LASIK permanent?

The results of LASIK are typically permanent. However, it is important to note that the natural aging process of the eyes can lead to changes in vision over time, such as presbyopia (age-related difficulty in focusing up close). Your surgeon will discuss any potential long-term effects or considerations during your consultation.

Are there any potential risks or complications associated with LASIK surgery?

While LASIK is generally safe, potential risks and complications exist, albeit rare. These may include dry eyes, glare, halos, fluctuating vision, infection, corneal flap complications, or undercorrections/overcorrections. Your eye surgeon will thoroughly evaluate your case, discuss the potential risks, and address any concerns you may have.

How much does LASIK surgery cost?

The cost of LASIK surgery can vary depending on several factors, including the surgeon's expertise, technology used, and geographical location. During your consultation, our staff will provide you with detailed information about the procedure, associated costs, and potential financing options or insurance coverage.

How do I schedule a consultation for LASIK surgery?

To schedule a consultation for LASIK surgery, please contact our clinic. Our knowledgeable staff will assist you in booking an appointment with an experienced eye surgeon who will evaluate your eligibility, discuss the procedure in detail, and provide personalised recommendations based on your specific visual needs.
