Learn about LASIK Laser Eye Surgery in Sydney
Laser eye surgery has become highly popular in Sydney, and around the world, in helping patients eliminate their dependence on glasses or contact lenses. LASIK, PRK, Epi-LASIK and LASEK are the most common forms of laser eye surgery. In each of these procedures, an excimer laser provides a cool laser beam that reshapes the cornea and changes the refractive error of the eye. During the LASIK procedure a flap is created, the flap is folded over and the excimer laser beam is directed toward an inner layer of the cornea. To create the flap, a blade can be used, called a microkeratome, or more recent advancements include the use of an IntraLase laser to create the flap. When the "All Laser LASIK" or "Bladeless LASIK" procedure is performed, it is referred to as iLASIK.
Many Sydney laser eye surgery specialists offer other services in addition to laser vision correction. Anti aging treatments, such as Botox or Restylane, are offered to help reduce or eliminate wrinkles around the eyes and other parts of the face. If a patient desires more complex cosmetic treatments, such as needed to reverse hair loss or for tattoo removal, the laser eye surgeon may refer a colleague, or may provide these services at his or her comprehensive care facility.
When considering LASIK laser eye surgery, it is best to consult an experienced ophthalmologist who can provide a full examination and make the best recommendation related to the options for surgery. Use the Sydney LASIK surgeon directory to research laser eye surgeons and contact their practice for a consultation.
