If you're looking for a solution that gets you back to work quickly, LASIK may be for you, provided your cornea is over 500 microns thick and perfectly shaped. This technique is the most widely used in the world, offering rapid, pain-free results.
How does it work?
- An ultra-thin "hood" is created on the surface of your cornea.
- The laser then sculpts your cornea to correct vision.
- The hood is repositioned and attaches itself, without stitches.
For which visual defects?
- Severe myopia (up to -10 dioptres).
- Astigmatism.
- Moderate hyperopia.
What you need to know :
- The procedure is painless.
- Recovery is very rapid: in most cases, you can see clearly the very next day.
It's a safe, tried-and-tested method.
