Clearer Vision Awaits
Laser eye surgery for refractive errors is performed on over 75,000 Canadians each year. This common and safe procedure has a very high success rate, with over 95% of patients happy with their results.
Laser eye surgery is used to correct refractive errors resulting from:
- Astigmatism
- Nearsightedness (Myopia)
- Farsightedness (Hyperopia)
- Presbyopia
Laser eye surgery won’t work for everyone’s prescription, but our team can determine your candidacy by conducting a comprehensive eye examination and laser eye surgery consultation.
Our optometrists can evaluate your overall visual health, and establish what level of correction is needed.
We’d love to help you achieve your dream of a frame-less future; book a laser eye surgery consultation at Glencoe Optometrists today!
Which Procedure Works for Me?
A large number of technological advancements have occurred over the last decade, resulting in more procedure methods for patients interested in laser eye surgery.
The 2 most common laser eye surgery procedures in Canada are:
- LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis): LASIK is the most popular form of laser eye surgery in Canada. This procedure uses a pre-programmed laser to sculpt your cornea into the desired prescription.
Your opthalmologist creates a small flap in the cornea and then uses a computer-programmed laser to correct refractive errors.
- PRK (photorefractive keratectomy): Similar to LASIK, PRK employs a computer-programmed laser to alter the cornea’s shape, but with different procedures.
Your ophthalmologist removes and discards the cornea’s outer layer with a laser, blade, brush, or alcohol solution during the surgery.
Once the outer layer has been removed, the desired prescription is achieved by precisely removing tissue from the cornea.
Post-surgery, the patient wears a bandage contact lens for several days as part of the healing process.
Post-Surgery Follow-Ups
After your procedure, you’ll visit one of our optometrists for a series of follow-up appointments. We want to check in on your recovery, address any side effects, and make sure your eyes are healing properly.
Are You Ready for a Change?
