Laser Eye Surgery Hampshire
We know wearing glasses or contact lenses can be inconvenient and can affect your confidence and active lifestyle. Many people who rely on corrective eyewear often wish for a life without the need to constantly adjust their glasses or deal with dry and irritated eyes caused by wearing contact lenses.
It can also be both time-consuming and expensive to frequently replace lost or damaged spectacles or manage the discomfort of wearing contact lenses.
Laser eye surgery is a highly effective and permanent solution for addressing various vision issues at our first-class clinic in Hampshire.
The procedure is carried out to correct refractive errors like mild to severe short-sightedness, long-sightedness and astigmatism. By opting for laser eye surgery, individuals can experience long-lasting improvements in their eyesight.
What is the difference between LASEK and LASIK?
When it comes to vision correction through laser eye surgery, two commonly performed procedures are LASIK and LASEK. While both aim to improve vision and reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses, there are some key differences between the two.
LASEK
LASEK (Laser-Assisted Subepithelial Keratectomy) involves removing only the thin epithelial layer of the cornea using an alcohol solution or a special instrument. The surgeon uses an excimer laser to reshape the underlying cornea. After reshaping, a soft contact lens is placed on the eye to protect it during healing. The recovery period for LASEK is typically longer compared to LASIK.
LASIK
LASIK eye surgery (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) involves creating a thin corneal flap using a microkeratome or femtosecond laser. The surgeon lifts the flap and uses an excimer laser to reshape the underlying cornea. Once the reshaping is complete, the flap is repositioned on the cornea. This procedure is known for its quick recovery time and minimal discomfort.
Which one is best for me? 
The choice between LASIK and LASEK depends on various factors such as individual eye characteristics and the surgeon’s recommendation.
LASIK may be more suitable for individuals with thicker corneas and stable prescriptions while LASEK may be preferred for those with thinner corneas or certain pre-existing conditions.
Our specialists can help determine the best type of refractive surgery for you with a few simple questions and an initial assessment.
