What Does Laser Eye Surgery Address?

Laser vision correction procedures like LASIK and refractive lens exchange (RLE) reshape the cornea or replace the eye’s natural lens to correct issues like:

Nearsightedness (myopia)
Farsightedness (hyperopia)
Astigmatism

RLE is especially helpful for those with early cataracts or high farsightedness. We’ll help determine which approach is the best fit for your eyes and lifestyle.

LASIK vs Refractive Lens Exchange: How They Compare

LASIK
With LASIK, a precision laser reshapes the cornea beneath a thin flap to improve how your eye focuses light. It’s one of the most common vision correction procedures, often offering quick recovery and minimal discomfort.

Refractive Lens Exchange
This option replaces your eye’s natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL), much like cataract surgery. It’s often recommended for people over 40 or those with very high farsightedness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I meet the surgeon before the procedure?
Yes, after your consultation, we’ll schedule a surgeon’s pre-op appointment where final measurements and preparations are made.

What happens after surgery?
We co-manage your care afterward. We’ll monitor your healing, manage any dry eye symptoms, track your vision progress, and communicate with your surgeon, all from our Waterdown clinic.

Is post-op care included in my consultation?
Absolutely. We include both pre- and post-operative evaluations in our service to provide you with seamless care from start to finish.
