LASER EYE SURGERY BROOKLIN
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM LASER EYE SURGERY?
The first step in exploring the possibility of laser eye surgery is a comprehensive eye exam and consultation. We’ll begin by taking a detailed look at your eyes and learning more about your health history and lifestyle needs.
We’ll also discuss your expectations for the surgery. Many people achieve 20/20 vision after their procedure, but there are people who need glasses or contact lenses post-surgery. In most cases , laser eye surgery decreases reliance on corrective lenses.
In order to be considered a candidate for laser eye surgery, your eyes must be in good health. Infections, severe dry eye, or recent trauma may mean you’ll need to delay the procedure.
Here are a few other considerations for surgery:
- You must be 18 years of age or older
- Your refractive error must not be too great
- Your prescription must be stable

WHAT IS LASER EYE SURGERY?
Laser vision correction is a group of safe, precise procedures that use advanced laser technology to correct common vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. By reshaping the cornea—the front surface of the eye—these surgeries help reduce or even eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses.
There are several types of laser vision correction available today. The most common are LASIK and PRK, which have been used successfully for many years. A newer option, called SMILE, uses a minimally invasive approach for certain types of vision correction. Each procedure has its benefits, and an eye doctor can help determine which option is best for your eyes and lifestyle.
PRK reshapes the surface of the cornea using a laser to correct vision. It’s a safe option for patients with thinner corneas or other specific eye conditions, though recovery can be slightly longer than LASIK.
LASIK creates a small flap in the cornea, then uses a laser to reshape the underlying tissue. It’s one of the most popular procedures for correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, with quick recovery and minimal discomfort.
SMILE is a minimally invasive laser procedure that corrects nearsightedness with a small incision instead of a flap. It can offer faster healing, less dryness, and reduced risk of certain flap-related complications.
