The IMAB conferences continue to improve their surgeons' knowledge of recent developments in the laser vision correction field and keep them up to date with industry regulations.

Laser eye surgery in the UK

Laser vision correction can treat a very high degree of short sightedness, long sightedness and astigmatism. Your eyes are as individual as you are and we will assess your suitability for laser vision correction in a free consultation carried out by one of our experienced Laser Trained Optometrists who will perform an in depth eye examination (involving many additional tests not conducted during a standard eye exam) and use state-of-the-art equipment to determine if you are a suitable candidate.

At Optical Express, they offer two different laser eye surgery treatments;  LASIK and LASEK, depending on your suitability and requirements. Options for surgery treatment are either a conventional or femtosecond IntraLase procedure, as well as the option of choosing to have an Advanced CustomVue Wavefront treatment.

LASIK eye treatment

LASIK (Laser-Assisted-In-Situ Keratomileusis) eye surgery is currently the most frequently performed elective procedure in the world and at Optical Express. A highly effective procedure that is suitable for most low, moderate and high prescriptions, uses a cool beam of light from the excimer laser to gently reshape the front surface (cornea) of your eye.  Read more about LASIK eye surgery in the UK.

LASEK eye treatment

LASEK (Laser-Assisted-Epithelial Keratomileusis) eye surgery is an alternative laser refractive procedure to correct short sightedness, long sightedness and astigmatism. Sometimes referred to as "Epi-LASEK", LASEK eye surgery involves removing the top layer of the cornea as a flap-like sheet before re-sculpting the cornea with the excimer laser. It is more suitable for patients with thin corneas or who are involved in certain contact sports. Read more about LASEK eye surgery in the UK.

Advanced CustomVue Wavefront

Advanced Wavefront CustomVue is an advanced form of excimer laser treatment that allows the surgeon to further customise the conventional procedure to your eyes. Originally developed for use in high powered telescopes, surgeons can identify, measure and correct unique imperfections in an individual’s eyes 25 times more precisely than with conventional methods used for spectacles and contact lenses.

IntraLase

IntraLase is an alternative method of creating the protective flap, which is the first part of the LASIK procedure, using a precision laser. It enables even faster healing and recovery rates than standard methods of the creation of the protective flap and can improve precision and visual results of LASIK.
