Introduction
Laser eye surgery has transformed the lives of millions of people around the world. As with all medical procedures it can be difficult to understand the techniques and technologies involved. We aim to explain the procedures ELI offer in clear language. ELI combines the best Irish based consultants, technology and facilities. Your eyes deserve the best possible treatment.
Refractive surgery is the term used to describe eye surgery to improve the refractive state or focusing characteristics of the eye and decrease dependency on glasses or contact lenses.
This is achieved by surgically reshaping the cornea. This reshaping is performed by excimer lasers.
Refractive eye surgery can help to reduce common vision disorders such as myopia (short sightedness), hyperopia (long sightedness) and astigmatism (distorted vision).
Testimonials
I can't express enough how delighted I am since having the Eye Laser procedure in June of this year. I was wearing glasses for 17 years and constantly disliked them. I hated the way they would fog up when you moved temperatures, how you would have to change from prescription glasses to prescription shades when the sun would come out, how you would need windscreen wipers when the rain started etc.
I had met many people who had eye laser done through Eye Laser Ireland in Cork and were really happy with the results, so when I heard they were opening their doors in Dublin, I arranged a consultation. I met with Aoife who immediately put me at ease, did comprehensive tests on my eyes to ensure I was suitable, answered any questions I had and talked me through the entire procedure. This was all further reinforced with a follow up meeting with the surgeon.
The procedure itself was completely pain free and over before I knew it. That afternoon I could see perfectly and was back driving the next day. The treatment of care, professionalism and after care service, from everybody I met at Eye laser Ireland, was second to none. It most definitely has been life changing for me, giving me much more confidence and my vision now is better than it ever was when I was wearing glasses. I would recommend it to anyone.
