We guarantee to provide the highest standard of care with an experienced team of Irish surgeons, nurses, laser technicians and optometrists.

• Lasek is performed by first loosening the skin on the surface of the eye with a drop of alcohol
• This skin softens and then can be gently brushed aside temporarily while the procedure gets underway.
• The cold laser reshapes the surface for 10 to 40 seconds. The laser treatment applied to the corneal surface can be standardized or individually customized using wavefront technology.
• Finally, as with LASIK, the skin is rolled back into position. A contact lens is placed onto the eye for 5 days to reduce any discomfort as the skin heals.

The discomfort for most patients is mild and similar to having a scratch on your eye.

We recommend patients do not return to work for 1 week.
