Around 1 in 10 Optical Express patients are suited to LASEK. It is the better option for people with thin corneal tissue as only one layer is moved to reveal the cornea. A protective 'bandage' contact lens is placed over the eye to help with recovery. Healing time is around two weeks.
iDesign LASEK
Most LASEK suitable patients choose to have iDesign LASEK. iDesign technology maps your eyes to 25 times more detail than an eye test prescription. It details miniscule and unique eye characteristics. The laser is directed using this extremely precise information.
iLASIK
LASIK is the most common technique, this is mainly due to its faster healing times. A flap made from two layers of corneal tissue forms a natural protection around the eye during the recovery period. Most patients see instant results and return to work the next day
iDesign iLASIK
This is the most advanced technique currently available. We are so confident in the results from iDesign iLASIK that we offer 20|20 vision or your money back.* It's the most commonly performed laser eye surgery with 7 out of 10 Optical Express patients having iDesign iLASIK.
Every week, Optical Express surgeons perform thousands of laser eye surgery procedures across Europe, making us an experienced provider and a popular first choice for treatment. We have skilled and experienced staff, technologically advanced equipment, and as the UK’s number one provider of laser eye surgery, we back our commitment to patient care.
