Laser eye surgery, commonly referred to as laser eye surgery or laser vision correction, is a type of refractive surgery for the correction of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Laser eye surgery corrects poor vision, giving you freedom from glasses and contact lenses, so you can live your life to the full.
You may have waited months or even years before deciding on laser eye surgery, but the procedure itself is extremely quick, taking up to 30-60 minutes only. Before you know it you will be looking at the clock on the wall and you will be amazed at how you are able to tell the time without glasses or contact lenses.
