LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) is a surgical procedure that changes the shape of the cornea (the clear covering of the eye). The cornea can then focus light better on to the retina (the layer at the back of the eye that contains nerve cells that sense light), resulting in clearer vision and reduced need for glasses or contact lenses.

The procedure involves cutting a flap in the cornea, removing tiny bits of corneal tissue with a laser and then replacing the flap.

LASIK Surgery at Bowen Eye Clinic

LASIK can correct short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism. The Bowen Eye Clinic uses FDA approved femtosecond and excimer lasers to give you blade-free all laser LASIK.

LASIK can offer freedom from glasses and contact lenses. The laser treatment only takes seconds and recovery time is very quick with only mild discomfort during the recovery period of up to 4 hours. Most people will have 20-20 vision or better the next day.

Bowen Eye Clinic offers free, no obligation assessments to check your suitability to have laser refractive surgery. Most people reliant on glasses or contact lenses can be treated with LASIK.

Your free assessment will involve education about the procedure and your expected results. We will then do some visual testing (similar to an optometrist’s tests) and modern diagnostic scans to advise you on your suitability for LASIK. 

If you are not suitable for LASIK other treatment options are available. This can include other laser treatments such as PRK or LASEK. Lens surgery such as Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) or Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) may be an option.
