Why does few million people annually decide to undergo a laser vision correction? Year after year the number of people who decide to undergo a laser vision correction procedure rises. Why is that? A chance to function normally without the necessity to wear glasses or contact lenses is very tempting and the high degree of safety of the procedure along with its’ ever-rising popularity result in the increasing number of people interested in undergoing the surgery. Laser vision correction is a painless, safe, quick and effective procedure. What are the benefits of it?

 

Safety

Laser vision correction is a non-invasive procedure and the safest surgery in aesthetic medicine. The surgeon does not interfere with the inner structure of the eye. Laser acts only on the superficial layer of the cornea and, even in the long time perspective, laser intervention does not cause any dysfunction of the internal structures of the eye. This is confirmed by multiple eye postprocedural eye examinations conducted in clinical hospital around the world. Before introduction of laser vision correction as a standard method of treatment, its’ safety was confirmed by many clinical tests.

In ArtLife Ophthalmology Centre, the doctors operate with world class, state-of-the-art equipment which guarantees the highest possible level of safety.

Predictability of the outcomes

Thanks to the carefully performed diagnostic process, the doctor can foresee the effect of the procedure during the qualifying examination. International studies indicate that precise presurgical diagnosis minimises the risk of the occurrence of side effects. The examination is conducted with the use of modern equipment which allows for precise measurement of parameters such as: thickness and topography of the cornea, intraocular pressure and many other. It is a crucial step in the process of determination and elimination of any medical contraindications. Basically it answers following questions: Can the patient undergo laser vision correction? What is the most appropriate method of correction in that particular case? What is the risk of side effects?

Stability

Laser vision correction is performed once in a lifetime because the effects of it are stable. In some patients with astigmatism of high degree, the correction may be split into two separate surgeries (sometimes it also depends on the individual features). Such necessity, as we observed throughout the ten years of our clinical experience, occurs in less than 3% of the patients.
Painlessness Application of a local anaesthetic (eye drops) during the surgery makes the surgery a totally painless experience.

Swiftness 

The surgery, when performed on both eyes, takes approximately 15 minutes. Before the surgery, the patient undergoes a preparation process for about 15 minutes and after it he is allowed a 30 minute rest in the relax room. Most of our patients are able to go back to their everyday routines on the following day.
ArtLife Clinic is known for its’ qualified team as well as high precision and effectiveness when it comes to laser vision correction.
