Do You Depend on Contact Lenses? There Could Be a Better Way
If you wear contact lenses – whether it has been a lifetime or a relatively new requirement – it’s highly likely you will have considered whether there could be an alternative. Well, we could help!
Don’t get us wrong, contact lenses are a fantastic solution for many refractive errors. They can correct a wide range of prescriptions and offer you freedom from the worries of losing or breaking your glasses – not to mention the benefit of discretion!
But we all know that contact lenses can also have their drawbacks.
So, let’s take a look at how Laser Eye Surgery could help you to ditch those fiddly lenses, starting with the importance of a rigorous consultation.
Your Prescription is Just the Beginning
When considering Laser Eye Surgery, you may assume that your eligibility will depend solely on your prescription. Indeed, many clinics may use your prescription as the primary basis of your suitability for treatment. But there is much more to consider.
Of course, there are prescription limitations to the Laser Eye Surgery. Some patients with very high prescriptions may be told they are
unsuitable for treatment; however, this is not always the case. At London Vision Clinic, we have access to the latest Laser eye Surgery technology and surgeons who are highly experienced in the most up-to-date treatments and techniques. As a result, we are often able to treat patients with high prescriptions who may have been turned away by other clinics.
But what else do we consider when evaluating your suitability for Laser Eye Surgery?
Our rigorous screening process involves a number of tests to assess, not only your prescription, but also several measurements and the overall health of your eyes. With the help of state-of-the-art technology, we are able to build a rounded view on your vision and eye health, from your prescription to the thickness of your corneas and the size of your pupils. Furthermore, we consider your general health, including the presence of any underlying health conditions such as diabetes, to determine your suitability.
All of this information allows us to not only find out if you are suitable for Laser Eye Surgery, but also to create a detailed, bespoke treatment plan to improve our chances of achieving the very best treatment outcomes.

Will I Be Able to Get Rid of my Contact Lenses?
So, you’ve been for your consultation and have been told you are suitable for Laser Eye Surgery treatment! That’s great news! But what can you expect from the procedure? More specifically, will you be able to ditch the contact lenses for good?
Well, the truth is, that depends. Every patient and every treatment is different – and so are the expected outcomes. However, with the help of the latest technology and techniques – and detailed treatment plan – many patients are able to give up their glasses and contact lenses after Laser Eye Surgery.
Your surgeon will discuss your expected outcomes with you before you decide whether or not to go ahead with treatment. You can take a look at our past outcomes from patients with a range of prescriptions over on our Results and Statistics page.
