Laser Eye Surgery: Home or Abroad?
We’re living in a new world, a world dominated by the Coronavirus Pandemic, even forgetting our exit from the European Union.

Guide to Dry Eyes and Laser Eye Surgery [VIDEO]
The eyes are the body’s natural cameras that capture light, convert it to waves of electrochemical signals, and magically conjure up the images we see.

With so much complexity, the eye requires an ultra-precise arrangement of components in order to function correctly. And, like a pearl sitting in a clamshell, such a delicate design needs appropriate protection. For the…

Complete Guide to Recovery & Post-Operative Care After Laser Eye Surgery
Updated for 2021 Your eyes need to receive and process visual data to create the world around us and guide us through it, so it wouldn’t make much sense for them to be on your knees or inside your gallbladder.

Can I have a glass of wine to celebrate my Laser Eye Surgery?
Recovering from any surgery is an unpleasant experience at the best of times, and an absolute nightmare at the worst. And just to make it that little more unenjoyable, we’re advised to stay away from any alcohol whatsoever.

Can I eat or drink prior to my Laser Eye Surgery?
If you’ve ever had surgery in the past, it’s likely you’ll be familiar with the period of fasting that comes beforehand.
