Blurred Vision? You Could Be Suitable for Laser Eye Surgery
Refractive errors affect a significant portion of the global population, leaving between half and three-quarters of people in the UK reliant on glasses or contact lenses, according to recent survey data. But while these external visual aids may be commonplace among people of all ages, they are not particularly desirable for a number of reasons.
In recent years, the number of people turning to alternative solutions such as Laser Eye Surgery and Clear Lens Exchange (CLE) has been on the rise. In fact, figures indicate that around 100,000 Laser Eye Surgery procedures are performed every year in the UK alone. Moreover, with ongoing advances in technology and expertise, treatment is becoming increasingly accessible for more and more people – and you could be one of them.
So, whether you have been living with blurred vision for years or have recently begun to notice the effects of ageing eyes (presbyopia), we could help.
What is Laser Eye Surgery?
Laser Eye Surgery refers to several procedures designed to reshape the cornea and adapt the way light is directed into the eye. The treatment builds on the method used by glasses and contact lenses to correct refractive error. Of course, rather than providing external, temporary correction, Laser Eye Surgery makes permanent changes to the eye itself.

Over the years, various developments in the field have made Laser Eye Surgery a suitable option to more people. In fact, at a clinic like London Vision Clinic, with access to the latest technology and world-renowned surgeons, it is possible to treat up to 97% of patients!
