What is The Likelihood of Needing an Enhancement? [video]
Laser Eye Surgery is similar to glasses and contacts in that, if it’s not up to standard, you can always have it done again or go elsewhere. The thing is, though, unlike glasses and contacts, you expect Laser Eye Surgery to be a one-time jobby.

There are, however, a small number of cases when their… Read more

Is It Safe to Dye Your Hair Before or After Laser Eye Surgery ?
There are certain things you just shouldn’t do immediately before or after having Laser Eye Surgery. Down a fishbowl Martini. Go wild with paint at the Holi festival or take your chances at Pamplona’s running of the bulls. Give birth. The reason why such things are to be avoided can seem pretty obvious. For instance, of course you don’t want to go into labour whilst at the clinic and you’re about to have your second eye lasered. But when you look beyond… Read more

But by placing them high up and front and centre,… Read more

When Can I Wear Makeup After Laser Eye Surgery? [video]
After Laser Eye Surgery, it’s often a shock when you look in the mirror for the first time with your new and much greater level of visual clarity. Ideally, the shock would come out along with something like: “I look great without glasses.” “I can see and I haven’t put my contact lenses in yet!” Yet unfortunately it’s often more like: “WOW, I didn’t realise how many wrinkles I have!” If you’re like me and are more inclined to come out with… Read more

You’re told one of the most important things you can do after Laser Eye Surgery is to prevent your eyes from drying out. So you do as instructed and refrain from using your tablet or phone, reading, and watching TV, and staring into the sun, for at least 24 hours, and get into the habit of routinely using lubricating drops.

The “dos and donts” of eye drops
It’s a sad fact that today, the eyes of many people are suffering from a severe lack of moisture. It’s not because we don’t cry enough — although some blubbering emotional therapy surely wouldn’t hurt. The problem is, if it’s not so obvious to you now reading this on a phone or computer, that screen use and the consumption of media has become the dominant way in which we spend our time.
