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. And it is — the vast majority of people who have it never need to return to the clinic again other than for their scheduled aftercare appointments. 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.

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

How soon after laser eye treatment can I swim?
You’re told one of the most important things you can do after Laser Eye Surgery is to prevent your eyes from drying out.

Normal Symptoms You May Experience After LASIK Laser Eye Surgery
Going in for any type of procedure can be daunting. Especially one that involves your eyes.

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.

How do you manage any pain and discomfort post surgery
It’s one of the most discussed questions about Laser Eye Surgery. Often accompanied by other queries like will I need a general anaesthetic or sedative during treatment? Or can i take a sedative or tranquillizer before surgery? And yet, all these concerns stem from the same deep-seated Laser Eye Surgery myth.
