LASIK is generally considered safe when careful screening, proper patient selection and post-operative follow-up are carried out.

How long does LASIK recovery take?

Many patients notice early vision improvement within 24 to 48 hours, though complete recovery and stability may take longer.

What is the difference between LASIK and Contoura Vision?

Contoura Vision is an advanced topography-guided form of laser vision correction, while standard LASIK uses conventional corneal reshaping techniques.

REFRACTIVE SURGERY FAQ

Is refractive surgery the same thing as LASIK?

Refractive surgery is the actual name of the class of surgery. LASIK, PRK, refractive lens exchange, and implantable contact lens (ICL) are types of refractive surgery to address astigmatism, near-sightedness, and farsightedness. LASIK and PRK use a laser to precisely reshape your cornea, whereas the latter two procedures use implants to correct your vision. A member of our team of experienced doctors can tell you more about refractive surgery and determine which procedure is right for you during your consultation.

Is refractive surgery painful?

Having your cornea reshaped with a laser or implanting a lens into your eye may sound painful, but, it isn’t. At AMVision, the doctor conducting your surgery will put anaesthetic numbing drops in your eyes to reduce any discomfort you may feel. Most patients only feel slight pressure during their procedure.

Is refractive surgery safe?

When people ask about the safety of refractive surgery, they most commonly want to know about the safety of a LASIK procedure. While any type of procedure has inherent risks, LASIK is generally considered extremely safe with a minimal complication rate. LASIK is one of the safest elective surgical procedures available today with complications in less than 1% of successful procedures.

What is refractive lens exchange?

Our skilled team is proud to perform refractive lens exchange for patients. This procedure is very much like cataract surgery except that instead of having a cloudy lens, the patient is having their natural lens replaced with an IOL (intraocular lens) to improve their vision. RLE can be a great solution for individuals with a severe refractive error (myopia or hyperopia) and who aren’t eligible for LASIK or PRK. To find out if RLE could be your preferred method for improved vision, contact, and schedule a consultation.

What are the benefits of Refractive Lens Exchange?

Refractive lens exchange at AMVision can help you achieve the improved vision you want with wide-ranging benefits, including:

Offers multiple replacement lens options
Creates dramatically clearer, sharper vision
Reduces reliance on glasses and contact lenses
Provides an effective alternative for patients not eligible for LASIK
Removes cataracts (if present)
Vision improvements are almost immediate
New lenses are not susceptible to cataracts
A more permanent vision improvement solution
Procedure is quick and easy
Recovery time is short
