I was introduced to Kent Eye Centre from a friend who had previously had surgery with them, the feedback from my friend was nothing but positive and he was living a glasses free life without any problems with reading or driving (his ability to see the dart board was starting to put me to shame)!

LASIK SURGERY
LASIK (laser in situ keratomileusis) is typically performed using two lasers:
One (Femtosecond laser) to prepare a thin protective layer (the LASIK flap), which is lifted up before a second (Excimer laser) removes a lens shaped piece of tissue to reshape the cornea beneath.
The protective layer is then smoothed back and sticks in place without the use of stictches
PRK, LASEK and TransPRK
Surface laser treatments (PRK, LASEK, and TransPRK) use the same excimer lasers to perform an identical removal of a lens shaped piece of tissue immediately beneath the clear skin layer of the cornea.
All surface laser treatments produce similar results, and the only difference between them is the way in which the corneal skin layer is removed. In PRK and LASEK the skin layer is removed by the surgeon – in LASEK dilute alcohol is applied to loosen the skin layer first.
Some modern excimer laser systems are able to remove the skin layer as part of the reshaping treatment. This is called TransPRK. The area of skin layer removal in TransPRK is reduced to the minimum required for reshaping the cornea beneath, shortening recovery time by 1 to 2 days in comparison with PRK and LASEK.
SMILE
SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) uses a femtosecond laser of the same type used to create a LASIK flap to define a lens shaped piece of tissue that is removed by the surgeon through a small incision to correct focus. This is like LASIK without the LASIK flap, but the thickness of tissue removal is slightly greater and the tissue may be removed from slightly deeper in the cornea. End results are similar to those for LASIK and surface laser treatments
Depending on your examination results, your doctor will determine which type of laser vision correction operation is suitable for you.

Your Consultation for Laser Refractive Surgery
During your Laser Refractive Consultation you will undergo thorough investigations to determine your candidacy including:
01
Measurement of corneal thickness
02
Complete review of overall eye health
03
Measurement of prescription for refractive errors
04
Custom LASIK measurement for higher order aberrations
05
Dry eye test
06
Dilation of the eye to view the retina
07
Glasses and contact lens history review
08
Measurement of pupil size
After your eye surgeon has completed the Laser Consultation and Investigations they will be able to determine if you are a strong candidate for Laser Refractive Surgery. If for some reason, you are not a strong Laser Refractive Surgery candidate, they may recommend one of the many other possible vision correction offered at Kent Eye Centre.
