How Eyes Work

A normal eye functions like a camera. The cornea is the clear window at the front of the eye. Along with the natural lens inside the eye, the cornea works to focus light coming from a distance clearly on to the retina at the back of the eye. The retina is equivalent to the film in the camera and changes light into electrical impulses that are carried by the optic nerve to the brain.

The iris (coloured part of the eye) acts like the aperture of the camera, regulating the amount of light getting in. An eye in which the light from a distance is not focused correctly on the retina has what is called a refractive error, and requires correction from either glasses or contact lenses to bring the image into focus.

Laser Eye Surgery

What is LASIK?

LASIK stands for laser in-situ keratomileusis and is the most common form of refractive laser eye surgery - that is surgery performed to correct refractive errors to reduce dependence on glasses and contact lenses.

LASIK is a two-step process using the Intralase method:

The first step is the creation of the corneal flap using a specialised laser called the Intralase
The second step is the vision correction using a second laser called an Excimer laser to smoothly reshape the surface beneath the flap. Once the laser treatment is complete the delicate corneal flap is precisely replaced and seals in place with no stitches required.
