At our flagship Laser Vision clinic in Portsmouth, we offer cutting-edge LASIK eye surgery Portsmouth residents trust.
Ultimately, most patients undergoing LASIK surgery will feel apprehensive about the laser eye surgery procedures, after all, it can be a scary procedure.
For any eye surgery, such as refractive procedures – reshaping of your cornea – or LASIK, trusting your eye surgeon is important for safety.
At Laser Vision, the LASIK procedure provided by our eye surgeons is of the highest quality. To book your first consultation, click here or call 0808 304 5174 today!
How LASIK Works
The procedure reshapes the cornea to help light rays focus correctly on the retina, resulting in clearer vision. It uses a femtosecond laser to create a thin flap in the cornea and an excimer laser to reshape the tissue beneath. The flap is then placed back for fast healing. By following the correct procedure, our doctor/surgeon is able to provide safe eye care, performed by a complete professional!

What to Expect During the Procedure
Laser eye surgery can be scary, so knowing what to expect can help calm patients down. Here’s a look at parts of the procedure:
