Get to know the most common questions and answers regarding laser vision correction!

A procedure is only carried out if the defect has not changed for at least a year before the planned surgery. Operating on a stable defect guarantees that it will not return after the surgery.

Lasers used for vision correction do not penetrate deep into the tissues of the eye; they have a very limited and tightly controlled range of action. Unfortunately, as with any surgery, intra- and post-operative complications can occur. The overall risk is 1-2% (ranging from mild to rare significant deterioration of vision).
The risk of such complications decreases with careful qualification, operator experience and proper postoperative management.

The result and the possibilities of correction depend on the preliminary examinations carried out, the age, and the needs of the patient. Satisfactory results can be achieved with the above defect if a compromise solution is used for near and far vision.

An unsuccessful refractive lens exchange requires an individual approach.
It may be necessary to replace the lens with another one.

Laser vision correction does not cure ametropia.

The floaters effect is not related to laser vision correction, but to changes in the vitreous body.

Depending on the type and fit, contact lenses can deform the cornea and alter refractive results. So it is recommended that contact lens wear be discontinued a few to several days prior to corneal imaging.

That’s true. We change the refraction on the cornea; we do not reshape the whole eyeball. The inside of the eye remains the same, so if the condition of the eye’s fundus is the reason for restrictions in playing sports, these restrictions will remain regardless of the type of correction performed.

No, eye drops are used for a certain period of time after surgery, depending on the type of surgery.

In most cases, the procedure is performed once in a lifetime and the effect is permanent. However, the treatment does not prevent other eye diseases.

The procedure is painless – the patient is anaesthetised locally using eye drops. What is more, the latest methods of laser vision correction ensure that the patient begins to feel comfortable already within 5-6 hours after the procedure.

For vision correction, patients are anaesthetised using eye drops – general anaesthesia is not required for this type of procedure.

After vision correction, patients can become pregnant and give birth naturally without any problems (provided there are no other contraindications).

Yes, both surface-based laser vision correction procedures (such as EBK and PRK) as well as the state-of-the-art Smile procedure are intended for those involved in competitive and contact sports.

Usually, vision correction is performed on both eyes during a single procedure – the eyes are treated one after the other.

Laser vision correction is considered one of the safest medical procedures. Side effects are usually temporary and the complication rate is around 1%.
