Laser Eye Surgery Consultation
in London, Ontario

What to Expect During Your Consultation

A laser eye consultation with us is all about you and your vision needs. Our team will take the time to thoroughly assess your eye health, measure your prescription, and check factors like corneal thickness to determine your candidacy. 

We’ll walk you through every step, answer all your questions, and explain your options clearly. With our attention to detail and compassionate approach, you can feel confident about your options to enjoy clearer vision.

Is Laser Eye Surgery
Right for You?

Determining if laser eye surgery is a good option starts with a consultation to assess your unique vision needs. Ideal candidates are typically over 20 years old, with a stable prescription for at least a year and generally healthy eyes.

However, not everyone is suited for this procedure. Factors such as corneal thickness, severe dry eye, certain eye diseases like keratoconus or glaucoma, extreme refractive errors, or uncontrolled diabetes can affect eligibility. Additionally, if you’re under 18 or planning a pregnancy soon, laser eye surgery may need to wait. 

By booking a consultation, we can work together to see if laser vision correction is the right step for you. 

Laser Eye Surgeries
We Co-Manage

If you’re considering laser eye surgery, we’re here to guide you through the options. We co-manage a variety of procedures to help you achieve clear, comfortable vision, from LASIK to SMILE and PRK. 

PRK is a popular laser eye surgery that reshapes the cornea to help improve vision. While recovery takes a little longer than LASIK, it’s great for those with thinner corneas and can significantly reduce your need for glasses or contacts.

Unlike LASIK, PRK removes the cornea’s outer layer (epithelium) before reshaping the underlying tissue with a laser.

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular vision correction procedure designed to address nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. During LASIK, a thin flap is created in the cornea, allowing a laser to reshape the underlying tissue for clearer vision.

LASIK differs from PRK as it creates a flap, rather than removing the outer layer fo the cornea to reshape its surface.

This treatment is designed to be fast, effective, and have a quick recovery time. It can be a great option for those looking to reduce their dependence on glasses or contacts.

Corneal cross-linking (CXL) is designed to slow the progression of keratoconus, a condition that affects the shape and strength of the cornea. 

Using a combination of vitamin B2 (riboflavin) eye drops and UV light, this procedure helps strengthen the cornea by creating new collagen bonds. The drops allow the eye to absorb UV light, leading to a chemical reaction that strengthens the cornea.

It’s normal to have a “corneal haze” for a few weeks after CXL, but then this blurring clears up. For every stage of your treatment, you can count on us to be part of your care team.

SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is a laser eye surgery that provides a precise and minimally invasive solution for vision correction. Unlike LASIK, which requires creating a corneal flap, SMILE uses a femtosecond laser to create a tiny, lens-shaped piece of tissue (called a lenticule) within the cornea. This lenticule is then removed through a small incision, reshaping the cornea to improve vision.

One of the key distinctions of SMILE is its flapless technique. By avoiding the creation of a flap, SMILE reduces the risk of flap-related complications, such as displacement or irritation, and preserves the integrity of the cornea’s surface.

Reflective lens exchange is a surgical option for patients looking to reduce their dependence on glasses or contact lenses. We may recommend it if you’re over 40, dealing with vision changes from presbyopia as well as other refractive errors, and want to move away from glasses.

During this procedure, the eye’s natural lens is replaced with an artificial intraocular lens tailored to your specific vision needs. As a bonus, RLE can eliminate the need for cataract surgery later, since the natural lens has already been replaced.
