The Most Frequently Asked Questions About Laser eye Surgery
As laser eye surgery has become safe and more sophisticated it has become ever more popular. However, because of some of these sophistications there are a lot of common questions asked. Below are several of the questions frequently asked at LASIK Surgery:
Will I need a consultation and why will I need one?
An eye-care professional will always need to assess your current prescription and the condition of your eyes. This is the only way to be eligible for laser eye surgery. At Ultralase consultations are free and it gives any customer the opportunity to ask any questions.
If I’ve been refused laser eye surgery in the past can I be reconsidered?
Those with particularly high prescriptions for glassed on contact lenses may have been told they were ineligible for laser eye surgery. However, techniques have developed as quite a pace in recent years, and it is worth investigating via a free appointment.
Does the NHS or private health insurance cover laser eye surgery?
Currently laser eye surgery is not provided by the NHS and is not covered under most private health insurance policies. Going to a private clinic is currently the only way to get laser eye surgery.
Are there age restrictions with laser eye surgery?
As with most people the body develops at different rates for different people. In most cases the normal growth of the eye completes at the age of 21. It is recommended that a patient be at least 21 before having any surgical treatment.
