Which treatment is best for me?

Prior to a treatment, a thorough examination and consultation will always take place, in order to determine whether or not the patient is suitable for laser eye treatment. Safety and diagnostics are our absolute priorities in the preliminary examination. In around 15% of cases, the examination reveals that a patient is not suitable for LASIK treatment. In most cases, these patients will be offered another solution to correct their refractive error (see table).
