Understanding your vision correction options

Not everyone is suitable for laser or lens-based vision correction surgery, and a consultation will help us determine your options. Following your assessment, we’ll discuss a treatment plan that’s shaped by what’s most clinically suitable for your eyes.

What to expect at ELS

Laser eye surgery is a process, not just a procedure. It is natural to have questions before treatment. We provide clear information about each stage so you can understand what to expect.

STEP 1

1hr free assessment

Assessment

Our optometrists take you through an in-depth suitability exam with diagnostic tests, scans and measurements. Don’t wear your contacts and remember to bring your sunnies (we need to dilate your pupils to get a good look).

Discussion

We discuss your medical history, lifestyle and vision goals. Then we clearly explain your surgery options, expected outcomes, potential side effects and risks. You are encouraged to ask questions during your consultation.

STEP 2

The procedure

Treatment

You’ll have numbing eye drops and a sedative if clinically appropriate. Typically, in less than 30 minutes, your treatment is complete, and after a final eye check, you’ll be able to head home.

STEP 3

Recovery and support

Aftercare

You’ll have detailed guidelines on eye care post-surgery, and eye drops that help promote comfort and healing. We book several follow-up visits to monitor your visual recovery and address any concerns.

Procedure times and recovery vary between individuals. Our team will explain what to expect for your specific situation, and tailor follow-up care and a recovery plan just for you.
