LASIK is a surgical treatment for both short-sighted and long-sighted people and those with an astigmatism.
Procedures Available
At Optical Express, we offer two different laser eye surgery treatments; LASIK and LASEK, depending on your suitability and requirements. Options for surgery treatment are either a conventional or femtosecond IntraLase procedure, as well as the option of choosing to have an Advanced CustomVue Wavefront treatment.
LASEK
LASEK is a surgical treatment for short-sightedness, long-sightedness and astigmatism and is used mostly for people who have thin or flat corneas.
Advanced CustomVue Wavefront
Advanced CustomVue Wavefront treatment is used to measure imperfections in your eye 25 times more precisely than standard methods to provide a tailored treatment.
IntraLase
A special laser is used to create the protective flap as part of the procedure, improving healing time and enabling faster recovery rates.
Alternative Procedures
Not everyone is suitable for laser eye surgery but fortunately there is a well established, alternative solution.

I previously used the Nidek system but found that the results were less than optimal in many patients. Since using the STAR S4 IR™ Excimer Laser System at Optical Express, I say with confidence that this technology is the best and out-performs any other system, including the Nidek. The results are phenomenal.
