Can you have laser eye surgery?

The results of our expert assessment will determine if it is safe for you to have laser eye surgery.

Determining your suitability for laser eye surgery

Your suitability for laser eye surgery in Sydney depends on several key factors:

Prescription stability – Your vision should be stable for at least 12 months
Corneal thickness and shape – Adequate corneal tissue is essential for safe treatment
Age considerations – Most Sydney surgeons prefer patients to be at least 21 years old
General eye health – Conditions like advanced glaucoma or cataracts may affect eligibility
Medical history – Certain autoimmune diseases or medications may impact healing

Our expert optometrists carefully analyse all assessment data to determine whether laser eye surgery is appropriate for you, always prioritising the health and long-term wellbeing of your eyes.

Sydney’s leading guidance and surgical referrals

Following your assessment at our clinic, our expert optometrists will:

Explain your results in easy-to-understand terms
Discuss realistic expectations based on clinical evidence and real Sydney patient experiences
Address any questions or concerns about laser eye surgery procedures available in Sydney
If suitable, refer you to one of Sydney’s highly skilled laser eye surgeons with proven track records of consistent outcomes

We take a cautious approach to surgical recommendations, ensuring patients receive honest, evidence-based advice rather than a sales pitch.

Important considerations for laser eye surgery patients

Even with successful laser eye surgery in Sydney, it’s important to maintain realistic expectations:

Reading glasses may still be necessary – Laser surgery doesn’t prevent age-related presbyopia
Results vary between individuals – While many Sydney patients achieve 20/20 vision, this outcome cannot be guaranteed
Temporary side effects – Some patients experience dry eyes, glare, or halos temporarily
Ongoing eye care remains essential – Regular eye examinations are still needed throughout your lifetime

Our commitment to patients extends far beyond the assessment process. We provide comprehensive follow-up care to ensure optimal long-term outcomes.
