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

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.
