Free yourself from glasses and contacts with laser eye surgery in Brussels

Laser eye surgery is a treatment in which the shape of the cornea is adjusted using a laser beam. With this advanced technique, refractive errors such as nearsightedness(myopia), farsightedness(hyperopia) and cylindrical defects(astigmatism) can be corrected. Common methods of laser eye surgery include Femto-LASIK, SMILE, and PRK/LASEK, all of which provide a safe and effective solution to enable a life without glasses or contact lenses.

In laser eye surgery, Femto-LASIK treatment is performed in several steps. First, a femto-laser creates a thin flap in the upper layer of the cornea. Next, an Excimer laser adjusts the shape of the cornea to correct refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism. After treatment, the flap is carefully replaced. The procedure is quick and efficient, with a treatment time of only 5 minutes per eye.

A laser treatment, such as Femto-LASIK, PRK, or SMILE, is a quick and efficient procedure. The treatment itself takes only 3 to 6 minutes per eye, depending on the technique and complexity of the correction.

The entire process, including preparation and aftercare, usually takes about 2 hours. This includes:

• Preparation of the eyes.
• Application of the laser treatment.
• Monitoring by the ophthalmologist after the procedure.

The quick treatment time makes laser eye surgery a popular choice for people who want to improve their vision without lengthy procedures

Yes, laser eye surgery is a safe and proven treatment method. Modern techniques such as Femto-LASIK, SMILE, and PRK are used worldwide and have a high success rate.

The procedure is performed by experienced ophthalmologists and advanced equipment that works with extreme precision. Prior to treatment, a thorough examination is performed to determine your suitability, which further enhances safety.

Complications are rare and most patients recover quickly with permanent improvements in their vision.

The best laser eye surgery method depends on your specific situation, such as the strength of your eyes, the thickness of your cornea and your lifestyle. Here are the three main methods:

• Femto-LASIK:
  • Most widely used method, fast recovery, suitable for most refractive errors.
  •  Best choice for normal eye health.
• PRK/LASEK:
  • No flap, suitable for thin corneas or specific occupations.
  • Longer recovery time, but similar results.
• SMILE:
  • Minimal flapless procedure, faster recovery and less risk of dry eyes.
  • Ideal for myopia and mild astigmatism.

A preliminary examination determines which method is best for your eyes.

You can have your eyes lasered from the age of 18, provided your eye strength has remained stable for at least 1 to 2 years.

Stable eye strength is important to ensure that the results of treatment are lasting. In younger patients, laser treatments are not recommended because the eyes are still developing and the strength can change. A thorough preliminary examination determines your suitability for laser eye surgery.

Recovery after laser eye surgery varies by person and treatment method:

• Immediately after treatment: Your vision may be blurry and your eyes feel irritated. This usually improves within a few hours.
• Within 1 to 2 days: With Femto-LASIK, vision is often mostly restored.
• Within a few weeks: With PRK or SMILE, it may take a little longer for your vision to be completely stable.

You can usually resume light activities after 1 to 2 days, but full recovery and stabilization of vision may take several months. Your eye doctor will perform checkups to monitor your progress.
