Our staff will take you to the operating theatre.
Your eyes are thoroughly disinfected and covered with a sterile dressing.
Your eyelashes are kept out of the way and your eyes are once again anaesthetised using a local anaesthetic.
Next, we apply an eyelid holder so that you can no longer blink or close your eyes.
Your refraction is treated using the excimer laser. You will be asked to look into a fixation light for 1 second; after that the laser will automatically follow the movement of your eye. So there is no need to worry about having to keep perfectly still.
When your procedure is done, the surgeon will place atherapeutic dressing lens on the eye which will have to remain in situ for one week.
