LASIK

LASIK corrects short-sightedness, long-sightedness, and astigmatism using precision laser technology. Our all-laser customised approach creates a corneal flap for reshaping the eye's focusing power. Patients typically achieve 20/20 vision within 24 hours, with minimal discomfort and rapid recovery.

PRK

PRK treats similar vision issues as LASIK but removes the corneal epithelium rather than creating a flap. Ideal for patients with thinner corneas, this procedure offers comparable long-term results with slightly extended initial recovery time compared to LASIK.

Lens Replacement

Lens replacement surgery replaces the eye's natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens. This permanent solution addresses severe refractive errors and early cataracts, offering independence from glasses through multifocal or toric lens options.

ICL

ICL involves inserting a customised collamer lens between the iris and natural lens. This reversible procedure corrects high myopia without removing corneal tissue, making it ideal for patients unsuitable for laser-based treatments.

Cataract Surgery

Cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and replaces them with premium intraocular lenses. Using advanced multifocal implants, we restore clear vision while correcting pre-existing refractive errors during this routine day-case procedure.

Amazing Hospital and staff. I searched high and low for a suitable and professional Laser eye specialist for my wife and came across LaserSight Essex situated in BMI Southend private hospital. We booked and attended the consultation with the surgeon and our coordinator Lisa and both my wife and I were pleased with the treatment being offered as well as the hospital setting as a whole. The staff were all extremely polite and made her feel very calm and welcomed.

Once surgery was swiftly carried out, the post care was second to none and have since, even a year on have made my wife feel she can turn to LaserSight Essex any time. From being dependent on her glasses, to now having 20/20 vision is a blessing and peace of mind for me! Thank you all! Shabs of BBC's Supercar Superfam.

I'd always struggled with Contact Lenses and Glasses and decided in January 2021 to have my eyes Lasered. I can't speak highly enough of all the Team at LaserSight. Their Pre & Post Op Care has been fantastic. I'd recommend to anyone thinking of improving their Vision to contact the Team.

LaserSight Essex has everything needed for best results. The surgeons are experienced and highly skilled, the equipment is top notch and the hospital is lovely. Highly recommend laser or treatments for eyesight problems caused by ageing!
