Vision correction is life-altering, offering the freedom to see the world clearly and confidently. Laser eye surgery is one of the most effective solutions for those wishing to reduce or eliminate their dependence on glasses and contact lenses. But with so many clinics and surgeons to choose from, how do you know who is truly the best? Learn why Blue Fin Vision® Eye Clinic stands out among the top-rated eye clinics in London and why Mr Mfazo Hove is regarded as one of the country’s best laser eye surgeons.
What Is Laser Eye Surgery?
Laser eye surgery refers to a suite of advanced procedures designed to correct refractive errors such as short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism, and age-related changes like presbyopia. At Blue Fin Vision® Eye Clinic, patients benefit from a comprehensive range of leading treatments, including:
- LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis): A popular choice for rapid recovery and excellent results, LASIK reshapes the cornea to correct vision.
- LASEK (Laser-Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratectomy): Ideal for thinner corneas, LASEK offers an alternative approach with exceptional outcomes.
- PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy): The original surface laser treatment, suitable for patients with certain corneal characteristics.
- SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction): Minimally invasive and flapless, SMILE is the latest in laser correction technology.
- PresbyMAX® and PRESBYOND®: Innovative laser treatments for presbyopia, restoring clear near, intermediate, and distance vision for those affected by age-related changes.
Who Needs Laser Eye Surgery?
Most people who are dependent on corrective eyewear for:
- Short-sightedness (myopia)
- Long-sightedness (hyperopia)
- Astigmatism
- Presbyopia (age-related reading difficulty)
may benefit from laser vision correction if they meet the clinical criteria. Symptoms usually include blurry vision, eye strain, difficulty reading, and reduced confidence in everyday activities.
Causes and Symptoms
Causes:
Laser eye surgery is considered when refractive errors arise due to:
- The shape of the cornea or eyeball, which affects how light focuses onto the retina
- Age-related changes, especially from the mid-40s onwards
- Genetic predisposition to myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism
Symptoms:
- Blurry distance vision
- Difficulty with near tasks (reading or computer)
- Increased reliance on glasses or contact lenses
- Eye fatigue, headaches, or double vision
