Frequent questions
Depending on availability and after a consultation with Dr Fraenkel, patients can usually have the procedure done within 1-3 weeks after their consult.
At Laser Vision SA we offer all three generations of vision correction. 1st generation PRK/ also known as surface laser, 2nd generation Lasik and 3rd generation SMILE: the most advanced in Laser vision technology.
Laser vision correction can be performed where appropriate on patients from age 18 to 80.
Costing varies depending on the type of procedure that is recommended. You can expect to pay between $2,500 per eye - $3,400 per eye.
For patients under 45 years of age this is very rare. If there are any unusual features of your examination making this more possible, you would be fully informed.
For patients over 45 years of age, due to presbyopia (loss of near vision without glasses), whilst most far and close tasks are done without glasses, extremely far or close vision might occasionally need glasses, like driving at night in the rain or threading a needle.
No. Drops numb your eye. They work better than you can imagine. You may feel a little water or gentle pressure around your eye but pain is rare. Most patients say laser vision correction was more weird but more quick and comfortable than they imagined.
The 10 year studies following 1000s of patients show that for the vast majority modern laser vision correction does NOT wear off. This idea relates to the very early days of laser vision correction more than 20 years ago.
