Vision Correction for very high prescriptions
Laser Eye Surgery is also an increasingly viable option for people with prescriptions that have struggled to find a suitable form of vision correction.
With newer treatments like SMILE, even very high prescriptions can be safely treated.
One of these myths in the Laser Eye Surgery world is that treatment is not an option if you have a very strong prescription.
At Laser Vision SA we are able to treat patients with very high or strong prescriptions. We’re able to do this due to a combination of world-class technology and the experience of our surgeon. Even if in the past you have been told your prescription was too great or strong, please contact us to see if we can help you be a vision hero, regaining your lost vision with a vision correction procedure.
Treatment options for very high prescriptions
High myopia (short sighedness) and high hyperopia (longsightedness), with or without astigmatism can also be treated with laser eye surgery. The most common types of laser eye surgery for myopia and hyperopia are:
- SMILE Pro with OcuLign (Minimally invasive no flap laser eye surgery): The least invasive vision correction technology for myopia involves creating a and very superficial 2mm short incision in the surface of your cornea and removing a very thin amount of cornea to correct astigmatism, treating from – 10.0 to +6.0 D
- LASIK (Laser Assisted In-situ Keratomileusis): This procedure involves creating a thin flap in the cornea, reshaping the underlying corneal tissue with a laser to correct the refractive error, and then repositioning the flap, treating from -11.0 +7 Dioptres
- PHAKIC INTRAOCULAR LENSES (IOL). Implantation of these behind the pupil can treat even higher levels of myopia and hyperopia in many patients.
- CLEAR LENS EXTRACTION AND IOL IMPLANTATION where the natural lens behind your pupil is replaced with an artificial lens, in a procedure similar to cataract surgery.
- COMBINED LASER AND IOL IMPLANTATIONS have treated extreme myopia and hyperopia very successfully
