Is laser eye surgery safe?
Yes, laser eye surgery is one of the safest surgical procedures in the world. As with any type of clinical procedure, it will always carry some degree of risk. However, this is very low. Laser eye surgery is one of the most popular elective surgery treatments and Optical Express surgeons past and present have performed more than 2 million eye surgery treatments worldwide.
The screening process for patients is extensive and not everyone we meet will be a suitable candidate for laser eye surgery, and we never proceed unless a patient is suitable. If you’re not a suitable candidate for laser eye treatment, we’ll happily work with you to find a different option that suits you and your vision goals.
Optical Express has an International Medical Advisory Board (IMAB) that is made up of global key opinion leaders within the refractive industry. The IMAB provide clinical governance and oversight, advising all Optical Express eye care professionals on best clinical practices. It certifies all clinical directives and processes followed.
