Envision a Glasses-Free Future
If you wear glasses or contact lenses, you’ve probably thought about what life might be like if you didn’t have to. Laser eye surgery can help you wake up in the morning and see your alarm clock clearly!
The first step before laser eye surgery is a comprehensive eye exam and consultation. We’ll begin by taking a detailed look at your eyes and learning more about your health history and lifestyle needs.
We’ll also discuss your expectations for the surgery. Many people achieve 20/20 vision after their procedure, but some still need glasses or contact lenses post-surgery. But surgery almost always decreases reliance on corrective lenses.

To be considered a candidate for laser eye surgery, your eyes must be in good health. Infections, severe dry eye, or recent trauma may mean you’ll need to delay the procedure.
Here are a few other considerations for surgery:
- You must be 18 years of age or older
- Your refractive error must not be too great
- Your prescription must be stable
To find out whether you’re a candidate for laser vision correction, begin with a consultation.
What Is Laser Eye Surgery?
Laser eye surgery is a group of procedures—all just a little bit different—that use a laser to correct refractive errors in your vision.
Technological advances have made several types of laser vision correction possible, but the two most common types performed in Canada are LASIK and PRK.
LASIK
Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) involves a surgeon making a flap in your cornea. This flap is then folded back, and the remaining layers are reshaped with a precision laser.
Once the reshaping is complete, the surgeon will return the flap to its original position, and the cornea will repair itself. Post-surgery surveys report extremely high levels of satisfaction with LASIK.
PRK
Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) involves the surgeon removing the top layer of the cornea altogether, then reshaping the remaining layers.
Healing from PRK takes a little longer than LASIK, with the initial healing process being complete in about 1 week.
Is Laser Surgery Right for Me?
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with laser eye surgery. We will educate you about the risks and will support you in making an informed decision.
