Refractive laser eye surgery describes eye surgery done to improve the refractive or focusing ability of the eye and reduce or eliminate the need for contact lenses or glasses. Eyesite eye surgeon Dr Simon Levy performs Lasik and Lasek with the latest modern eye surgery laser technology, the brand-new Alcon wavelight Refractive Suite featuring the world’s fastest refractive eye laser the EX500 to ensure you enjoy the best results at our London and Greater London based surgery locations.
The latest and most advanced diagnostic and treatment laser eye surgery technology is at your disposal at our London centres. At your free initial consultation, the most thorough eye examination you have ever had will be done with the latest and most sophisticated diagnostic equipment such as the Galilei cornea topographer and iTrace Wavefront analyser. For your customised all-laser Wavefront laser eye treatment the finest technology available will be used – the Alcon Wavelight Refractive Suite with the FS200 Femtosecond laser to create a perfect cornea flap working alongside the Wavelight EX500 Excimer laser, which is the fastest refractive eye laser in the world, to treat your glasses prescription.

Lasik and Lasek are two ways to perform laser eye surgery. There are important differences between them and Eyesite will help you choose which will benefit you most.
Lasik eye surgery requires that a thin flap of cornea is cut with a femtosecond laser, the flap is lifted and the cornea tissue underneath reshaped with an excimer eye laser to correct your vision problem – short or long sight, reading glasses etc.
Lasek eye surgery is a surface laser eye technology in which the very thin lining layer (known as the ‘cornea epithelium’) is folded back allowing an excimer laser to reshape the cornea tissue directly underneath. The thin surface layer is then replaced. Lasek (also described by its older name PRK or a newer term Epi-Lasik) is ideal for patients with thinner corneas, small glasses prescriptions or who need laser eye surgery after cataract surgery to reduce their need for spectacles.
