Laser eye surgery — did you know?

Fri, Mar 23, 2012

Did you know that laser eye surgery was first introduced in the 1970s and is now one of the most advanced and commonly performed surgeries worldwide with some 30 million people worldwide opting for this life changing procedure? Leading consultant ophthalmic surgeon and medical director at Optilase, Wayne Crewe-Brown, commented: “The life changing results of laser eye surgery are evident almost immediately and the most common response from our patients is always ‘why didn’t I do it years ago!’ and to wonder at how pain-free the experience actually is. While it is a very popular procedure, I would advise all would-be patients to do their research and only visit the most well-respected and experienced of laser eye clinics.”

Optilase was one of the first independent clinics in the country and has state-of-the-art clinics in Dublin, Cork, Waterford, Belfast, and Derry, and more recently clinics in Galway, Longford, and Athlone. The experienced team of surgeons have carried out more than 40,000 laser eye surgery procedures, and are leaders in their field in Ireland, Europe, and worldwide.
