Laser eye treatment
There are many different types of laser eye treatment usually for long sightedness, short sightedness and astigmatism. It has become increasingly popular over the years.
The procedure
Before surgery local anaesthetic drops are put in to the eyes to numb them. A laser is then used to shrink, heat and reshape the cornea. The cornea is the transparent top coating of the eye which reflects light. This is a very powerful part of the eye.
