Laser Eye Surgery Options
LASIK
Laser Eye Surgery
Our most popular treatment, LASIK combines speed, comfort, and rapid recovery. Ideal for treating short-sightedness, long-sightedness, and astigmatism, LASIK reshapes your cornea with precision, offering remarkable vision improvements and a swift return to daily activities.
PRK
Laser Eye Surgery
Perfect for patients with thinner corneas, PRK is an excellent alternative to LASIK. While the recovery period is slightly longer, the outcomes are equally impressive, refining your vision with exceptional care and precision.
LASEK
Laser Eye Surgery
Like PRK, ‘No Touch’ LASEK is well-suited for individuals with active lifestyles or thinner corneas, reshaping the corneal surface to correct vision issues. It’s an ideal option for those who may not be candidates for LASIK. This procedure offers the added benefit of reduced risk of flap-related complications.
SMILE
Laser Eye Surgery
The latest advancement in laser vision correction, SMILE offers a minimally invasive approach with quick recovery times. Specialising in correcting short-sightedness and astigmatism, SMILE uses a single laser for precise corneal adjustments, reducing discomfort and the risk of dry eyes post-surgery.
PresbyMAX®
Laser Eye Surgery
PresbyMAX® is a state-of-the-art, minimally invasive laser eye surgery for presbyopia correction. Unlike traditional LASIK, which corrects a single focal point, PresbyMAX® creates multiple focal zones on the cornea, enabling sharp vision at near, intermediate, and far distances – all in a single, swift procedure.
PRESBYOND®
Laser Eye Surgery
PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision is an advanced ZEISS procedure for presbyopia that extends the range of focus in both eyes. By creating a unique “Blend Zone,” it enables clear, binocular vision at all distances – near, intermediate, and far.

The Morning After…
I’ve been waiting to hit the one month mark before writing this review because I wanted to feel out the full experience and road to recovery so I can give my best help and advice to people considering it all. I’ve been absolutely THRILLED with everything and particularly with choosing Mr Mfazo Hove as my surgeon.
Pre operation and consultation was attentive and all explained very well to me. He showed me a video which at the time I sort of thought I’d rather have not watched but on reflection I think it was valuable to really have me understand and know what’s going on both during the surgery and just in my general decision making. He answered all and any questions and never felt rushed or like he was trying to get through a “process” as quick as possible.
The surgery went very well. He was confident and reassuring without pandering too much or giving too much weight to my nerves. It felt swift but safe. The operation was 20-30 minutes to my memory but that’s just a guess. It was certainly fairly quick. I was very nervous inside and the operation is certainly peculiar and a little uncomfortable conceptually but physically it was painless and at worst there was mild discomfort with your eye being held open. None of the laser or flap removal was painful (I got LASIK).
Already post op I could see but with blurred vision and I found it far more comfortable to keep my eyes closed and rest them. I went to bed that night and woke up to already have impeccable vision. It was less than 12 hours later and I went in for my check up and was reading better than 20/20 on my right eye and at 20/20 on my left eye (or maybe the other way round but the point is it was bloody good!).
The weeks that followed were interesting because, probably partially to do with such exceptional early results, I had some frustrations with slight blurriness here and there. I went in to see Mr Hove and he reassured me that it was just to do with dryness and a surface issue. It was reassuring to be able to follow up with him in person and be sure and, as predicted, my eyes are now feeling really solid at the month mark.
Overall, I feel the surgery is somewhat of a miracle. Of course we just live in incredible times medically but conceptually the fact I’ve been afforded perfect sight at the age of 30 having been wearing glasses all day everyday for a decade is the stuff of miracles. Looking forward to my (probably) final checkup and thanking Mr Hove as I go on to hopefully enjoy my vision for years to come.
Would recommend – 5 stars!!

FAQs
What is laser eye surgery?
Laser eye surgery at Blue Fin Vision® Eye Clinic utilises advanced laser technology to reshape the cornea, correcting vision issues such as near-sightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, enabling many to reduce or eliminate their dependence on glasses or contacts.
Is laser eye surgery safe?
Yes, laser eye surgery is safe. Our eye clinics are equipped with the latest technology and our surgeons are highly experienced in laser eye surgery procedures, adhering to the highest safety standards.
Will laser eye surgery hurt?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic drops, ensuring complete comfort. Most patients experience no pain during surgery, only mild pressure sensations. Post-operative discomfort is minimal and easily managed.
What is the best laser eye surgery procedure?
The best procedure depends on your individual eyes, prescription, and lifestyle. LASIK is most popular for rapid recovery, SMILE for minimal invasiveness, and PRK/LASEK for thinner corneas. Our experts will recommend the optimal treatment during your consultation.
Can I have laser eye surgery if I’m over 40?
Absolutely. PRESBYOND® and PresbyMAX® are specifically designed for patients over 40 experiencing presbyopia (age-related reading difficulties), offering freedom from reading glasses.
How long does the laser eye surgery procedure take?
Each laser eye procedure typically takes only a few minutes per eye. Our efficient and effective laser eye surgery ensures that you can return to your normal activities swiftly.
How long does laser eye surgery last?
Laser eye surgery provides permanent vision correction. The reshaping of your cornea is permanent. However, natural age-related changes (like presbyopia after 40) may still occur.
How much does laser eye surgery cost?
Costs for laser eye surgery can vary based on the specific procedure and your vision correction needs. We invite you to contact our laser eye surgery clinic for a detailed consultation where we can provide tailored information on pricing and payment options.
What are the potential side effects of laser eye surgery?
While complications are rare, some patients may experience temporary side effects like dry eyes or light sensitivity. These typically resolve quickly. Rest assured; we follow up closely with our patients to manage any discomfort.
