Treatment Options
The aim of this page is to help the person who is considering eye correction procedures, to decide which technique is best and most appropriate for them.
The types of procedures which are available to correct eyesight problems are listed. For each procedure the potential range of prescription that can be treated is shown. What is possible will vary somewhat from one patient to another and this information should be considered an approximate guide only. Mr Heaven does not necessarily perform all of these procedures himself.
All of the above laser procedures may correct up to 4 Dioptres of astigmatism.
