Laser Eye Surgery Consultation

Is Laser Vision Correction Right for You?

At Academy Optical, our goal is to help you see clearly and comfortably at every stage of life. While glasses and contact lenses work beautifully for many patients, we understand that some people are looking for a longer-term solution to reduce their dependence on eyewear.

Laser eye surgery may be an option for correcting blurry vision and improving how your eyes focus. Our comprehensive laser vision consultations are designed to assess your eyes, your lifestyle, and your visual goals to determine whether you’re a good candidate and which type of procedure may suit you best.

How Can Laser Eye Surgery Help?

Your eye focuses light onto the retina so your brain can create clear images. When the shape of the eye prevents light from focusing properly, it causes what we call a refractive error — leading to blurred vision at certain distances.

Laser vision correction helps reshape the cornea so light focuses more accurately. It may help reduce or correct:

  • Myopia (nearsightedness)
  • Hyperopia (farsightedness)
  • Astigmatism

While no procedure can guarantee perfect 20/20 vision, most patients experience significantly clearer eyesight and greater visual freedom after surgery.

At Academy Optical, we guide you through the process and work closely with trusted surgical centres to help deliver the best possible outcome for your eyes.

What Happens During a Consultation?

Laser consultations are focused, in-depth eye exams. We evaluate:

  • Your prescription and stability
  • Corneal thickness and shape
  • Pupil size
  • Tear film and dry eye status
  • Overall eye health
  • Your work, screen use, hobbies, and visual demands

Certain conditions may affect candidacy, including:

  • Dry eye disease
  • Eye infections or inflammation
  • Corneal irregularities
  • Thin corneas
  • Large pupils in low light
  • Existing eye disease

Co-Management Before & After Surgery

Your care doesn’t stop once surgery is scheduled. Academy Optical provides full co-management, working alongside your eye surgeon before and after your procedure.

After surgery, some temporary side effects are normal while your eyes heal, including:

  • Dryness
  • Irritation
  • Halos or glare at night
  • Light sensitivity
  • Fluctuating or blurry vision for a short period

We monitor your recovery, manage comfort, and make sure healing stays on track. If anything feels off, you won’t be navigating it alone — we’re here to support you every step of the way.
