If you’re thinking about LASIK or have already had the procedure you may hear your doctor mention corneal nerves and healing. Many patients are surprised to learn that the cornea actually contains one of the highest concentrations of nerves in the body.  At Eye Clinic London, we often explain that understanding how these nerves recover can help you make sense of dry eye symptoms and overall visual comfort after surgery. Knowing what’s happening beneath the surface can put you at

Glaucoma eye drops are often the first treatment prescribed to lower eye pressure. Many patients use them for years with good control. However, some people continue to lose vision despite using drops correctly. When drops are no longer enough, it can feel worrying and confusing. You may wonder whether you have done something wrong or whether stronger treatment is risky. Understanding why this happens helps reduce fear. In this article, we explain why eye drops may fail, how glaucoma treatment

If you are considering laser eye surgery, you have probably heard of LASIK, PRK, and LASEK. While LASIK tends to dominate conversations today, LASEK has an interesting history and continues to offer valuable options for certain patients. Understanding why LASEK was developed, how it differs from other procedures, and where it fits in modern practice can help you make a more informed decision about your eye care. Laser vision correction has evolved over several decades, with each new technique aimed

If you are considering LASEK eye surgery, it is natural to want clear, evidence-based information rather than promises or promotional claims. Many patients ask us how successful LASEK really is, what the risks look like in real numbers, and how vision holds up years after treatment. At Eye Clinic London, we believe statistics should inform decisions, not oversell outcomes. LASEK is often discussed alongside LASIK and PRK, which can make the picture confusing. In this article, we focus specifically on

If you or someone close to you has been diagnosed with glaucoma, it is natural to feel overwhelmed by treatment choices. Many patients are told that glaucoma can be managed with laser treatment or surgery, but the difference between the two is not always clearly explained. At Eye Clinic London, we believe understanding why a treatment is chosen is just as important as knowing what the treatment is.Glaucoma is a lifelong condition, and protecting vision requires careful, long-term planning. There

If you are considering LASIK surgery, it is completely normal to wonder how reshaping the cornea might affect the long-term strength of your eye. Many people focus on how well LASIK corrects vision, but fewer understand what happens to the cornea itself after treatment. Corneal biomechanics refers to how strong, flexible, and stable the cornea remains after surgery. We believe understanding this topic helps you make a more confident and informed decision. LASIK has been performed safely for decades, and

Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, commonly known as MIGS, has changed how glaucoma is treated. If you are living with glaucoma, you may have heard this term mentioned as a safer alternative to traditional surgery. Understanding what MIGS involves can help you make informed decisions. Glaucoma treatment focuses on lowering eye pressure to protect the optic nerve. For many years, treatment options were limited to drops, laser therapy, or major surgery. MIGS now fills an important gap between these approaches. In

Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty, commonly known as SLT, has become an important treatment option for glaucoma. If you have been diagnosed with glaucoma, you may be offered SLT either as a first treatment or alongside eye drops. Understanding how it works can help you feel more confident about your options. Glaucoma management focuses on lowering eye pressure to protect the optic nerve. Traditionally, this has been done with daily eye drops, but laser treatment now plays a larger role. SLT offers

LASIK surgery is often seen as a modern medical achievement, but its development spans several decades. If you are considering laser vision correction, understanding how the procedure evolved can provide reassurance. Today’s safety and accuracy are the result of continuous refinement rather than sudden invention. Early refractive surgery was experimental and limited by technology. Surgeons and scientists worked through trial, error, and research to understand how lasers interact with the eye. Each advancement built on lessons from earlier techniques. In

LASIK surgery is often described as a quick procedure, but the science behind it is highly complex. If you are considering laser vision correction, understanding how the laser interacts with your eye can be reassuring. Clear explanations help replace uncertainty with confidence. At its core, LASIK works by reshaping the cornea so that light focuses correctly on the retina. This process relies on precise laser–tissue interaction at a microscopic level. Modern technology allows this reshaping to be extremely accurate and
