Question 2

How do I know which treatment is right for me?

Accepted Answer

During your consultation, Dr. Bardan will perform a detailed eye examination and diagnostic imaging to assess your vision, eye health and lifestyle needs. Based on this, he will recommend the most suitable treatment option.

Question 3

Am I suitable for laser eye surgery (LASIK)?

Accepted Answer

You may be a candidate if you:

• Are aged 18 or over
 • Have a stable vision prescription
 • Do not have severe dry eye or corneal issues
 If LASIK isn’t suitable, alternatives such as SMILE, PRK, Phakic IOLs or Lens Exchange may be recommended.

Question 4

What is the difference between cataract surgery and Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)?

Accepted Answer

• Cataract surgery replaces a cloudy natural lens due to age or degeneration.
 • RLE is performed to improve vision and reduce dependence on glasses—even if no cataract is present.
Both procedures use similar techniques but have different goals.

Question 5

How long does recovery take after eye surgery?

Accepted Answer

Recovery varies by treatment but typically:
 • LASIK: 24–48 hours
 • Cataract Surgery / RLE: A few days
 • Phakic IOL Surgery: 1–2 days
 • Corneal Transplant: Several weeks
Full recovery guidance will be provided during your aftercare plan.

Question 6

Will I still need glasses after surgery?

Accepted Answer

Many patients no longer need glasses following procedures such as LASIK, RLE or Premium Lens Implants. However, this depends on your treatment choice and overall vision health. Your goals will be discussed during the consultation.

Question 7

Is eye surgery painful?
