Can I get lazer eye surgery through the NHS?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

It depends on what eye condition you have.

Laser surgery is available on the NHS for eye conditions that, without treatment, can lead to loss of vision. However, it’s not available for conditions that can be treated successfully in other ways.

Eye conditions that laser surgery can treat
Laser eye surgery can help treat refractive (focusing) errors such as:

?short-sightedness (myopia)
?long-sightedness (hyperopia)
?astigmatism, where the cornea (front surface of the eye) is not perfectly curved, causing blurred vision
Laser surgery can also treat other eye conditions such as:

?diabetic retinopathy (damage caused by blood vessels forming on the retina at the back of the eye)
?thickening of the lens capsule (the ‘pocket’ that the lens sits in) after cataract surgery
?some types of wet macular degeneration
?some specific diseases of the cornea, such as recurrent corneal erosions and corneal epithelium dystrophies
