As part of our natural aging process, our eyebrows descend over time. You may notice loose skin around your eyes, fat pads that droop down, and fine lines in the corner of your eyes. At UELC, the browpexy procedure will give you a subtle lift of the central and outer eyebrow. This will open the eyelid giving you a more youthful and rested look.
This procedure is commonly combined with blepharoplasty (upper or lower eyelid surgery).
Schedule an appointment to discuss if this is an option for you to gain your desired image.
Your eligibility for Lasik will be determined upon your consultation. Patients with certain degenerative eye disorders, a history of aggressive scar formation post skin incision or autoimmune disorders (Lupus, rheumatoid arthritis) are not eligible for surgery.
If you are considering laser eye surgery but fear that you may be too old, you’ll be pleased to know that there is no age limit. Once you’ve reached the minimum recommended age, you can undergo laser vision correction at any point in your life. While you are never too old for this procedure, there is a lower age limit requirement. It is not recommended for those under the age of 18, as their eyes are still developing, and their eyesight will likely continue to change as they age. After 18, surgery may be considered for those under 21 as long as they have had a consistent prescription for two or more years.
Topical Anesthetics (eye drops) are given to the patient. This aids in numbing the eye during the procedure so the patient feels no pain. When the vacuum ring is applied by the surgeon, there is a sensation of slight pressure experienced by the patient just before his/her vision fades away for a few moments. Both Laser and precision flap – making instrument don’t cause any pain. Many patients experience a mild sensation similar to wearing dirty contact lens or opening the eye in chlorinated water during a swim. These sensations subside after a few hours.
This operations entails quick visual recovery. The day of the surgery, most patients are able to attain good vision and find their eyes feel fairly normal. However, higher prescriptions can take up to two – three months to improve and attain the best vision. Adjustments to the surgery called enhancements can be done if necessary.
Lasik eye surgery is a popular, tried-and-true method for perfecting your vision and can help you leave your cumbersome glasses behind. Avoid fogging lenses during the winter, keeping up with frame styles, and pain on the bridge of your nose. Lasik surgery will take away these annoyances for good.
The surgery typically takes less than 10 minutes per eye and you can notice vision improvements as soon as the next day. Your vision will continue to improve over the next two weeks.
Both procedures are safe, comfortable and an effective solutions to many vision problems including myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia.
Refractive Lens Exchange is virtually the same as cataract surgery, which is the most common surgical procedure in the world. After making small incisions in the cornea and using ultrasound to remove your natural lens, your surgeon inserts an intraocular lens (IOL) into the empty capsule.
RLE and LLE are lens-based refractive procedures (as opposed to Laser Vision Correction, which is cornea-based refractive procedures). RLE and LLE are recommended for patients who are over 40 years old and wish to reduce their dependence on reading glasses as a result of the ageing changes of the natural lens. Both procedures can improve conditions including myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, as well as presbyopia.
UltraView ReLACS™ gives your surgeon the ability to create custom blade-free incisions in the cornea to make the oval shape of the cornea rounder. Reducing astigmatism improves your natural vision and can reduce your dependence on glasses.
UltraView ReLACS™ softens the hard cataract lens allowing your surgeon to remove it with greater ease and more importantly, reducing (or eliminating in some cases) the amount of ultrasound energy applied inside the eye. This results in less eye swelling, faster healing, and as suggested by a recent study1 a distinct visual benefit in those undergoing UltraView ReLACS™.
The first step of UltraView ReLACS™ is the acquisition of high-definition 3-D images of the eye using an OCT (optical coherence tomography). These images are then used to guide the femtosecond laser to make precise, surgeon-programmed incisions in the eye to enhance or replace several critical steps performed during cataract surgery.
Refractive Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery (ReLACS) is a major breakthrough in the way cataract surgery is performed. This innovative technique brings an unprecedented level of precision and safety to a surgery that is traditionally performed manually by hand and with ultrasound energy.
Sagging skin that interrupts the contour of the upper eyelid and blocks one’s vision are signs of aging upper & lower lids. Other signs may include: 1. Puffiness or bags under the eyes; 2. Excess skin or fine wrinkles on the lower eyelid; 3. Drooping skin on the lower eyelids.
Ideal candidates for eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) are individuals with visible signs of aging around the eyes, such as drooping lids, puffiness, or excess skin that affects appearance or vision. Candidates should be in good health, have realistic expectations, and seek a long-term cosmetic solution. For those not seeing results with non-surgical methods, blepharoplasty offers a lasting option to refresh the eye area.
Upper eyelid surgery removes excess skin and fat to reduce drooping and improve vision, giving a more youthful look. Lower lid blepharoplasty targets puffiness and wrinkles under the eyes, reducing bags and creating a refreshed appearance. Both procedures can be combined for full rejuvenation.
Blepharoplasty results are typically long-lasting. For most patients, upper eyelid surgery can last 5-7 years or more, while lower eyelid surgery often provides permanent results, as the fat and skin removed rarely return. However, natural aging continues, and some may choose additional treatments later on.

PRK and LASIK are very similar, however, they are difference in one major way. During LASIK, a flap is created on the topmost layer of the cornea which allows the cornea to be reshaped before the flap is set back down. During PRK, on the other hand, the epithelium is removed to allow the laser to reshape the cornea. This tissue will grow back as part of the healing process.
Ideal candidates for PRK are people who would like to achieve a great vision without reliance on corrective lenses. They experience refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism).
Eighteen years old and above is an ideal age range. Your general health and cornea must be healthy.
Some discomfort or mild pain can be expected for around 3 days following PRK Laser Vision Surgery. Over-the-counter pain medications are effective for pain management in most cases.
The Dry Eye Clinic at U Eye Laser Cosmetic (UELC) is designed to properly diagnose, find the cause, classify the severity and treat all aspects of dry eye. This clinic is very unique in the GTA as it provides a multi-specialty approach of your indiviualized dry eye management. The corner stone of treatment at the Dry Eye Clinic is UltraView DEL.
Abnormal or deficient tear quality and/or quantity can cause dry eye. Tears are made up of 3 layers: lipid, aqueous, and mucin. The meibomian gland in the eyelid produces the lipid layer - and its function decreases as we age. In addition to this there are many other causes that may further aggravate dry eye (eg. surgery, medication, hormonal change, medical diseases etc.)
