UELC proudly offers the latest cataract and vision correction surgery innovation: Light Adjustable Lenses (LAL). These cutting-edge Light Adaptive Lenses provide unparalleled precision and customization, allowing patients to achieve optimal vision correction even after surgery.
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.

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.
Abnoral 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 addution to this there are many other causes that may further aggravate dry eye (eg. surgery, medication, hormonal change, medical diseases etc.)

The unique advantage of Light Adjustable Intraocular Lenses lies in their ability to be fine-tuned post-surgery. This technology allows patients to adjust their vision, offering a level of personalization that traditional intraocular lenses (IOLs) cannot match.
Light Adjustable Cataract Lenses are implanted during cataract surgery, like traditional IOLs. However, what sets them apart is their ability to be adjusted after implantation using a specialized UV light treatment. This allows for precise adjustments based on the patient's healing process and personal vision preferences.
After your Light Adjustable Cataract Surgery, your vision can be modified as needed over a series of painless, light-based adjustments. This personalized approach ensures that your vision is exactly how you want it, offering unparalleled control over your outcome.
While traditional IOLs provide static results, Light Adjustable Lens Surgery provides flexibility and precision post-surgery. This means no compromises—whether dealing with complex vision conditions or simply wanting the best possible outcome, Light Adjustable Lenses outperform conventional IOLs by adapting to your needs after the procedure.
