What is it?
Overview
Laser vision correction, often referred to as laser eye surgery, is the term used to describe a group of procedures that use excimer lasers and/or femtosecond lasers to reshape the front surface of the eye (known as the cornea). Reshaping the cornea with laser vision correction procedures can remove the need for glasses and/or contact lenses to see well.
The Benefits Are Clear
- Quick procedures that normally take less than 15 minutes per eye
- Little downtime with improvements to vision seen almost immediately for most
- Increased freedom from glasses and/or contact lenses
How does laser eye surgery work?
Laser vision correction improves your vision by reshaping the cornea (front clear window of your eye) with a laser. Our laser procedures are performed in our dedicated theatre at the clinic. There are different methods of laser vision correction, and your advanced visual analysis exam will guide us to the most appropriate procedure for your eyes and your lifestyle.

What To Expect
The first step is to book a consultation with one of our Optometrists. During this appointment you will undergo a number of tests and scans and your visual needs will be assessed. After reviewing your tests and scans, the Optometrist will discuss possible surgery options and advise which procedure you are most suitable for. This appointment will last up to 2.5 hours.
Please note: Your pupils will be dilated so you will be unable to drive for the remainder of the day following the clinic appointment. Contact lenses must be left out 2 days (soft lenses) and 3 weeks (for hard lenses) prior to an evaluation as they distort the natural shape of the cornea.
Transparent, consultant-reported outcomes: We publish our outcomes, benchmarked against international standards. If outcomes matter, they should be visible (Rolling 24-month data, updated monthly)
On the day of surgery, while the procedure only takes 15 minutes per eye (and seconds for the laser) you will be in the clinic for approximately 2 hours. This allows time to complete additional pre-op scans, answer any questions you may have, discuss and sign your consent form and go through your postoperative instructions before your procedure. When your procedure is over, you will relax in our recovery room for approximately 30 minutes. You will be checked at the slit-lamp microscope by one of the clinical team before leaving the clinic. We ask that you have a family member/ friend collect you at the clinic after your procedure.
We advise all patients to go home and rest on the day of their procedure. Medication packs are provided and they contain antibiotic drops as well as pain relief should you need it. Most patients find the procedure comfortable with only mild discomfort for the remainder of the day. You will return to the clinic for post-operative visits as per the below schedules:
- LASIK - Day 1, 6 weeks, 6 months
- Surface Ablation LASEK/ TE-PRK/ PRK - Day 1 (phone call), day 6, 4 - 10 weeks, 6 months
I am three days post LASIK treatment and couldn’t be happier. The Wellington Clinic and Dr. Cummings came highly recommended from a friend, and from my very first consultation I knew I was in safe and expert hands. Dr. Cummings and the whole Team are so kind and caring, providing such a positive experience. The level of care and service from the very first phone call to the treatment itself and the aftercare is second to none. If you are considering Laser Eye Surgery, I couldn’t recommend this clinic more.
From the very beginning, the entire staff was genuinely kind, accommodating and attentive. You can really tell they know exactly what they’re doing, which gave me a lot of confidence throughout the whole process, especially since this was my first surgery ever. I’m especially grateful to the wonderful team I met — Emily, Megan, Maddi, Dr. Shannon, and Dr. Logan. They were all so wonderful and made me feel very well cared for every step of the way. I am writing this a few weeks after undergoing SMILE laser surgery and I couldn’t be happier with my vision!
From the first call it was professional. The receptionist was informative, knowledgeable and polite. When I arrived they had refreshments available which I happily enjoyed as I had driven up from Kerry. My apptm was to see if I was suitable for Laser eye. Unfortunately I wasn't but I was happy that after the tests I was told straight and it was explained clearly if I had it done I wouldn't get a perfect result. We went through all the different lenses to see what the result would be, but the doctor told me that none of there treatments would help me at this time. The doctor said that on 5 years time when my eyes had deteriorated more I should get them checked again.
I chose Wellington Eye Clinic because I felt completely comfortable with the credentials of the clinic, the team, and especially Mr. Cummings. The surgery was quick and straightforward, I had no pain or discomfort at all. Afterwards, you relax in a lovely recovery room before your final check-up. The biggest change for me is being able to see clearly first thing in the morning without reaching for contact lenses. I would 100% recommend Wellington Eye Clinic. Mr. Cummings runs his own clinic, has a phenomenal track record, is internationally recognised, and I truly felt in the safest hands with him and his team.
I am 5 weeks post LASIK and I can say it has been the best thing I’ve done. I researched a lot of clinics before committing to Wellington Eye Clinic. I could not be happier with the choice I made. From the first consultation, the care I received was second to none. I was given advice to make sure my eyes were in the best possible condition to receive treatment. This was then reviewed before I had treatment. On the day I was quite anxious and every single staff member I came across had such a calming nature. The surgery was explained to me and I was given time to ask any questions. The surgery itself was extremely quick and I was reassured throughout by Charlotte. I am so glad I chose Wellington Eye Clinic for my procedure. They have changed my life!
If you wear glasses or contact lenses and you’re considering laser eye surgery, I would absolutely recommend Wellington Eye Clinic. They made the entire process seamless and incredibly comfortable, and I’m genuinely so happy with the results. It’s been one of the best investments I’ve ever made.
I recently had Lasik Surgery at the Wellington Eye Clinic. The whole experience was exceptional before, during and after the surgery. Mr Cummins and his team were extremely professional, kind and caring. My first consultation with Mr Cummins was extremely thorough. He listened, was incredibly kind and nothing was too much trouble. All my information and plan was put in writing for my approval before proceeding with a lens test and then Lasik. I can’t recommend the Wellington Eye Clinic highly enough. Highly experienced, professional, patient focused, kind and caring.
I was extremely sceptical and worried about having laser eye surgery. From the minute I booked and arrived at the clinic, I felt looked after. I had all my tests and scans and the staff were super. I met with mr cummings and he advised me that I had dry eyes and that he would prefer to treat it to see if there was improvement before preceding with any laser surgery. We did this , ad after 6 weeks I returned to hsve my surgery. There was no pain , I felt cared for and looked after. My recovery was really quick and most importantly, my sight is perfect. No more glasses ! Im sorry I did not do this years ago.
This clinic, it's staff and Dr Arthur Cummings are nothing short of SUPERB! I wish I could give a higher rating than 5-stars! Before attending the Wellington eye studio I went to a cheaper practice where they did a quick examination and told me that my cornea was too thin. So I decided to seek a second opinion at the Wellington Eye Clinic and my word, what a difference. They examined my eyes in about 8 different ways, which allowed them to realised that my prescription on my glasses was actually slightly too strong. Although my corneas were indeed thin, their technology and processes meant that I COULD get LASIK! So I went in and 15 minutes later, like an absolute miracle, I could see. It has now been about 5 months and my eyes are perfect. They continue to follow up and check that all is well. Honestly, they are possibly the best run unit in all of Ireland. Bravo! and thank you to the entire team!
I am an experienced eye surgeon myself, I had to consider, where I should visit to perform the procedure. For many years I was using contact lenses, but these were no longer good for me. I considered LASIK on my eyes. As I am an experienced eye surgeon myself, I had to consider, where I should visit to perform the procedure. As I have known Dr Arthur Cummings and the Wellington Eye Clinic for many years, I decided to visit Dr Cummings. His excellence, his warm-hearted art, his attitude to perfection are well known and convinced me to give my eyes to his hands. Also, his staff and colleagues are so kind and care about absolutely everything, that I just felt like visiting my family rather than a clinic. The procedure lead to a perfect result. Today for more than 40 years it is the first time, that I am able to look at my environment without any prosthesis. It is an overwhelming experience, and still after a week I sit down and only enjoy looking – at everything: I do not read the newspaper, but look at the contrasts changing on the paper in the light and those little particles in the material. It was three days after LASIK that I could do my work as a microsurgeon again, everything worked perfectly. As a result, I am convinced, the Wellington Eye Clinic and Dr Arthur Cummings are clearly recommended.
I had laser eye surgery with Mr. Arthur Cummings in 2008. Within minutes I knew I was in the best hands — and 17 years later, I’m still grateful for the life-changing results and the care of an exceptional surgeon.
I had a fantastic experience. Had a few phone discussions following my initial consultation to help me make the decision to go ahead with the lasik or wait for another year. Dr Cummins really put me at ease before the surgery which was over in less than 10 minutes.
Amazing! I’m one week from LASIK by Mr Arthur Cummings and it has been completely live changing. Freedom from glasses is what I wanted and got but what I did not expect was the absolute amazing view of the world I now have. Maria Gallardo, Optometrist met with me a couple of times before the procedure to test my suitability for the procedure and she is one of the most professional, knowledgeable, thorough and empathetic individuals I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. She completely put me at ease and gave me huge confidence in the clinic. If you are in anyway considering this procedure I’d recommend that you have an assessment here.
I can not say enough good things about the wellington eye clinic I got both eyes lasered, the first in 2020 and the second in 2021 and I received such amazing care and I loved the results, my only regret was that I didn’t do it sooner! Recently I had some visual issues due to an autoimmune disease I have and I contacted the wellington eye clinic even though I haven’t been an active patient for over 4 years and they couldn’t have done enough for me. In particular Caitriona and Ciara were so helpful and accommodating. Thank you so much. Losing your sight suddenly is extremely scary but Dr.Maria and Dr.Brendan were so kind, helpful and generous with their time to help me with my case even though it was completely unrelated to laser eye surgery. I really thank the wellington eye clinic from the bottom of my heart for everything they’ve done for me, I will continue to recommend them to friends, family and anyone who will listen to me! Thank you team.
I recently had laser eye surgery at the Wellington Eye Clinic, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, the care I received was outstanding. Mr.Arthur Cummings and his team are truly exceptional – professional, reassuring, and genuinely kind. The optometrists and administrative staff deserve a special mention as well. I experienced a few minor complications along the way, but they were handled with such good humor, patience, and a clear determination to get everything resolved. I always felt listened to and cared for, and every concern was taken seriously without ever making me feel like a burden. The whole process felt incredibly thorough and safe, and I’m now enjoying better vision than I ever imagined. Could not recommend the Wellington Eye Clinic more highly – they are the A team
I was very excited when laser eye correction first came out but was put off when a friend had their eyes done in a UK clinic so I ended up waiting years to find a procedure that would enable me to read and drive without glasses, then one day as I was searching for an eye test I came across the Wellington eye clinic I watched all the videos on their website and decided to book an appointment, my first consultation was extremely thorough and I was given documentation detailing all of the options available to me, I decided to have laser eye surgery with Dr. Cummings the surgery was over in minutes and totally painless, the team checked in on me during my recovery, I could read perfectly without glasses the following day, I couldn't believe it and it has been the best experience ever, I would highly recommend this clinic if you are considering any sort of eye procedures. Their aftercare is second to none, professional care from start to finish the way it should be, the staff are lovely, patient and kind I can't speak highly enough about the Wellington eye clinic.
All of my appointments with the clinic have been amazing. I originally visited for ortho k lenses and Cian was great and so knowledgeable. I later got laser eye surgery with Dr. Cummings. The surgery was over in minutes and the team checked in during my recovery days as well. I would highly recommend this clinic if you are considering any sort of optical procedures. Their customer care is second to none!
The Wellington clinic comes highly recommended and I found my experience justified that. My LASIK surgery went very smoothly and I am very happy with the results. I am still having some issues with Halo's at night and slight blurring in low light conditions but I have a follow up appointment and am hoping this can be sorted by some enhancement procedure.
Really great experience having my Lasik surgery. Have had a great recovery and my only regret is that I didn’t get it done sooner! Thanks so much to everyone at the Wellington Eye Clinic for the amazing care during my appointments and Mr. Brendan Cummings for his expertise!
I am a Patient of Wellington Eye Clinic for over 25 years. Initially my Doctor was Richard Corkin who performed Lasek Surgery in my right eye and was very successful. I have been attending Dr Arthur Cummings since Dr Corkin's Retirement and he has been amazing. He has carried out some procedures together with Cateract surgery in both eyes and very successful. Overall my experience of the Wellington Eye Clinic is excellent and I would highly recommend it. The staff are also most professional, friendly and helpful.
After going to another eye clinic and being told I don't qualify for lens replacement, I went to the Wellington for a second opinion and they were also recommended to me. So glad I did. They are first class clinic. Very thorough, informative, professional and masters at their field. From my initial enquiry, dealing with front of house, my consultation with Una and my procedure by Arthur Cummings and the follow up with the team, it was fantastic. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Had a slight residual prescription (which can happen)in my left eye and had laser on this eye. Delighted with the results. Having worn glasses as a child and depended on them more with age don't know myself now, not having to wear them. Only regrets is I didn't get the procedure sooner
I cant praise the wellington clinic enough, they are amazing and i have been dealing with them for past 12 years. I recently had laser surgery in one eye again due to a medical issue with one eye and Mr cummings dealt with me again and his kindness i will never forget as i was very worried as had complicated past history. All staff were so kind and i wouldn’t go anywhere else because they r all amazing.
Top quality care and attention taken of their clients. My lasek treatment was pain free from start to finish and was such a quick procedure. It was the best decision I made and money well spent. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of attending the wellington eye clinic
I’ve been going to The Wellington Eye clinic since 2007 or there about - it was a very pleasant environment - I had laser treatment - which was the most spectacular treatment I’ve ever had - I’ve told many friends how it was well worth the money - I couldn’t believe how GR8 it was - it changed my everyday work environment - Every-time I had a check up - the attention I received was second to none. I still attend for further checkups after Cataract treatment in October 2022.
Dear Mr. Cummings, I am writing to you with the joy of perfect, aligned LASIK vision, a gift you have given me that has transformed my life in ways I never imagined possible. From the age of two, I wore glasses. At first it didn’t bother me; I was just a small child blissfully unaware of insecurities. But as 1 grew older, the burden of wearing glasses in public became heavy. The turn in my eye became my greatest insecurity, and I felt a deep sense of anxiety and sadness. I hated my glasses and masked this vulnerability with contact lenses but even that was a struggle people knowing that I wore contacts! Glasses provoked so much things anxiety in me. I was a very insecure child. It was the simple things in life that bothered me. I sacrificed swimming, dreading the moments when Id rush to the bathroom to put in my lenses, terrified that my eye would be turned in front of friends, anyone really. I felt ugly, afraid and properly insecure - I thought my vision was the worst thing about me. I wore gas permeable and soft lenses for years, yet I always found myself in awe of those who could wake up each morning without the need to factor in their eyesight the freedom they enjoyed seemed like a distant dream for me, and l longed for the simplicity of waking up and simply seeing the world clearly. But then came the day i met you Mr. Cummings, LASiK eye surgery was more than just a change of vision; if was a chance for renewal. Mr Cummings, you have not only given me the gift of clear sight (with both eyes ’aligned), but you have restored my hope and excitement for life. Hope for happiness and a content self- image. The way you explained everything about my eyes made me feel so confident in you and the surgery. Your calm, caring demeanour instilled a trust that I needed. Thank you for your kindness and understanding As I prepared for surgery I was a bundle of nerves, but your team was fantastic, true credits to you and the Wellington Eye Clinic. Your gentle reassurance, “You’re doing great” echoed in my mind during the surgery, which helped me Keep calm. I cannot fully express the gratitude I feel for the gift you have given me. This is a monumental step toward healing my inner child and beginning a new exciting chapter in my life. Today, I feel beautiful again. I feel happy, hopeful, and ready to embark on my new journey un London with confidence and gratitude . You have lifted an immense weight off my shoulders, that I’ve carried for so long, and for that, I will be eternally thankful. The person that you are and what you do has inspired me with your dedication, compassion, care and exceptional skill. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the gift of my new eyesight. It means the world to me, and I will sing your praises to everyone I meet. You have not only changed the way I see the world but also how I see myself.
I would highly recommend the Wellington Eye Clinic to anyone who is considering getting laser eye surgery. All staff members throughout my multiple visits were very friendly and the level of care I received was amazing. I was definitely a nervous patient but the surgery itself felt like a breeze. Mr Brendan Cummings spoke to me all the way throughout the surgery as well as all the staff members alongside him. I felt like I was in the best care possible. I couldn’t believe when I woke up the next morning able to see. Absolutely life changing. Thank you to all staff members at the Wellington Eye Clinic for giving me incredible vision ! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

The way you explained everything about my eyes made me feel so confident in you and the surgery. Your calm, caring demeanour instilled a trust that I needed. Thank you for your kindness and understanding As I prepared for surgery I was a bundle of nerves, but your team was fantastic, true credits to you and the Wellington Eye Clinic. Your gentle reassurance, “You’re doing great” echoed in my mind during the surgery, which helped me Keep calm. I cannot fully express the gratitude I feel for the gift you have given me. This is a monumental step toward healing my inner child and beginning a new exciting chapter in my life. Today, I feel beautiful again. I feel happy, hopeful, and ready to embark on my new journey un London with confidence and gratitude . You have lifted an immense weight off my shoulders, that I’ve carried for so long, and for that, I will be eternally thankful. The person that you are and what you do has inspired me with your dedication, compassion, care and exceptional skill. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the gift of my new eyesight. It means the world to me, and I will sing your praises to everyone I meet. You have not only changed the way I see the world but also how I see myself.
I would highly recommend the Wellington Eye Clinic to anyone who is considering getting laser eye surgery. All staff members throughout my multiple visits were very friendly and the level of care I received was amazing. I was definitely a nervous patient but the surgery itself felt like a breeze. Mr Brendan Cummings spoke to me all the way throughout the surgery as well as all the staff members alongside him. I felt like I was in the best care possible. I couldn’t believe when I woke up the next morning able to see. Absolutely life changing. Thank you to all staff members at the Wellington Eye Clinic for giving me incredible vision ! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I am three days post LASIK treatment and couldn’t be happier. The Wellington Clinic and Dr. Cummings came highly recommended from a friend, and from my very first consultation I knew I was in safe and expert hands. Dr. Cummings and the whole Team are so kind and caring, providing such a positive experience. The level of care and service from the very first phone call to the treatment itself and the aftercare is second to none. If you are considering Laser Eye Surgery, I couldn’t recommend this clinic more.
