Dr Michael Mesham is based in Cape Town and specializes in laser eye surgery.

The lasik procedure has been one of the greatest medical advances of our time and has revolutionized the correction of shortsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. The past decade has seen lasik evolve into a highly refined procedure and South African ophthalmic surgeons have been at the forefront of this progress. More and more people are now discarding their glasses and contact lenses and opting for laser eye surgery.

Laser surgery requires sophisticated equipment, attention to detail and a team of professionals that intimately understand the laser equipment.

Dr Mesham and his team have been performing lasik in Cape Town since 1995. With our experience in this surgery we have been able to refine the technique and optimize the results for each individual patient.

Our clinic uses the Nidek EC5000 excimer laser system. This an advanced scanning excimer laser which has proved worldwide to give excellent results, particularly in the correction of shortsightedness and astigmatism

To correct vision the laser gently reshapes the cornea by vaporizing microscopic layers of tissue. The laser rapidly scans the surface of the cornea removing a precise amount of tissue with each scan until the correct corneal shape has been achieved

Dr Mesham’s team is proud to offer the highest standard of care at this world-class laser facility in Cape Town. We understand how precious your vision is and endeavor to give you the best possible result from laser surgery. We invite you to contact us for a free assessment of you suitability for the lasik procedure.
