LASIK Eye Surgery is a laser-based vision correction procedure used to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses. It reshapes the cornea so that light entering the eye focuses more accurately on the retina. LASIK can correct common refractive errors such as myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (long-sightedness), and astigmatism in appropriately selected patients. It is a quick, minimally invasive procedure with generally rapid visual recovery.
Patients with Myopia
Individuals with short-sightedness who have difficulty seeing distant objects clearly and meet the eligibility criteria for laser vision correction.
Patients with Hyperopia or Astigmatism
People with long-sightedness or astigmatism who want to reduce their dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
Patients Seeking Freedom from Glasses
Adults with a stable prescription and healthy eyes who are looking for a long-term alternative to corrective eyewear.
Comprehensive Eye Evaluation
Your ophthalmologist performs detailed eye examinations, including corneal mapping, eye-pressure measurement, tear-film assessment, and prescription evaluation to determine whether LASIK is suitable.
Precision Laser Vision Correction
After numbing the eyes with drops, the surgeon creates a thin corneal flap or uses a flapless technique depending on the laser procedure, then reshapes the corneal tissue using a precision laser.
Post-Surgery Monitoring & Eye Care
Your eyes are examined after surgery to monitor healing and visual improvement, while prescribed eye drops and follow-up care help support recovery.

Your Treatment Journey
Before Procedure
- You will undergo a comprehensive eye examination to assess your prescription, corneal thickness and shape, eye health, and suitability for LASIK.
- Your prescription generally needs to be stable before surgery.
- Contact lens wear may need to be discontinued for a period before your measurements and procedure, according to your ophthalmologist's instructions.
During Procedure
- LASIK is performed using topical anesthetic eye drops, so you remain awake but should not feel significant pain.
- The laser treatment itself usually takes only a few minutes per eye, with the overall procedure commonly completed in around 15–30 minutes.
- The cornea is precisely reshaped to correct the refractive error and improve how light focuses on the retina.
After Procedure
- Temporary blurred vision, dryness, light sensitivity, glare, or halos may occur during the early recovery period.
- Vision often improves significantly within the first few days, although stabilization can take longer.
- You will need prescribed eye drops and follow-up examinations, and should avoid rubbing your eyes while they heal.
