LASIK is a laser-assisted surgical procedure used to correct common refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. It reshapes the cornea so that light can focus properly on the retina, resulting in clear vision without glasses or lenses. It is among the most popular elective surgeries worldwide due to its precision, quick recovery, and life-changing visual outcomes. Modern platforms like Contoura Vision and Femto-LASIK offer enhanced outcomes by using eye-specific maps for customized treatment.
Age 18 years or older with stable prescription for at least 1 year
Spectacle power within treatable range (myopia up to -10 D, hyperopia up to +5 D, astigmatism up to 6 D)
Adequate corneal thickness (minimum 480–500 microns before ablation)
No keratoconus or corneal ectasia on topography screening
No active eye disease, dry eye, or autoimmune condition
Not pregnant or breastfeeding
Detailed pre-operative evaluation: corneal topography, Pentacam, pachymetry, wavefront analysis
Anesthetic drops numb the eye completely — no injections needed
A femtosecond laser creates a precise thin flap in the cornea
The flap is gently lifted to expose the underlying corneal stroma
An excimer laser reshapes the corneal stroma based on your exact prescription
The corneal flap is repositioned — it adheres naturally without stitches
Surgery takes approximately 10–15 minutes for both eyes
Visual improvement is usually noticeable within hours
Zeiss VisuMax Femtosecond Laser for flap creation
WaveLight EX500 Excimer Laser — fastest treatment speed (500 Hz)
Contoura Vision: topography-guided customized ablation
iDesign wavefront-guided treatment for higher-order aberrations
Vision improves dramatically within 24 hours. Most patients see clearly the next morning. Antibiotic and lubricating drops are used for 4 weeks. Avoid rubbing your eyes for 1 month. Contact sports and swimming are avoided for 4 weeks. Night vision halos and dry eyes are common initially and resolve in 1–3 months.
