What is LASIK?
LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular and effective laser eye surgery used to correct vision problems like nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. This procedure reshapes the cornea to allow light to focus properly on the retina, improving vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
Why Choose LASIK?
- Quick & Painless: The procedure typically takes 10–15 minutes per eye, with minimal discomfort.
- Immediate Results: Most patients notice improved vision within 24 hours.
- Long-Lasting Effects: The results of LASIK are permanent in most cases.
- Freedom from Glasses & Contacts: Enjoy clear vision without dependency on corrective eyewear.
- High Success Rate: Over 96% of patients achieve 20/20 vision or better after LASIK.
Who is a Good Candidate for LASIK?
You may be eligible for LASIK if you:
- Are 18 years or older
- Have a stable vision prescription for at least one year
- Have healthy eyes with no severe conditions like glaucoma or cataracts
- Are not pregnant or nursing
- Have a corneal thickness suitable for the procedure
The LASIK Procedure
- Preparation: Your eyes are numbed with anesthetic eye drops.
- Corneal Flap Creation: A precise laser creates a thin flap on the cornea.
- Reshaping the Cornea: A second laser reshapes the cornea to correct your vision.
- Flap Repositioning: The corneal flap is placed back in position to heal naturally.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Most patients resume normal activities within 24–48 hours.
- Avoid rubbing your eyes and follow post-operative care instructions.
- Use prescribed eye drops to prevent infection and dryness.
- Attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing.
