LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis)
LASIK is a popular laser vision correction procedure that reshapes the cornea to correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. It provides rapid visual recovery and reduces dependence on glasses or contact lenses. Our health tourism platform ensures LASIK is performed with advanced wavefront-guided technology, achieving precise, safe, and long-lasting results tailored to individual eye anatomy.
Who Is a Good Candidate
Candidates include individuals who:
- Have stable refractive errors
- Have sufficient corneal thickness
- Desire improved vision and reduced reliance on corrective lenses A thorough pre-operative evaluation includes corneal mapping, retinal examination, and ocular health assessment.
Pre-Treatment Process
- Comprehensive eye examination and imaging
- Discussion of expectations, risks, and procedure details
- Contact lens removal before surgery
- Pre-surgical guidance on medications and eye care
Surgical Procedure
Performed under topical anesthesia:
- Corneal flap is created using a femtosecond laser
- Excimer laser reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors
- Flap is repositioned without sutures The procedure takes approximately 15 minutes per eye.
Post-Treatment & Recovery
Patients may experience mild dryness, irritation, or blurry vision initially. Eye drops prevent infection and inflammation. Visual acuity improves rapidly, often within 24–48 hours. Follow-up visits monitor healing, flap positioning, and visual outcomes.
Results & Longevity
LASIK provides sharp vision with minimal downtime. Results are long-lasting, and most patients achieve 20/20 vision or better with stable outcomes.
