LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is the most widely performed type of laser eye surgery designed to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. The procedure uses an advanced excimer laser to reshape the cornea, allowing light to focus properly on the retina for clearer vision. LASIK aims to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses while offering quick results and a fast recovery.

LASIK works by reshaping the cornea – the clear front part of the eye – to improve how light focuses on the retina. The procedure begins with the creation of a thin corneal flap using either a microkeratome blade or a femtosecond laser. The flap is gently lifted, and an excimer laser precisely removes microscopic layers of corneal tissue to correct the refractive error.

Once the cornea is reshaped, the flap is repositioned without sutures, naturally sealing itself. The entire process takes around 15 to 20 minutes for both eyes, and patients typically notice improved vision within 24 hours. Most people can return to normal activities, including work, within 1 to 2 days.

1. Consultation and eye examination will be conducted.
2. Anesthetic eye drops will be applied.
3. A femtosecond laser will create a thin corneal flap.
4. An excimer laser will reshape the underlying corneal tissue.
5. The corneal flap will be repositioned and will naturally seal without sutures.
6. Post-care instructions will be provided.

Q1: Is LASIK painful?
A1: No, the eyes are numbed with anesthetic drops, so patients feel little to no discomfort during the procedure.

Q2: How soon will I see results?
A2: Most patients notice improved vision within 24 hours, with continued sharpening over the next few days.

Q3: Can LASIK fix astigmatism?
A3: Yes, LASIK effectively corrects astigmatism, as well as nearsightedness and farsightedness.

Q4: How long do LASIK results last?
A4: The results are long-lasting, though natural age-related vision changes may still occur later in life.

Q5: Is LASIK safe?
A5: Yes, LASIK is one of the safest and most studied elective procedures, with high success and satisfaction rates when performed by a qualified doctor at our affiliated clinic.
