What is Lasik...
Lasik is a procedure that improves visionby changing the shape of cornea with laser and is a very effective treatment for a wide range of vision problems.
Why do people choose to have Lasik Surgery...
- Life simplification and independence: No longer having to deal with glasses or contact lenses.
- Performance: Ability to perform better in sports-related activities like cricket,football,squash.
- Ability to see when it counts: Certain professions like army, navy, airforce and railways require normal vision without glasses.
- Safety: With contact lens infections on the rise having clear vision Lasik is a favourable option.
Lasik has proven overwhelmingly successful in reducing dependence on glasses and contact lenses.Clinical studies show that most LASIK patients(with mild to moderate prescriptions) have the potential to achieve 6/6 vision or near N/6 vision.Generally, this means they no longer need or have reduced their dependence on glasses or contacts to drive, play sports, watch movies and TV, or participate in careers requiring excellent vision.
Who is a good candidate for Lasik...
Lasik can treat very broad range of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.The best way to determine who is a good candidate is with a thorough eye examination.
- Candidates must be 18 years or age of older.
- In good general health, and have good eye health with no diseases such as cataracts or glaucoma.
The Lasik laser vision correction procedure usually takes less than 15 minutes in the operating room. The actual laser time is approximately 1 minute.
Does the Lasik procedure hurt...
There is almost no pain involved with Lasik, but many patients find the procedure to be slightly uncomfortable. Anesthetic drops are used to numb procedure, the eye may feel a foreign body sensation or slight irritation for a few hours, like a grain or sand in your eye, but most patients are very comfortable shortly thereafter.
How is Lasik Done...
- After putting anestthetic eye drop, a partial thickness corneal flap is made with a microkeratome.
Flap Creation
- Lasik is applied on the corneal bed.It corrects vision by reshaping cornea so that light rays focus precisely on the retina.
Laser Application
Flap is reduced back after completion of laser.Eye drops are put & patient goes home.
Flap Repositioning
What is the recovery process like...
Most Lasik patients usually see quite well the day following their procedure and may be able to resume most of their normal daily activities.
Are there any risks assosiated with Lasik...
Some temporary complications include conditions such as dryness, night glare, under or over-correction. The risks of surgery should be discussed fully with the doctor prior to the procedure. Additionally, proper post-opertive care helps to identify and address any potential healing complications.

In custom Lasik a new standard for laser vision correction is achieved ,providing a precise& accurate level of measurement and correction never before possible. This new level of measurement is 25 times more precise and provides better vision than is possible with glasses or contact lenses.
