What is LASIK?

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a widely used laser vision correction procedure for treating myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Using laser technology, the cornea is reshaped to improve how light focuses on the retina, helping reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses.

Widely Used Procedure

A commonly performed laser vision correction procedure worldwide.

Fast Treatment

The laser treatment typically takes only minutes per eye.

Rapid Visual Recovery

Many patients notice improved vision within one to two days. Recovery varies between individuals.

Laser Technology

Performed using modern femtosecond and excimer laser systems.

How Does LASIK Work?

Step 1

Anaesthetic eye drops are applied for comfort.

Step 2

A femtosecond laser creates a thin corneal flap.

Step 3

The flap is gently lifted.

Step 4

An excimer laser reshapes the cornea based on your prescription.

Step 5

The flap is repositioned naturally without stitches.

The entire procedure typically takes only a few minutes per eye.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Am I suitable for LASIK?
    Suitability depends on factors including your prescription, corneal thickness, eye health and lifestyle. A comprehensive eye assessment is required.
    Is LASIK painful?
    Anaesthetic eye drops are used to keep the procedure comfortable. Some patients experience mild irritation or watering after treatment, which usually settles during recovery.
    How long does the procedure take?
    The laser treatment itself usually takes only minutes per eye, although your appointment will be longer to allow for preparation and post-treatment checks.
    How long does recovery take?
    Many patients notice improved vision within one to two days, although vision continues to stabilise over the following weeks.
    Can LASIK treat astigmatism?
    Yes. LASIK can treat many cases of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism, depending on your eye assessment.
    What's the difference between LASIK and SMILE Pro?
    Both are laser vision correction procedures but differ in how the cornea is treated. LASIK creates a thin corneal flap, while SMILE Pro is a flapless small-incision procedure. Your ophthalmologist will recommend the most suitable option based on your eyes and lifestyle.
    Will I still need glasses?
    Many patients significantly reduce their dependence on glasses after LASIK. Individual results vary, and some people may still require glasses for certain activities or with age-related vision changes.
