LASIK is a popular refractive eye surgery designed to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. These conditions occur when light entering the eye does not focus properly on the retina, resulting in blurred vision. LASIK reshapes the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye, to help light focus correctly and reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
People who rely heavily on glasses or contact lenses due to blurred distance or near vision may be suitable candidates for LASIK. Common symptoms include difficulty seeing clearly without corrective lenses, eye strain, headaches caused by focusing effort, and discomfort from long-term contact lens use. A detailed eye evaluation helps determine eligibility.
LASIK is used to treat nearsightedness, where distant objects appear blurry; farsightedness, which affects near vision; and astigmatism, caused by an irregularly shaped cornea leading to distorted vision. Each condition requires a customized treatment plan based on eye measurements and visual needs.
The LASIK procedure is quick, painless, and usually completed within minutes for both eyes. A precise laser is used to gently reshape the cornea, improving how light enters the eye. No stitches are required, and recovery is fast. Most patients notice clearer vision within a short period and can return to routine activities soon, following post-procedure care instructions.
Our clinic offers LASIK using advanced laser technology and thorough pre-surgery evaluation. The procedure is performed with a focus on accuracy, safety, and personalized care to achieve reliable visual outcomes.
