LASIK Eye Surgery is a minimally invasive laser procedure which corrects refractive errors in the eyes. It reshapes the cornea, allowing light entering the eye to focus properly on the retina. This results in improved or corrected vision, reducing or eliminating the need for reading glasses, regular glasses, or contact lenses.

LASIK is highly effective for enhancing vision clarity, reducing dependency on corrective lenses, and improving overall quality of life. The procedure is precise, quick, and typically performed as an outpatient procedure. Most patients experience noticeable vision improvement within 24 hours, and recovery is rapid, enabling a return to normal activities within a few days.

LASIK Eye Surgery uses highly precise lasers and advanced technology to reshape the cornea. After numbing the eye with eye drops, a thin corneal flap is created using a microkeratome or femtosecond laser. This flap is gently lifted to expose the underlying tissue, which is then reshaped with an excimer laser. The flap is repositioned to naturally adhere to the cornea without sutures.

The laser treatment is customized according to the patient’s prescription and eye measurements to achieve the desired vision correction. The entire procedure typically takes only a few minutes per eye and is performed in a sterile, outpatient clinical setting.

Q1: Does LASIK Eye Surgery permanently fix eyes?
A1: LASIK provides long-lasting vision correction for most people, but it does not prevent natural age-related vision changes, such as presbyopia or cataracts.

Q2: How long does LASIK Eye Surgery take to heal?
A2: Initial visual improvement is usually seen within 24 hours. Full stabilization of vision typically occurs within 1 to 3 months, depending on individual healing and prescription.

Q3: What happens 10 years after LASIK Eye Surgery?
A3: Most patients maintain good vision for many years. However, natural changes in the eye with age, such as presbyopia, cataracts, or other eye conditions, may affect vision, and glasses may still be needed for reading or low-light conditions.

Q4: What is the best age to get LASIK Eye Surgery?
A4: The ideal age is 21 or older, once your vision has stabilized for at least 1 year. Younger patients may experience changes in prescription that reduce the long-term effectiveness of the procedure.

Q5: Can I wear contacts after LASIK Eye Surgery?
A5: Contact lenses are generally not needed after successful LASIK. However, if vision changes over time or for certain activities, contacts may still be used under the doctor’s guidance.
