The main goal of the consultation with our LASIK surgeon is to determine whether you are a candidate for laser vision correction and, if so, which procedure is most appropriate.
We conduct various tests including pupil size, reaction in dim light, and dry eye evaluation.
At the end of your consultation, the doctor will discuss which procedure suits you best — whether custom LASIK, wavefront LASIK, or others.
If you have not yet contacted us, please send us:
Age
Current refraction (spectacle numbers)
Lifestyle (outdoor, computer use, profession)
Any significant medical or eye history
Eye reports/tests done
Possibly — it depends on corneal thickness and other factors. If too thin for LASIK, alternatives like PRK or SMILE may be recommended.
You must:
Be 18+ years
Have stable vision for 1+ year
Have healthy eyes (no cataract, glaucoma, severe dry eye, etc.)
Not be pregnant/nursing
Not have degenerative or autoimmune disease affecting healing
There’s no strict upper age limit, but suitability depends on eye health. Patients over 40 may still need reading glasses due to presbyopia.
LASIK has been performed on millions of people and has no proven long-term side effects.
We will not advise LASIK if the doctor has any doubts about your results.
Any future issues like cataract or retina problems are due to age, diabetes, or other factors — not LASIK. LASIK works only on the surface of the eye.
Yes — approved by the US FDA as a safe, proven, and effective treatment for refractive errors.
With our advanced technology, we face no issues like night vision problems or major surgical complications.
There are no documented cases of blindness solely from LASIK when performed by an experienced surgeon using approved technology.
If there’s a significant change due to natural aging or other conditions, enhancements or alternate treatments can be discussed.
With older technology, some patients experience night vision problems or dry eyes.
We use the most advanced laser systems to avoid these issues.
Every patient undergoes a dry eye test before surgery; if found positive, we treat it or suggest EpiLASIK for mild to moderate cases.
Our protocols ensure near-zero night vision trouble and no infections (strict infection control).
A small number of patients may require a re-treatment (enhancement). We prepare patients for this possibility during the consultation.
LASIK: Creates a flap, quick recovery, minimal discomfort
SMILE: Flapless, minimally invasive, ideal for active lifestyles
PRK: No flap, slightly longer recovery, suitable for thin corneas
Topography-guided and wavefront-guided bladeless LASIK are currently the most advanced, offering customised treatment for each eye.
Yes, most surgeons perform LASIK on both eyes in the same sitting.
No, it’s painless due to anaesthetic eye drops. Mild discomfort may occur for a few hours after surgery.
Laser time is under a minute; the total procedure is 5–7 minutes per eye.
Stop wearing contact lenses (soft: 1 week, hard: 3 weeks before)
Avoid eye makeup on the day of surgery
Arrange transport home after the procedure
Yes, you’ll be awake but your eyes will be numbed, and you won’t feel pain.
If planned well, total stay is 3–4 days:
Day 1: Consultation
Day 2: Procedure (e.g., Friday)
Day 3–4: Rest
Day 5: Travel back (e.g., Tuesday)
You can return to office in 1–2 days, with frequent breaks from screens and use of eye drops. Driving is advised after 4–5 days.
Most people resume work in 1–2 days.
First follow-up is the next day; further visits as per doctor’s advice. Annual checkups recommended.
Avoid rubbing your eyes, swimming, contact sports, and eye makeup for at least 2 weeks.
Light exercise can resume in a few days, but swimming and contact sports should be avoided for 2–4 weeks.
