Overview

Lasik surgery is the most commonly done procedure to correct refractive errors for the past two decades. Millions and millions of people had benefited and regained glass-free vision. Lasik or Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis reshapes the cornea by using an excimer laser beam, thereby offering glass-free vision. Lasik treatment can correct a wide range of optical aberrations like nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and Higher-Order Aberrations (small tiny aberrations in the cornea). It is a simple, painless, and outpatient procedure. Laser Eye Surgery in Tamilnadu and Kerala is done by Lotus Eye Hospital and Institute

How Lasik surgery is done?

Lasik procedure consists of two steps. First, make a thin hinged flap on the cornea. Lasik procedure is performed on the bed of the flap after lifting the flap. The corneal flap is repositioned after the completion of treatment. It takes 10-15 minutes for both eyes. The most widely performed type of refractive surgery is LASIK Surgery where a laser is used to reshape the cornea.

Frequently asked questions

Let’s understand the full form of LASIK. Lasik stands for Laser-assisted in-situ Keratomileusis and is done for short-sightedness, long-sightedness, and cylindrical power.

LASIK does not cause pain during or immediately after the procedure. Before your LASIK eye surgery begins, numbing eye drops are used to alleviate any pain or discomfort to the eye during the procedure.

LASIK recovery time is 2-3 months. It is common for the eyes to continue healing for at least 3 months after LASIK, which means your vision will also continue to improve. In patients with more severe prescriptions, it may take up to 6 months to heal completely.

There are two main parts to LASIK eye surgery: creating the flap and reshaping the cornea. To create the flap, the doctor will use a suction device. After the surgery, there will be discomfort for about 10-12 hours. The discomfort is due to the healing process. Similar to how a scab itches when its healing and how a cough develops when you are clearing out a head cold, there’s some irritation during the very first few hours of healing. This irritation goes away as the eyes heal.
