LASIK & Refractive Surgery

For patients who want to reduce their dependence on glasses and contact lenses, laser-assisted refractive surgery is a meaningful option. Which technique is right for you depends on the thickness of your cornea, your refractive error, and your lifestyle, all evaluated together.

Methods

• LASIK — The most common method. A thin corneal flap is created, and the laser reshapes the underlying tissue.
• SMILE — A modern flapless technique using a small incision. Lower risk of dry eye.
• PRK / LASEK — A surface laser method suitable for patients with borderline corneal thickness or in certain professions.

Who is a Suitable Candidate?

• Aged 18+, with stable prescription over the last year
• Sufficient corneal thickness
• No active ocular inflammation, advanced dry eye, or keratoconus

Process

The procedure takes approximately 15 minutes for both eyes. Vision begins to clarify within a few hours. Depending on the method, daily life resumes in 1–3 days.
