How It Works
The process begins with specialists conducting comprehensive eye examinations to evaluate corneal thickness, vision stability, and overall ocular health. This step ensures each patient is a suitable candidate for LASIK surgery, reducing potential risks and optimising safety and effectiveness. The treatment plan is carefully customised using advanced wavefront and topography-guided imaging technologies. These diagnostic tools create a precise corneal map, helping tailor the laser correction to the individual’s unique eye structure for superior results.
Before the procedure begins, numbing eye drops are applied to eliminate discomfort. The eye is gently stabilised using a specialised device, ensuring accuracy and safety throughout the surgery. A femtosecond laser is used to create a thin corneal flap, followed by precise reshaping of the cornea with an excimer laser to correct refractive errors and improve visual clarity. This advanced, blade-free approach offers enhanced precision, minimal risk of complications, and faster post-surgery healing.
The LASIK process typically takes around 15 minutes per eye, guided entirely by advanced computer-assisted systems. Patients receive medicated drops, protective shields, and recovery guidance. Follow-up visits at 24 hours, one week, and one month confirm healing progress and long-term vision stability.

What to Expect
Comprehensive Eye Evaluation
The process begins with a thorough eye examination, including corneal thickness measurement, refraction stability check, and ocular health assessment. This helps determine eligibility.
Pre-Procedure Preparation
Patients receive specific pre-operative guidance, such as discontinuing contact lenses for a few days and avoiding eye makeup, creams, or lotions.
Anaesthesia Application
On the day of surgery, topical anaesthetic drops are used to numb the eyes, ensuring complete comfort throughout the short, precise procedure.
Corneal Flap Creation
A femtosecond laser gently creates a thin corneal flap, eliminating the need for blades and minimising tissue disruption for enhanced safety.
Laser Reshaping
The excimer laser reshapes the corneal surface based on individual eye measurements, correcting myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism.
Post-Surgery Protection
Once completed, protective eyewear and medicated drops are provided to prevent infection and aid healing.
Initial Recovery Phase
Temporary dryness, light sensitivity, or mild irritation may occur but usually resolves within days, with most patients resuming normal activities quickly.
Follow-Up and Care Plan
A structured review at 24 hours, one week, and one month monitors healing, ensures vision stability, and supports optimal long-term outcomes.
