Laser Vision Correction (LASIK)

Laser vision correction is a safe and effective procedure used to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses. The surgery reshapes the cornea using precise laser technology to correct refractive errors.

Conditions Treated

• Nearsightedness (Myopia)

• Farsightedness (Hyperopia)

• Astigmatism

Procedure

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and usually takes less than 30 minutes. A laser is used to reshape the cornea, allowing light to focus properly on the retina for clearer vision.

Advantages

• Quick procedure

• Fast visual recovery

• Minimal discomfort

• Reduced dependency on glasses or contact lenses

Possible Limitations

• Not suitable for every patient

• Temporary dry eye symptoms may occur

• Vision stabilization may take several weeks
