Laser vision correction

Indications for Laser Vision Correction

Laser correction is indicated for patients with stable forms of myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism who wish to stop wearing glasses or lenses. Candidates should be adults with fully developed visual systems and no serious eye conditions (such as cataracts or glaucoma). Vision should have remained stable for at least one year before surgery for the best and most predictable results.

Modern Methods and Technologies

Different laser correction techniques vary in depth of intervention, degree of customization, and flap formation technology. The choice of method depends on corneal thickness, eye anatomy, visual needs, and lifestyle.

• Super LASIK: An advanced form of LASIK with topography-guided customization. It uses a microkeratome and excimer laser to reshape the cornea.
• Femto-Super LASIK: A more precise and gentle method using a femtosecond laser to create the corneal flap, making it safer for thin corneas and high-precision demands.
• FLEX / CLEAR: Minimally invasive procedures where a small lenticule is created and removed through a tiny incision—flapless, fast recovery, less trauma.

Procedure Steps

• Diagnosis: Detailed pre-operative tests (corneal thickness, topography, wavefront analysis) help select the safest and most effective technique.
• Surgery Day: The procedure lasts 10–20 minutes for both eyes, with local anesthesia. Vision improves within hours.
• Follow-Up: A check-up is done the next day to assess healing. Further visits are scheduled individually.

Preparation

• Stop wearing contact lenses (soft: 3–5 days, hard: 2–3 weeks prior);
• Avoid makeup, alcohol, and excessive screen time;
• On surgery day, stay well-rested and avoid heavy food or fluids.

Recovery

Vision stabilizes within a few days, but full recovery takes 1–2 weeks.
Avoid eye rubbing, swimming pools, and saunas. Use prescribed drops and follow medical advice.
