Your ticket to clear vision!!
Wondering what life could be like without glasses or contact lenses?
Let’s dive into the world of LASIK!
What is LASIK?
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular laser eye surgery that reshapes your cornea to improve vision. Think of it as a quick touch-up for your eyes, giving you freedom from glasses and contacts.
How It Works??
1.Prep Time:
We start with some numbing drops, so you feel comfortable throughout.
2.Laser Magic:
A laser reshapes your cornea to correct how light focuses on your retina, giving you clear vision.
3.All Done:
The actual procedure takes just 15 minutes, and most people are amazed at how quick it is!
Benefits of LASIK
•Fast Recovery: Most patients notice improved vision within 24 hours.
•Minimal Discomfort: You might feel some dryness or irritation, but that usually clears up quickly.
•Long-Lasting Results: For most, LASIK offers permanent correction, giving you years of clear vision.
•Free Re-Treatment Option: While most people enjoy long-lasting results, a few may notice a slight shift in their vision over time. If this happens, and you have enough corneal thickness, we offer a complimentary re-treatment upto 5 years from the operated date to help you achieve clear vision once again.
Before Your LASIK:
Pre-Surgery Tips
Have a Good Meal
Make sure to eat before your procedure, as you’ll want to feel comfortable.
Avoid Makeup and Lotions
Steer clear of eye makeup, creams, or lotions on surgery day to keep the area clean.
Skip Perfumes and Fragrances
Strong scents can interfere with the laser equipment, so save the fragrance for later!
No Contact Lenses
If you wear contacts, switch to glasses for at least a week before surgery to let your corneas return to their natural shape.
Arrange a Ride Home
Since your vision may be blurry initially, it’s best to have someone take you home.
After LASIK
•Follow-Up Visits: We’ll check your healing and vision progress a few times post-surgery.
•Protective Eyewear: Sunglasses are a must during the recovery period to protect your new-and-improved eyes.
