What is LASIK Eye Surgery?

LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) is a minimally invasive procedure designed to reshape the cornea, improving how light is focused onto the retina. This correction restores clear, natural vision and reduces or eliminates the need for glasses or contact lenses.

It’s an FDA-approved, highly successful treatment with millions of satisfied patients worldwide.

Types of LASIK Procedures Available in India

India offers various advanced LASIK techniques to suit different eye conditions and corneal structures:

1. Standard LASIK: The most common procedure, using a microkeratome blade to create a corneal flap.

2. Bladeless LASIK (Femto LASIK): Uses a femtosecond laser instead of a blade, ensuring greater precision and safety.

3. Custom LASIK (Wavefront-Guided LASIK): Tailored for each eye using digital mapping to correct even minor visual imperfections.

4. SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction): A next-generation laser vision correction method with no flap, faster recovery, and minimal dryness.

Your ophthalmologist will recommend the best option after evaluating your eye condition.

The LASIK Surgery Process – Step by Step

At One Life Medical Tourism’s partner hospitals, LASIK surgery follows a smooth, safe, and patient-focused approach:

1. Initial Consultation
   A thorough eye examination is conducted, including corneal thickness measurement, pupil size, and refractive error tests. The doctor will determine if you’re an ideal candidate for LASIK.

2. Preparation
   On the day of surgery, anesthetic eye drops are applied for a painless experience. You’ll be asked to relax as the procedure is performed.

3. Laser Correction
   The surgeon creates a thin corneal flap, lifts it, and reshapes the underlying tissue with a precise laser beam. The flap is then repositioned naturally without stitches.

4. Post-Surgery Care
   The entire process takes around 15–20 minutes for both eyes. Most patients notice improved vision within hours. You may experience mild dryness or sensitivity, which subsides in a few days.

5. Results
   Vision typically stabilizes within 1–2 weeks. In most cases, patients achieve 20/20 vision or better — eliminating dependence on glasses or contacts.
