What is LASIK?
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a safe, advanced, and effective laser eye surgery used to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. The procedure reshapes the cornea so light focuses correctly on the retina, resulting in clearer vision and reduced dependence on glasses or contact lenses. Most patients achieve 20/20 vision or better.
Types of Refractive Errors
When the shape of your cornea or the length of your eye is slightly irregular, it causes refractive errors that make your vision blurry:
Types of Cataracts
Types of LASIK Procedures
At Dr. Akbar Super Speciality Eye Hospitals, we offer advanced laser systems approved by the US-FDA, tailored to each patient’s vision and corneal structure:
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)
Suitable for thin corneas; recovery in about a week.
Trans PRK (No-Touch LASIK)
Fully contactless, gentle, and quick; recovery in 3–5 days.
Femto LASIK (Bladeless LASIK)
Flap-based, painless, fastest recovery (1–2 days).
Difference Between ICL and IPCL
The LASIK Procedure
Before the procedure, you will undergo a few important steps:
A detailed eye evaluation is done to check your corneal thickness, power, and dryness.
Our counsellor helps you choose the best procedure (PRK, Trans PRK, or Femto LASIK).
Stop wearing contact lenses 3–5 days before surgery.
Follow your doctor’s advice on using antibiotic or lubricating drops before surgery.
Arrange someone to drive you home after the procedure.
The surgery is quick and painless:
The procedure is performed under numbing eye drops — no injections or pain.
The laser reshapes your cornea in seconds to correct vision.
In Femto LASIK, a thin flap is created and replaced after correction.
In Trans PRK, no flap is made — it’s completely no-touch.
The entire process takes 10–15 minutes per eye.
After LASIK, recovery is quick and comfortable:
Vision starts improving within 24–48 hours.
Avoid rubbing your eyes, swimming, or wearing eye makeup for about a week.
Use prescribed antibiotic and lubricating drops as directed.
Attend all follow-up visits to ensure smooth recovery and stable vision.
Most patients can resume normal activities within a day or two.
