Laser Eye Surgery, also known as Laser Vision Correction, is a popular and highly effective treatment designed to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses. It uses advanced laser technology to reshape the cornea and correct various refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. This procedure provides patients with clearer, sharper vision, often with minimal discomfort and a quick recovery time.
Laser eye surgery involves using a laser beam to reshape the cornea—the transparent, dome-shaped surface at the front of the eye. The goal is to improve the eye’s ability to focus light on the retina, allowing for clearer vision without relying on external corrective lenses. There are several types of laser eye surgery, with LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) being the most common.
In LASIK surgery, the eye surgeon uses a special laser to create a thin flap on the cornea, which is then lifted to allow the underlying tissue to be reshaped. The flap is replaced afterward, where it heals quickly without the need for stitches.
Laser eye surgery is an excellent option for those who want to reduce their dependence on glasses or contact lenses. Many patients experience significant improvements in vision, often achieving 20/25 vision or better after the procedure. It is suitable for individuals who:
Are 18 years or older with stable vision for at least one year.
Have mild to moderate refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.
Want a quick, non-invasive treatment with a high success rate.
Laser eye surgery offers long-lasting results, and the procedure is highly customizable based on the individual’s specific vision needs.
Laser eye surgery is performed on an outpatient basis, typically taking only 15 to 30 minutes for both eyes. The surgery is usually done under local anesthesia in the form of eye drops, so patients are awake but comfortable throughout the process. Most patients report little to no pain, and the procedure itself is quick and efficient.
After surgery, patients may experience mild discomfort such as dryness, itchiness, or a gritty feeling in the eyes, but these symptoms usually subside within a few hours to a few days. Recovery time is generally fast, with many patients noticing improved vision within 24 to 48 hours. It’s important to follow post-operative instructions, including using prescribed eye drops and avoiding strenuous activities to ensure optimal healing.
