LASIK (Laser insitu keratomileusis)
It is a quick and painless surgical procedure
performed using "eye drop" anesthesia. Both eyes can be treated
at the same time. It takes only few minutes to treat both eyes.
Range of Treatment
A wide range of refractive errors can be
corrected including nearsightedness, farsightedness and
astigmatism.
Nearsightedness (minus number) 0 to -15D
Farsightedness (plus number) 0 to +10D
Astigmatism (Cylindrical number) 0 to ±6Dcyl
When considering LASIK, it is important to
have realistic expectations. The objective of LASIK is to reduce
your dependence on corrective eyewear, with the resultant
lifestyle advantages. The treatment can be customized according
to visual needs. After a complete examination is performed, a
thorough counseling will help you to understand your condition
and how you are likely to benefit from LASIK.
