LASIK & Refractive Surgery
LASIK and other refractive surgeries are designed to correct common vision errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism by carefully reshaping the cornea, allowing light to focus accurately on the retina. These procedures provide an effective, long-term solution for individuals seeking reduced dependence on glasses or contact lenses, offering the freedom of clear, natural vision in daily life. Refractive surgeries not only improve visual clarity but also enhance convenience, comfort, and confidence, making activities such as reading, driving, sports, and screen use significantly easier. Advanced techniques like LASIK, SMILE, and PRK have revolutionised vision correction, offering quick recovery times, minimal discomfort, and highly predictable outcomes with a focus on patient safety.
At Aahan EyePlus, the success of refractive surgery begins with precise evaluation and personalised treatment planning. Using state-of-the-art diagnostic systems, our specialists assess corneal thickness, curvature, pupil size, and overall eye health to determine the most suitable procedure for each individual. Customised laser treatment is then delivered with micron-level accuracy, ensuring optimal results and minimal risk. The procedures are performed under topical anaesthesia, are painless, and usually allow patients to resume normal activities within a day or two. With advanced technology, expert surgeons, and a patient-centric approach, Aahan EyePlus provides safe, effective, and customised refractive surgery solutions that restore visual freedom and enhance quality of life for patients of all ages.
What Happens During the Surgery?
During LASIK surgery, the procedure begins with the creation of a very thin corneal flap using a femtosecond laser or microkeratome. This flap is carefully lifted to expose the underlying corneal tissue, allowing precise reshaping with an excimer laser. The laser removes microscopic amounts of tissue in a controlled pattern to correct the patient’s specific refractive error, whether it is myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism. Once the cornea has been reshaped, the flap is gently repositioned over the treated area, where it naturally adheres without the need for stitches. This approach promotes rapid visual recovery, minimal discomfort, and a strong structural outcome.
Other refractive procedures, such as PRK, SMILE, or Contoura Vision, may be recommended based on factors like corneal thickness, lifestyle, visual demands, and the patient’s overall eye health. PRK involves surface treatment without a flap, SMILE creates a small lenticule within the cornea for minimally invasive correction, and Contoura Vision provides topography-guided custom ablation for enhanced precision. All these procedures are quick, safe, and performed under topical anaesthesia, ensuring a comfortable experience. Patients often notice improved vision within hours to days and can resume normal daily activities shortly after, with excellent long-term outcomes. The choice of procedure is tailored to deliver optimal results for each individual’s unique eyes and visual goals.
Benefits of LASIK & Refractive Surgery
LASIK and refractive surgeries offer sharper, unaided vision, allowing patients to see clearly without relying on glasses or contact lenses. These procedures provide quick recovery, minimal discomfort, and predictable, long-lasting results. Patients experience enhanced convenience and freedom in daily activities, including work, sports, driving, and travel. By correcting refractive errors precisely, these surgeries improve overall visual quality, boost confidence, and significantly enhance lifestyle comfort, enabling individuals to enjoy a more active, independent, and visually satisfying life.
