Lasik Surgery for Refractive Error (Glasses)

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a safe, proven, and highly effective laser vision correction procedure that helps patients achieve clear vision and reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses or contact lenses. At FURIA'S EYE CLINIC, we provide advanced LASIK treatment tailored to each patient's unique visual needs.

Whether you have myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), or astigmatism, LASIK can offer a lasting solution with rapid visual recovery.

What is LASIK?

LASIK is a refractive surgery that uses a precise excimer laser to reshape the cornea — the transparent front surface of the eye — correcting the way light enters and focuses on the retina. This reduces or eliminates the need for spectacles or contact lenses.

The LASIK Procedure

Pre-Operative Assessment

A thorough evaluation including corneal topography, pachymetry, and pupil dilation is performed to ensure suitability and plan the treatment accurately.

Corneal Flap Creation

A thin protective flap is created on the corneal surface using a microkeratome or femtosecond laser.

Laser Reshaping

The excimer laser is applied to reshape the underlying corneal tissue precisely according to the patient's prescription.

Flap Repositioning

The corneal flap is gently repositioned. It adheres naturally without stitches, and healing begins immediately.
