What is LASIK Surgery?

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is the most popular and effective laser eye surgery used to correct refractive errors. It reshapes the cornea using a precision laser, allowing light to focus properly on the retina, which results in clear vision.

The procedure can correct:

• Myopia (nearsightedness)
• Hyperopia (farsightedness)
• Astigmatism (irregular curvature of the cornea)

LASIK is often called specs removal surgery or eye power removal surgery, as it reduces or eliminates dependence on glasses and contact lenses.

Symptoms and Conditions That Require LASIK

You may consider LASIK if you experience:

• Blurred or distorted vision due to myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism
• Dependence on glasses or contact lenses for daily activities
• Eye strain or headaches from prolonged use of corrective lenses
• Difficulty in sports, driving, or outdoor activities due to glasses or lenses

Causes of Refractive Errors

LASIK surgery addresses refractive errors, which occur when the cornea is irregularly shaped or the eye is too long or short. This prevents light from focusing correctly on the retina, leading to vision problems. The main causes include:

• Genetic factors
• Eye shape abnormalities
• Age-related changes
• Long-term strain or vision fatigue

Diagnosis Before LASIK Surgery

At Curis Life in Andheri West, we conduct a comprehensive eye evaluation before recommending LASIK:

• Corneal Thickness Test – Measures corneal strength to ensure eligibility for LASIK.
• Pupil Size Assessment – Helps prevent night vision issues post-surgery.
• Refraction Test – Determines the exact eye power.
• Topography Mapping – Creates a detailed map of the cornea to guide precision treatment.
• General Eye Health Examination – To rule out glaucoma, dry eyes, or retinal disorders.

This thorough screening ensures safe results and rules out complications.

Eligibility for LASIK Surgery

Not everyone is suitable for LASIK. Our eye specialists in Andheri West evaluate eligibility based on:

• Age above 18 years
• Stable eye power for at least one year
• Adequate corneal thickness
• No active eye diseases (glaucoma, cataracts, keratoconus, severe dry eye)
• Good general health without autoimmune conditions

For those not eligible, alternatives like PRK surgery or SMILE eye surgery may be recommended.

The LASIK Procedure Step by Step

1. Preparation – Numbing eye drops are applied.
2. Corneal Flap Creation – A thin flap is made using a microkeratome or femtosecond laser.
3. Laser Reshaping – The excimer laser reshapes the cornea according to your prescription.
4. Flap Replacement – The flap is repositioned, and natural healing begins immediately.

The surgery takes about 15–20 minutes for both eyes and is a painless laser eye surgery.

Recovery After LASIK

• Most patients notice improved vision within 24 hours.
• Mild dryness, glare, or halos may occur temporarily.
• Use prescribed lubricating eye drops and medications.
• Avoid rubbing the eyes and protect them from dust and bright light.
• Avoid swimming and heavy exercise for 2 weeks.
• Regular follow-ups ensure stable and long-term results.

Benefits of LASIK Surgery Over Glasses and Lenses

• Clear vision without dependence on glasses or contact lenses
• Quick recovery and minimal downtime
• Safe, precise, and customized for your eyes
• Permanent correction for most patients
• Boost in confidence, comfort, and lifestyle

Risks and Complications of LASIK

Although LASIK is safe, potential risks include:

• Temporary dryness and irritation
• Glare or halos at night
• Fluctuating vision during recovery
• Rare complications such as flap issues or under-correction

Our expert ophthalmologists in Andheri West ensure that risks are minimized with proper screening, advanced technology, and careful follow-up.

Precision Medicine

At Curis Life, we believe in precision medicine. Every eye is unique, and our approach involves customizing the LASIK procedure based on corneal thickness, eye shape, lifestyle needs, and long-term vision goals. This ensures safer surgeries, better outcomes, and reduced risk of complications.
