LASIK Surgery

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is an advanced refractive eye surgery that reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. By precisely modifying corneal curvature with computer-guided laser technology, LASIK allows light to focus accurately onto the retina, significantly reducing or eliminating daily dependence on glasses and contact lenses.

Signs You May Need Vision Correction

Refractive errors prevent the eye from bending light properly onto the retina. LASIK is evaluated for adults with stable refractive errors who experience visual limitations such as:

  • Blurred distance vision: Difficulty seeing distant road signs, television screens, or recognizing faces across a room (characteristic of myopia).
  • Blurred close-up vision or eye fatigue: Difficulty focusing on reading material or near digital tasks without visual strain (associated with hyperopia or presbyopia).
  • Distorted or stretched vision: Visual distortion, shadowing, or ghosting at both near and far distances (associated with astigmatism).
  • Frequent squinting and eye strain: Needing to narrow the eyes repeatedly to achieve clear focus, often resulting in forehead tension or headaches.
  • Contact lens intolerance: Discomfort, dry eyes, or chronic irritation from regular contact lens wear.
