About Blade-Free LASIK Surgery
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is laser eye surgery that corrects short-sightedness, long-sightedness and astigmatism.
The laser reshapes your cornea so that many patients no longer need glasses or contact lenses for most activities. The procedure is done under numbing eye drops and is usually quick and comfortable.
The Procedure
LASIK is completed in just 15 minutes for both eyes. Here’s what happens:
- Preparation: Numbing eye drops are applied, and you may receive mild sedation
- Flap Creation: A thin corneal flap is created using a femtosecond laser or microkeratome
- Laser Reshaping: An excimer laser precisely removes microscopic tissue to correct your vision
- Flap Replacement: The flap is repositioned and heals naturally without stitches
You remain awake but comfortable throughout the procedure, focusing on a target light while the laser works.
Recovery Timeline
- Immediate: Vision improvement noticed right away, though slightly blurry initially
- 24 Hours: Most patients can drive and return to work
- First Week: Vision continues to stabilise with minimal discomfort
- Full Recovery: Complete healing takes 3-6 months for optimal results
