What is LASIK Surgery?
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a two-step procedure: first, a thin corneal flap is created using a femtosecond laser; then an excimer laser precisely removes corneal tissue to reshape the focusing power of the eye. The flap is replaced — no sutures needed. Vision improvement is typically noticed within hours.
How LASIK Surgery Works
Corneal Flap Creation
ZEISS VISUMAX femtosecond laser creates a precise, ultra-thin corneal flap in 20 seconds. Completely blade-free.
Corneal Reshaping
ZEISS MEL 90 excimer laser removes microscopic amounts of corneal tissue based on your prescription map.
Flap Repositioning
The flap is repositioned — it self-seals naturally. No stitches. Takes 10 seconds.
Rapid Recovery
Vision improves within 4–6 hours. Most patients drive themselves to follow-up the next morning.
Who is Suitable for LASIK Surgery?
Myopia: -0.5 to -9.0 diopters
Hyperopia: +0.5 to +4.0 diopters
Astigmatism: up to 5 diopters
Corneal thickness > 480 microns
Age 18–45
Stable prescription 12 months
LASIK vs SMILE Pro — Which is Better?
Both achieve excellent vision. LASIK creates a corneal flap then reshapes; SMILE Pro removes a small lenticule without any flap — making it truly flapless. SMILE Pro has lower dry-eye risk and no flap-related complications. LASIK is faster per eye. Your pre-op evaluation at FIO Hospital determines which suits your cornea best.
