What is Laser Vision Correction?
Laser vision correction (LVC) permanently changes the shape of your cornea to focus light accurately onto the retina, eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses. Unlike glasses that sit in front of the eye, LVC corrects the eye itself — permanently. At FIO Hospital, we select the most suitable LVC technique for each patient based on corneal topography, thickness, and prescription.
How Laser Vision Correction Works
Corneal Analysis
ZEISS ATLAS topographer and CIRRUS HD-OCT map every detail of your cornea. This data drives the personalised treatment plan.
Treatment Planning
Computer algorithms calculate the exact tissue to remove. For Contoura Vision, 22,000 data points from your corneal map are used.
Laser Correction
ZEISS excimer or VISUMAX laser delivers the treatment in seconds. Real-time eye tracking ensures precision.
Freedom from Glasses
Most patients achieve 6/6 or better. Life without glasses — driving, swimming, sports, waking up — all clear.
Who is Suitable for Laser Vision Correction?
Tired of glasses or contact lenses
Prescription stable for 1+ years
Active lifestyle — sports, swimming
Dry eye from contact lens use
Glasses unsuitable for profession
Age 18–45 with suitable corneas
Choosing the Right Laser Vision Correction for You
Not all laser corrections are equal. Thin corneas? PRK is safer than LASIK. Dry eyes? SMILE Pro has 60% less dry-eye risk. High prescription (-10 to -20)? ICL is better than ablation. Active sports? SMILE Pro (no flap) is more impact-resistant. At FIO Hospital, your free pre-op evaluation produces a personalised recommendation — we never apply a one-size-fits-all approach.

Laser Vision Correction in Islamabad — FAQ
Which laser vision correction is best in Islamabad?
The best technique depends on your cornea. SMILE Pro has the least dry-eye risk. Contoura Vision is most precise. LASIK is fastest. ICL suits very high powers. FIO Hospital recommends based on your individual corneal map.
How long does laser vision correction last in Islamabad?
Results are permanent. Your corrected corneal shape does not revert. However, natural presbyopia (reading vision loss after age 45) is unrelated to the procedure.
Can laser vision correction fix both near and far vision in Islamabad?
Standard LASIK corrects distance or near vision. PRESBYOND (blended LASIK) can reduce dependency on reading glasses for over-40s. Discuss this with your surgeon.
Is laser vision correction available for high powers in Islamabad?
LASIK/SMILE Pro correct up to -10D. For higher powers, ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) is recommended. FIO Hospital offers the full range of correction options.
What happens if laser vision correction fails in Islamabad?
Under/over-correction affects less than 1% of FIO patients. If needed, an enhancement (retreatment) is performed free of charge within 1 year at FIO Hospital.
