What is LASIK Eye Surgery?
//= $blockText; ?>LASIK is a type of laser eye surgery that reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors. The procedure involves these key steps:
- Creating a thin, hinged flap in the cornea using a femtosecond laser
- Gently lifting the flap to expose the inner corneal tissue
- Using an excimer laser to precisely reshape the cornea
- Carefully replacing the flap, which adheres naturally without stitches
The entire procedure typically takes about 15-20 minutes for both eyes and is performed under local anaesthetic eye drops.

LASIK FAQs
How long does it take to recover from LASIK?
Most patients experience significantly improved vision within 24 hours. You can typically return to work within 1-2 days, although complete stabilisation may take a few weeks.
Is LASIK painful?
The procedure itself is painless due to anaesthetic eye drops. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or a gritty sensation for a few hours after the surgery, but this usually resolves quickly.
How long do LASIK results last?
LASIK is considered a permanent vision correction procedure. However, your eyes can still change over time, particularly as you age. A small percentage of patients may need an enhancement procedure in later years.
Am I suitable for LASIK?
Suitability depends on various factors, including your prescription, corneal thickness, and overall eye health. We conduct a comprehensive assessment to determine if LASIK is the best option for you.
What are the risks of LASIK?
While LASIK is generally very safe, all surgical procedures carry some risk. Potential complications, although rare, can include dry eye, night vision disturbances, and the need for additional treatments. We’ll discuss all potential risks thoroughly during your consultation.
Can LASIK treat presbyopia (age-related need for reading glasses)?
Standard LASIK doesn’t correct presbyopia, but we offer advanced techniques like monovision LASIK that can reduce dependence on reading glasses for some patients.
