How Does LASIK Work?
LASIK works by reshaping the cornea—the clear front part of the eye—so that light can focus correctly on the retina.
Using advanced laser technology:
A thin flap is gently created on the cornea
A precise laser reshapes the underlying tissue
The flap is then repositioned to heal naturally
This correction improves how your eyes focus, giving you clearer, sharper vision and often eliminating the need for glasses or contacts.
What to Expect During Your Consultation
Your LASIK journey begins with a detailed consultation, where our specialists will:
- Examine your eyes thoroughly — corneal thickness, shape, and overall eye health
- Check your prescription stability
- Use advanced scans to map your eyes for customized treatment
- Discuss your lifestyle and vision goals
- Explain the LASIK procedure and expected results
This step ensures you are a safe and ideal candidate for LASIK surgery.
How to Prepare for LASIK
To ensure the best results, follow these simple preparation guidelines:
Stop Wearing Contact Lenses
Contact lenses can change the natural shape of your cornea. Switch to glasses for 1–2 weeks before your exam or surgery (as advised by your doctor) to ensure accurate measurements.
Avoid Makeup & Lotions
On the day of your procedure, avoid eye makeup, creams, perfumes, and lotions. This helps keep the eye area clean and reduces the risk of irritation or infection.
Arrange Transportation
You won’t be able to drive right after the procedure. Arrange for a family member or friend to take you home. Eat normally unless your doctor gives special instructions.
