Am I a Candidate for LASIK?
LASIK is a safe and effective procedure for many people, but not everyone is an ideal candidate. You may be a good fit for LASIK if:
Your corneas have the right thickness for laser reshaping
You have realistic expectations about the results
You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
A comprehensive eye examination at Pannu Laser Vision Institute will confirm whether LASIK is right for you. Our specialists use advanced diagnostic technology to evaluate your eyes and recommend the safest, most effective vision correction option.

Determining LASIK Eligibility
Before moving forward with LASIK, a thorough evaluation is essential to ensure the procedure is safe and effective for you. During your eligibility assessment, our specialists will examine your prescription history, corneal thickness, eye shape, and overall eye health. Advanced diagnostic scans are used to detect conditions like dry eyes, corneal irregularities, or other factors that may affect results.
If you meet the criteria for LASIK, we will recommend the best treatment plan tailored to your vision needs. If not, we will guide you toward alternative vision correction options. Our goal is to provide clear vision with the highest level of safety and precision.
During your consultation, our team will assess:
- Comprehensive Eye Health: Check for any eye conditions, infections, or diseases that may affect LASIK results.
- Prescription Stability: Evaluate your current vision prescription and its consistency over time.
- Corneal Measurements: Measure thickness, shape, and curvature to ensure your eyes are suitable for LASIK.
- Pupil Size & Eye Mapping: Advanced scans create a detailed map of your eyes for precise, customized treatment.

The LASIK Procedure: Step-by-Step
Myopia
(nearsightedness)
Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a vision condition where distant objects appear blurry while close objects remain clear. It occurs when the eye is slightly longer than normal or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it.
Hyperopia
(farsightedness)
Hyperopia, or farsightedness, is a common vision condition where close objects appear blurry while distant objects may remain clear. It occurs when the eyeball is too short or the cornea has too little curvature, causing light to focus behind the retina instead of directly on it.
Astigmatism
(blurry vision at all distances)
Astigmatism is a common vision condition caused by an irregularly shaped cornea or lens, which prevents light from focusing evenly on the retina. This results in blurred or distorted vision at all distances.
