Procedure

How lasik works.

A step-by-step look at what happens during this procedure.

1

Corneal Flap Creation

A femtosecond laser creates a thin, precise corneal flap on the eye's surface. The flap is gently lifted to expose the underlying corneal tissue for reshaping.

2

Corneal Reshaping

An excimer laser removes microscopic amounts of corneal tissue based on your prescription. The laser precisely reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors and focus light properly on the retina.

3

Flap Repositioning

The corneal flap is carefully repositioned back to its original position. The flap adheres naturally without requiring stitches, acting as a natural bandage.

4

Immediate Visual Improvement

Most patients notice improved vision immediately after the procedure. The cornea begins healing naturally, with vision continuing to stabilize over the following days.

5

Natural Healing Process

The corneal flap heals and bonds securely within 24-48 hours. The reshaped cornea permanently maintains its new curvature, providing long-lasting vision correction.

Recovery

Recovery & aftercare.

What to expect at each stage of your recovery journey.

Immediate Recovery (0-24 hours)Early Recovery (1-7 days)Complete Recovery (1-3 months)

Immediate Recovery (0-24 hours)

Mild discomfort, tearing, and blurred vision are common immediately after LASIK. Rest with eyes closed is recommended. Protective eye shields are worn during sleep to prevent rubbing.

Early Recovery (1-7 days)

Vision improves significantly within the first week. Most patients return to work and daily activities within 2-3 days. Prescribed eye drops prevent infection and reduce inflammation during healing.

Complete Recovery (1-3 months)

Vision continues to stabilize and sharpen over 3 months. Dry eye symptoms gradually resolve. Final visual acuity is achieved as the cornea fully heals and adapts to its new shape.

Outcomes

Success & outcomes.

Excellent Visual Acuity

Over 96% of patients achieve 20/20 vision or better after LASIK, with many experiencing even sharper vision than with glasses or contacts. Visual clarity is typically noticeable within 24 hours.

Freedom from Corrective Lenses

Most patients no longer require glasses or contact lenses for daily activities. This provides lifestyle benefits for sports, swimming, travel, and career opportunities previously limited by vision correction needs.

Long-Lasting Results

LASIK provides permanent corneal reshaping with stable, lasting vision correction. While age-related changes like presbyopia may occur after 40, the refractive correction achieved through LASIK remains stable for decades.

Enhanced Quality of Life

Patients report improved confidence, convenience, and quality of life after LASIK. The procedure eliminates daily hassles of glasses maintenance, contact lens care, and vision-related limitations in professional and personal activities.

Myths vs Facts

Common misconceptions.

Let's clear up some of the most common myths about lasik.

MythLASIK is painful and has a long recovery
MythLASIK results are temporary and vision deteriorates
MythEveryone is a suitable candidate for LASIK

What happens if lasik is delayed?

  • Leaving refractive errors uncorrected does not directly harm eye health but significantly impacts quality of life, safety, and daily functioning. Untreated vision problems can lead to eye strain, headaches, reduced productivity, and increased accident risk while driving or working. Progressive dependence on stronger corrective lenses may occur as prescriptions change over time without permanent correction.
