Refractive Surgery & Lasik
Refractive Surgery & Lasik?
Refractive surgery refers to procedures that correct common vision problems like myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, and presbyopia, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses.
The most popular type is LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) — a quick, painless, and highly effective laser procedure that reshapes the cornea to improve how light is focused on the retina.
Benefits of LASIK
Fast and painless procedure
Immediate visual improvement in most cases
Minimal downtime — return to work in 1–2 days
Long-lasting results
No stitches, bandages, or injections
Other Refractive Options Offered

Contoura Vision – Personalized laser correction using topographic mapping
ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) – For high refractive errors unsuitable for LASIK
