LASIK Surgery Should You Get It Done?

Still waking up every morning and reaching for your glasses? You are not alone. Millions of people in India wear glasses or contact lenses every single day and most of them have one question: "Can I get rid of my specs permanently?" The answer for most people is YES. It is called LASIK surgery. And in this blog, we will tell you everything you need to know in simple, honest language.

Intro

What is LASIK Surgery?

LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis. We know that sounds complicated. Simply put: A laser gently reshapes your cornea (the front part of your eye) so that light focuses correctly on your retina. Result? Clear vision without glasses. The procedure takes about 15 minutes. Both eyes are done on the same day. Most patients see clearly within 24 hours.

Who is LASIK Suitable For?

LASIK works best if you:

✅ Are 18 years or older

✅ Have stable eye power for at least 1 year

✅ Have a healthy cornea

✅ Have power between -1 to -10 (in most cases)

✅ Are not pregnant or breastfeeding

Not sure if you qualify ? A simple pre-LASIK screening test will give you the answer. It takes 30 minutes and it changes everything.
