What is LASIK Surgery?

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular laser eye surgery used to correct refractive errors. During the procedure, a highly precise laser reshapes the cornea so that light focuses correctly on the retina, resulting in clearer vision.

LASIK is a quick, minimally invasive procedure that typically takes only a few minutes for each eye and allows most patients to return to normal activities within a short time.

What is Refractive Surgery?

Refractive Surgery is a broader term that includes different procedures designed to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses by correcting refractive errors.

Depending on your eye condition, treatment options may include:

• LASIK
• Femto LASIK
• Contoura Vision
• PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)
• SMILE (where suitable)
• Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) evaluation (if applicable)

Following a comprehensive eye examination, Dr. Pooja Kanodia recommends the most suitable procedure based on your eye health, corneal thickness, lifestyle, and prescription.

Vision Problems Corrected by LASIK

LASIK and Refractive Surgery can effectively treat:

• Myopia (Nearsightedness)
• Hyperopia (Farsightedness)
• Astigmatism
• Mild to Moderate Refractive Errors
• Dependence on Glasses
• Contact Lens Intolerance

You may be a suitable candidate if you:
