Factors That Make You a Good LASIK Candidate

Determining your eligibility for LASIK involves a comprehensive evaluation of multiple factors beyond just your prescription strength. Knowing these criteria can help you make informed decisions about your vision correction options.

Basic Eligibility Requirements

To qualify for LASIK eye surgery, you must meet several fundamental criteria:

• Be at least 18 years old, though most surgeons prefer patients over 21
• Have a consistent vision without shifts in prescription for at least one year
• Possess healthy corneas with adequate thickness
• Maintain good overall health without autoimmune conditions

Prescription Limitations

LASIK can effectively correct specific ranges of refractive errors:

• Myopia (nearsightedness): typically treated up to -8.00 diopters, and in some cases up to -12.00 diopters, depending on corneal thickness and overall eye health
• Hyperopia (farsightedness): up to +6.00 diopters
• Astigmatism: up to 6.00 diopters

Eye Health Considerations

Your eyes must be free from certain conditions that could affect healing:

• Active eye infections or injuries
• Severe dry eye syndrome
• Glaucoma or cataracts
• Keratoconus or irregular corneal surfaces

Additionally, pregnancy and nursing can temporarily disqualify you due to hormonal changes affecting vision stability. A thorough pre-operative examination at Visual Aids Centre will determine your suitability for the procedure.

The LASIK Timeline: From Prep to Recovery

Understanding how LASIK works from start to finish can make the experience feel less stressful and more manageable.

Pre-Operative Preparation

Your LASIK journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where we evaluate your candidacy. This includes:

• Corneal topography mapping to assess surface curvature
• Pachymetry testing to measure corneal thickness
• Wavefront analysis to detect higher-order aberrations
• Pupil size measurement under various lighting conditions

You’ll need to stop wearing contact lenses 1–2 weeks before surgery (or longer for hard lenses) to allow your cornea to return to its natural shape. Our team provides detailed pre-operative instructions covering medications, eye care, and what to expect on the day of surgery.

The LASIK Procedure

The actual surgery takes just 15-20 minutes for both eyes. Here’s what happens:

1. Anaesthetic Application: Numbing eye drops eliminate discomfort.
2. Flap Creation: The femtosecond laser precisely cuts a flap in the outer layer of the eye.
3. Corneal Reshaping: An excimer laser precisely removes tissue to correct your prescription.
4. Flap Repositioning: The flap naturally adheres without stitches.

Recovery and Aftercare

LASIK recovery is typically swift and comfortable:

• First 24 hours: Rest with eyes closed as much as possible; vision begins improving.
• First week: Avoid strenuous activities, swimming, and eye rubbing.
• First month: Vision keeps improving over time, with follow-ups to track your recovery.

At INR 1,50,000 for both eyes, our SMILE Pro eye surgery package includes all pre-operative testing, the procedure itself, and post-operative care visits.
