Types of Vision Correction Procedures

Find the Right LASIK Procedure for You

At the Visual Aids Centre, we offer four advanced vision-correction procedures. Each uses laser technology but differs slightly in how it reshapes your cornea and how quickly you recover.

Here’s a simple overview:

Standard LASIK

The most common option for correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, and mild astigmatism. It involves creating a thin flap and reshaping the cornea with an Excimer Laser. Recovery usually takes 2–3 days.

Contoura Vision

An upgraded version of LASIK that uses 22,000-point topography mapping to customize treatment for every tiny corneal irregularity. Patients often notice sharper vision, especially at night, and faster stability.

SMILE PRO

A flap-less, next-generation laser procedure using the VisuMax 800 system. It removes a microscopic lenticule through a small incision, making it ideal for athletes, frequent travelers, or anyone prone to dry eyes. Most people resume work the next day.

PRK / Trans-PRK

Recommended for people with thin corneas or those in defense, police, or aviation jobs where flap creation isn’t permitted. It treats the surface layer of the cornea and heals completely within about a week.

Each procedure is equally safe and FDA-approved. During your free screening, we’ll measure your corneal thickness, prescription, and lifestyle needs to recommend the best one for you.

Am I Suitable for LASIK?

Not Everyone Is a Candidate — and That’s a Good Thing

LASIK is a safe and effective procedure, but only if your eyes meet certain medical standards.

That’s why we perform a comprehensive pre-surgery screening using 22,000-point corneal mapping, OCT scans, and tear film analysis before recommending any laser treatment.

✅ You’re Likely a Good Candidate If:

  • You’re between 21 and 45 years old.
  • Your prescription has been stable for at least 12 months.
  • You have healthy corneas (typically thicker than 480 microns).
  • You have myopia (up to -8.00 D), hypermetropia (up to +4.00 D), or astigmatism (up to 4.00 D).
  • You don’t have any active eye diseases or infections.

❌ You May Not Qualify If:

  • You’re pregnant or breastfeeding (temporary hormonal changes affect corneas).
  • You have keratoconus, corneal ectasia, or very thin corneas.
  • You have uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1c > 7%).
  • You suffer from severe dry eyes or autoimmune conditions like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.
  • Your prescription keeps changing frequently.

How LASIK Works

A Simple, Painless 10-Minute Procedure

Modern LASIK is quick, safe, and almost entirely painless. At the Visual Aids Centre, each step is carefully planned and performed personally by the Doctor to ensure precision and comfort.

Step-by-Step Process

1. Eye Mapping
We begin with a detailed scan using 22,000 data points to map your cornea’s surface. This helps design a fully customized treatment plan.

2. Preparation
Numbing eye drops are applied — no injections or pain. You’ll stay awake, but comfortable.

3. Laser Correction
The laser reshapes the cornea to correct your refractive error. The process takes less than 10 minutes per eye.

4. Recovery
After a short rest, you can go home the same day. Most patients notice clearer vision within 24–48 hours.

What You’ll Feel

  • No pain, just mild pressure for a few seconds.
  • Vision may be hazy right after, improving sharply by the next morning.
  • Temporary dryness or light sensitivity for a few days is normal.

Why It’s Safe

  • Automated eye tracking keeps the laser perfectly aligned, even if you move.
  • Femtosecond precision eliminates human error.
  • Sterile environment and single-use instruments for every patient.

Before & After Care / Recovery Timeline

Preparing for Your LASIK Surgery

Good preparation helps your eyes heal faster and ensures the best visual results. Before your surgery, follow these simple guidelines:

  1. Stop wearing contact lenses
    Soft lenses: 3–5 days before your eye scan.
    Rigid or gas-permeable lenses: 2–3 weeks before.
    Contacts can change your cornea’s shape, affecting measurements.
  2. Avoid eye makeup and creams
    Don’t apply mascara, kajal, or eye cream for 24 hours before surgery.
    Keep the eye area clean and free of residue.
  3. Arrange transport
    You’ll be able to walk out comfortably, but should not drive on surgery day.
  4. Stay hydrated and rested
    Get a good night’s sleep before surgery.
    Eat a light meal and avoid caffeine or alcohol on the day.

On the Day of Surgery

  • Expect to spend 1.5 to 2 hours at the centre (including preparation and rest).
  • The actual laser procedure takes only 10–15 minutes per eye.
  • Numbing drops are used, so there’s no pain, just mild pressure for a few seconds.
  • You’ll rest for a short time before going home with protective eyewear.

After LASIK – Do’s and Don’ts

✅ Do:

  • Use prescribed eye drops exactly as directed.
  • Wear sunglasses outdoors to protect from dust and sunlight.
  • Rest your eyes and take short breaks from screens.

❌ Don’t:

  • Rub or press your eyes for at least 1 month.
  • Swim or use saunas for 2 weeks.
  • Apply eye makeup for 2 weeks.
  • Play contact sports for 3–4 weeks.

Recovery Timeline

Time What to Expect
24 Hours Clearer vision, mild dryness or light sensitivity.
2–3 Days Resume desk work and normal activities.
2 Weeks Can apply makeup and resume swimming.
1 Month Vision stabilizes; final check-up confirms results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you want to know about LASIK, recovery, and results.

Can LASIK be done if I have diabetes?

+
Yes — if your diabetes is well-controlled (HbA1c ≤ 7%) and you have no eye complications. Your eye doctor will confirm stability before surgery.

Is LASIK allowed for army, police or aviation jobs?

+
Yes, most defense and aviation departments accept LASIK, SMILE PRO, or PRK if your cornea is healthy and vision is stable. Always check the current medical-fitness circular before applying.

Can LASIK cause permanent dry eyes?

+
Most patients notice mild dryness for a few weeks. It’s temporary and improves with lubricating drops. Permanent dryness is very rare when screening is done correctly.

Can LASIK make you go blind?

+
No. Serious complications are extremely rare — less than 0.1%. Proper pre-operative screening and modern laser systems prevent sight-threatening issues.

Is LASIK better than ICL (Implantable Contact Lens)?

+
LASIK suits most people up to –8 D, while ICL is best for higher powers or thin corneas. Your doctor will recommend the safer option after corneal scans.

Which is better for thin corneas — LASIK or PRK?

+
PRK/Trans-PRK is usually preferred because it doesn’t require a corneal flap. Healing takes longer but safety is higher for thinner corneas.

Can LASIK fix both distance and reading vision?

+
Standard LASIK corrects distance vision. For patients over 40, monovision LASIK or reading-glass use may still be needed due to natural lens aging (presbyopia).

Can LASIK be repeated later if my vision changes?

+
Yes, in most cases — if the cornea remains thick enough. Many patients who had LASIK 10–15 years ago safely undergo enhancement surgery today.

How long does LASIK last?

+
The results are permanent. Once the cornea is reshaped, it stays stable. Only age-related vision changes (like presbyopia) can occur later in life.

Can I have cataract surgery after LASIK?

+
Yes. Cataract surgery is safe after LASIK — the lens is replaced, not the cornea. Your surgeon will use specific measurements to plan the lens power.

Can I fly after LASIK surgery?

+
You can fly after 48 hours once your vision stabilizes. Air-pressure changes don’t affect LASIK-treated eyes. Carry lubricating drops for dryness during long flights.

When can I wear eye makeup again after LASIK?

+
Avoid eye makeup for two weeks to prevent irritation or infection. You can resume light makeup once your doctor confirms the cornea has healed.
