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.
