LASIK Eye Surgery in Rishi Nagar, Ludhiana

Suitability depends on your age, how stable your spectacle power has been, and the thickness, shape and surface health of your cornea. These are measured during your evaluation, and the recommendation is based on your results.

LASIK reshapes your cornea with a laser. ICL leaves the cornea untouched and places a thin lens inside the eye. ICL is often considered when power is high or the cornea is too thin for LASIK. Your doctor explains which suits you after your tests.

Numbing drops are used during the procedure. You may feel pressure, and some irritation or watering afterwards is common. This usually settles with the prescribed drops.

Many people notice clearer vision soon after the procedure, but vision can fluctuate during the first few days. Your doctor gives you specific guidance on screens, driving and returning to work.

That cannot be promised. LASIK corrects your current power, but reading glasses may still be needed later in life as presbyopia develops with age.

Possible effects include dry eye, glare, halos and reduced night vision, which often improve as the eye heals. A rarer risk is corneal ectasia, which is why corneal thickness and shape are checked carefully before surgery.

It depends on the cause and severity. Dry eyes are treated first, and some people are advised to wait. With very high power or a thin cornea, ICL or another option may be discussed instead.
