Lasik Eye Surgery In Amethi

The FDA has approved Lasik as a safe and effective procedure. However, it’s essential to remember that Lasik isn’t suitable for everyone. Some people may not be ideal candidates, and undergoing the procedure could lead to less-than-optimal results. A thorough pre-operative evaluation is crucial to determine if Lasik is the right choice for you

No, the Lasik procedure itself is painless. You'll receive plenty of anesthetic drops to fully numb your eye, so there’s no discomfort during the treatment. You may feel slight pressure around your eye, and after the procedure, a gritty sensation similar to having an eyelash in your eye for a few hours. Most people experience very little pain. If needed, we’ll provide a prescription for a pain reliever, though most patients find that Tylenol, Advil, and some rest are all they need.

The Lasik procedure typically takes less than 10 minutes per eye, with the laser itself needing only 20-50 seconds to correct your vision, depending on your prescription and the level of correction. However, plan to be at the hospital for about an hour and a half on the day of your surgery to allow time for preparation and recovery.

Visual recovery after Lasik varies, typically taking from one day to a week. Most patients can return to normal activities within a day or two, though it may take one to two months for vision to fully stabilize. Many patients achieve driving-level vision or better by the next day, which is one of the exciting benefits of Lasik—clear vision arrives quickly. Initially, your vision might be a bit blurry or fluctuate, but this is normal and should gradually improve each day.

On the day of your surgery, it's essential to have someone drive you home. You'll also need a driver for your post-operative appointment the following day. Most patients are able to drive again by the end of that day.

It’s normal to worry about risks, but Lasik is generally safe with an experienced surgeon. The procedure uses a computer-controlled laser, and strict sterile conditions help prevent infections. Rare complications can include under- or over-correction, dry eye, night glare, or light sensitivity, but most patients experience no issues. We carefully evaluate each patient to ensure they’re a good candidate and are here to discuss any questions you may have so you feel confident and informed.

In most cases, laser vision correction provides a lasting effect, especially if your prescription was stable before treatment. If your genetics cause changes in vision over time, surgery won’t prevent that, but such changes are rare. If needed, a follow-up treatment may be possible years later.
