What are the procedure options available for Lasik Service?

The most popular refractive surgery is the laser procedure called Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis surgery (LASIK). The doctor will use a femtosecond laser to create a corneal flap and then shape the corneal tissue with an excimer laser. As a result, vision will improve, and you may no longer use your eyeglasses or contact lenses. Sometimes, the vision may improve to the point where you will use thinner spectacles. Another surgical procedure is advanced surface ablation (ASA), which comes in the form of PhotoRefractive Keratectomy (PRK). The procedure involves removing the epithelial layer of the cornea and shaping the corneal tissue with an excimer laser.

Are there any special instructions or premedication required for the consultation?

Yes, you will be required to stop contact lens use 1 week before the consultation and bring records of previous eye examinations and the spectacles you’re currently using.
