Surgical Procedures is the only way to get rid of glasses permanently. These surgeries are safe & painless and aid in treating short-sightedness, hyperopia (farsightedness), and presbyopia. There are various surgical procedures available, including LASIK, ICL, PRK, SMILE, RLE, etc. that can correct the refractive error in the eye and provide clear vision, thereby eliminating the need for spectacles or contact lenses.

LASIK surgery is the most preferred and most commonly done surgical procedure that to correct a wide range of refractive errors.

LASIK is the acronym for laser in situ keratomileuses. The name refers to the use of a laser to reshape the cornea without invading the adjacent cell layers. LASIK vision correction has been performed around the world for over 25 years. It was first performed in the U.S. in 1991

However not everyone is fit for LASIK. There are a number of factors that we must evaluate before we can determine who is an eligible candidate for LASIK. Some doctors deem certain pre-existing conditions contraindications to the procedure and will not perform surgery if you possess them. But once you clear fitness test for LASIK, you can safely go for LASIK and enjoy spec-free vision for life.

The effects of the LASIK procedure are permanent and cannot be reverseed. However, it is important to realize that a person's eye can still change internally. That is why LASIK eye surgery is not recommended for children because their eyes change a great deal, and their vision would need to be fine-tuned in a few years. If the procedure is performed after the age of 18, the chance of long-term stable correction is more likely. Rarely, the eyes of patients over the age of 18 can also change.

Most patients who have the LASIK procedure do not need glasses for their daily activities. However, patients will need to wear reading glasses when they reach the age of 40. This is caused by the normal aging of the eye, also known as presbyopia. It is important to note that this condition occurs with or without LASIK vision correction. So, it is advisable to go for LASIK as soon as your glasses number stabilizes after age of 18. So that you can gain maximum benefits from LASIK for years. The ideal age for LASIK is between 19 to 24 years. 

The whole procedure takes about 10 to 15 minutes for two eyes, including creating the flap and performing the laser procedure. The actual laser is last for just few seconds to less than 60 seconds per eye depending on your glasses number. The procedure is performed under topical anesthetic eye drops that numbs the eye. You can have bilateral simultaneous LASIK eye surgery that is both eyes done on the same day. Overall, Bilateral LASIK eye surgery has been shown to be no injection, no pain, no patch 15 min procedure with excellent safety and efficacy and quick recovery.

Fast visual recovery characterizes this operation. Most patients achieve good vision the day of surgery and find that their eyes feel fairly normal within a day.
