LASIK is a laser procedure that reshapes the cornea to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
Candidates should have stable vision, healthy corneas, and no major eye disease. A full assessment is required.
LASIK is considered safe and effective when performed on suitable candidates by an experienced surgeon.
Most patients feel little to no pain during LASIK. Mild discomfort or dryness afterward is common.
The laser treatment itself takes only a few minutes per eye, while the full visit may take about 1 hour.
Many patients notice improved vision within 24 hours, with continued improvement over several days.
LASIK permanently reshapes the cornea, but natural aging changes such as reading vision may still occur later.
Soft lenses should usually be stopped for several days before evaluation. Rigid lenses may require longer.
Avoid rubbing your eyes, swimming, dusty environments, and eye makeup for the period advised by your doctor.
Most patients use prescribed drops for several days to a few weeks depending on healing.
A cataract is clouding of the natural lens inside the eye that causes blurry or dim vision.
Blurred vision, glare from lights, faded colors, double vision, and difficulty driving at night are common symptoms.
Surgery is recommended when cataracts begin affecting daily activities such as reading, driving, or work.
Cataract surgery is one of the most common and successful procedures worldwide.
Most cataract procedures take around 15-30 minutes.
The procedure is usually painless with local anesthesia or numbing drops.
Many patients notice clearer vision within a few days, with full healing over several weeks.
The cataract does not return, but the capsule behind the lens may become cloudy later and can be treated with laser.
This depends on your healing and vision quality. Your doctor will advise when it is safe.
Avoid rubbing the eye, heavy lifting, dirty water exposure, and activities restricted by your surgeon.
An intraocular lens (IOL) is the artificial lens placed inside the eye during cataract surgery.
Common options include monofocal, multifocal, extended depth of focus, and toric lenses.
A monofocal lens provides clear vision at one main distance, usually far vision.
A multifocal lens is designed to improve vision at multiple distances and reduce dependence on glasses.
A toric lens corrects astigmatism during cataract surgery.
The best lens depends on your eye health, lifestyle, and visual needs.
Many patients reduce their need for glasses depending on the chosen lens type.
IOLs are designed to be permanent and usually last for life.
Premium lenses may benefit patients who want more freedom from glasses, depending on eligibility.
