Steps Involved in LASIK Eye Surgery

At Pristyn Care, we use all types of LASIK to correct refractive errors, including conventional LASIK, SMILE, Contoura, and others. The procedure involves the following steps:

  • The doctor puts eye drops in your eyes to numb them. Then a lid speculum is placed inside the eyes to hold them open.
  • A suction ring is placed over the eyes to restrict cornea movements.
  • Then the surgeon places the laser over the eye to remove the flap over the cornea. In standard LASIK, the flap is created using a scalpel.
  • Once the flap is removed, the laser cuts tiny portions of the cornea to reshape it until the ideal shape is achieved.
  • To correct myopia, the cornea is flattened a little bit, and to correct hyperopia, the cornea is made steep.
  • After reshaping, the flap is placed back in the original position without any stitches and left to heal naturally.

The corneal correction itself takes only 10 minutes, and the preparation takes around 15-20 minutes. Overall, the treatment takes around 30 minutes, and you can go back home on the same day. For more information, you can contact the best LASIK surgeon in Chandigarh and find out if you are an eligible candidate for LASIK surgery.
