The right person to perform LASIK eye surgery is an ophthalmologist. Many people think that other eye care providers, i.e., optometrists and opticians can also treat blur vision by performing LASIK surgery. However, this is not true. Only an ophthalmologist is certified, qualified, and trained to perform eye surgeries, including LASIK.
Your vision will take around 24 to 48 hours to stabilize after LASIK surgery. You will most likely achieve 20/20 vision after the treatment and see clearly without using eyeglasses or contact lenses. In case your vision is undercorrected, you can again have LASIK surgery to achieve the perfect vision.
LASIK eye surgery results can last up to 10 years or more depending on several factors, such as the patient’s overall health, post-surgery care, age, and other underlying medical conditions. If you follow the doctor’s instructions carefully and maintain your overall health, you will be able to enjoy clear vision for a very long time.
No. You won’t be able to blink during the surgery as a lid speculum or eyelid holding device will be used to keep your eyes open. Besides that, your eyes will be numbed that will further prevent unnecessary movements in the eye during the procedure.
The success rate of LASIK eye treatment is more than 95%. Our eye doctors have ample experience in performing eye surgeries and they also leverage modern technology to carry out the procedure with precision and safety.
Contoura Vision is a type of surgery in which a doctor uses a specialized computer-guided topographic mapping technique to reshape the cornea.
It depends on the nature of work you have. Surgeries and dentistry require clarity so it is best to wait for 48hours before resuming work or else most patients can resume work the next day.
Absolutely no. The eyes look exactly the same even after the laser eye surgery.
Yes. Laser vision correction procedures, such as Bladeless Femto LASIK, Bladeless and Flapless ReLEx Smile LASIK, and other advanced innovations have made the surgery safer, faster, and precise.
Femto LASIK, also known as femtosecond-assisted LASIK, is a type of laser eye surgery. It allows the surgeons to create a corneal flap with the laser rather than using a mechanical cutting tool. After surgery, the flap is placed back in its original position without sutures.
The common side effects of LASIK eye surgery are:
While the conventional LASIK surgery maps about 200 points in the cornea, the Contoura LASIK maps around 22,000 points on the cornea for more accuracy. Contoura LASIK also has fewer complications as compared to the conventional technique and the damage to the tissues is relatively less.
The key difference between PRK and LASIK is the creation of a flap in the cornea. While LASIK surgery requires a thin flap to reshape the cornea, PRK removes the outer layer of the cornea completely. In both scenarios, the flap grows back over time.
No. LASIK eye surgery does not hurt. Before the procedure, the surgeon will place numbing eye drops in both your eyes and only proceed when the solution takes effect. You may still feel slight pressure during the surgery.

To choose the best LASIK eye clinic, you will have to keep the following points in mind:
Consider all these aspects while making a decision and you will be able to choose the best eye care clinic to undergo LASIK surgery in Hyderabad.
The cost of LASIK surgery in Hyderabad ranges from Rs. 35,000 to Rs. 1,10,000 approximately. The exact cost depends on multiple factors, such as the severity of the refractive error, doctor’s fee, hospital charges, type of LASIK, etc. Therefore, the final cost will vary for each patient.
LASIK surgery can cause dryness, flap problems, regression of the vision, and sudden vision changes/loss. However, these are temporary side effects of LASIK. The chances of LASIK permanently damaging your eyes or affecting the vision are rare.
LASIK surgery is covered under insurance only under certain conditions, i.e., if your eyes refractive power is higher than or equal to 7.5 diopters. If the refractive error is lower than this limit, the insurance providers won’t approve the claim and you’ll have to bear the expense of vision correction from your own pocket.
Though LASIK surgery can be performed at any age group, doctors often recommend that the ideal age range for LASIK is between 25 to 40 years. This is because the eyeglasses and contact lens prescriptions usually stabilize by the age of 25. And a stable prescription is the eligibility criteria for a LASIK candidate.

Yes. LASIK is a long-term solution for blurry vision or refractive errors. It reshapes the cornea to reduce the eye power and gives a long-lasting effect. However, LASIK cannot prevent further changes in the cornea. You may notice minor changes in vision in the future due to your new eye power.
Yes. LASIK completely eliminates the dependence on eyeglasses or contact lenses through a simple and minimally invasive procedure.
Yes. The corneal thickness test is a very important test to determine the suitability of the person to undergo LASIK surgery. It is because the surgeon has to remove the corneal tissues to reshape the cornea and correct the refractive errors. If there are not sufficient corneal tissues, you won’t be eligible for LASIK operation.
People who suffer from vision problems see LASIK surgery as a lifesaving procedure. However, people are unaware that around 20% to 30% of people who wish to undergo LASIK surgery are denied treatment because of inadequate corneal thickness. Therefore, it is always advised that you consult an eye specialist first and then start expecting from the procedure. If you keep your hopes up and then find out that you are not an eligible candidate for LASIK, then you will feel disappointed.
You can contact Pristyn Care and consult with our best eye surgeons to learn as much as possible about the treatment.
LASIK surgery is not advised to a patient if they have any of the following:
In all these situations, the eye specialist will recommend an alternative treatment method to correct vision problems.
LASIK treatment has become a popular way to restore clear vision in patients over the years. This is because it has many aspects that are beneficial for the patients. The key benefits of the LASIK eye treatment are:
Due to all these advantages, people are becoming more inclined to LASIK and other latest forms of vision correction too.
As there are different types of LASIK eye surgery available, patients often have a hard time determining which laser procedure is the best for the eyes. LASIK itself is a type of refractive surgery that is performed with the help of a laser. People have heard many names for LASIK, such as Femto LASIK, Contoura LASIK, Smile, etc.
However, you should understand that the primary difference between these types of surgeries is the type of laser used. It is either an excimer laser or a femtosecond laser that is used to carry out the procedure or the technique is slightly different.
But there are many other types of refractive surgeries that can help a person to correct vision problems. These different types of vision correction procedures are:
Other than these techniques, there are other laser-based procedures that can correct refractive errors and treat other eye disorders like cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, etc.
You should understand that undergoing LASIK surgery is not enough to get the desired results and correct all the vision problems effectively. The most crucial thing is the recovery period. In the first few days, your eyes will itch, feel gritty, burn, or become watery. Your vision may also take 24-48 hours to stabilize. And the corneal flap will take even longer to heal completely.
The complete recovery time after LASIK is around one month during which you’ll have to take many precautions and follow the doctor’s advice strictly. If you don’t follow the doctor’s instructions, there is a possibility that your final outcome of LASIK won’t be exactly what you hoped for.
Here are some common post-surgery care tips that will help you to recover quickly and get the best results from LASIK:
