Factors such as corneal thickness, eye health, and age determine whether the surgery is a right fit for you or not.You should be 18 years of age or olderYour eye prescription should be stable for at least one yearYour cornea needs to be thick and healthyIf you have these issues, you are not suitable for LASIK:Unstable refractive errorSevere dry eyeToo thin corneaHistory of certain eye infectionsUncontrolled diabetesAdvanced glaucomaKeratoconus (cone-shaped cornea)Cataract affecting visionPregnant/breastfeeding women are also advised against the surgery, due to hormonal changes that can affect vision stability and corneal structure.The Procedure & AftercareThe procedure of LASIK surgery is simple and precise.Before the surgery, your doctor will perform a comprehensive eye examination, including an assessment of the shape and thickness of your cornea and measurements of refractive errors. On the day of the procedure, your surgeon will apply numbing eye drops to ensure you do not feel any pain. Then, using either a laser or a microkeratome, a surgical instrument, they will create a thin flap on the surface of the cornea. Next, the surgeon will use a specialized excimer laser to reshape the corneal tissue, correcting your refractive error. The laser is programmed to match your eye's unique characteristics. Once the cornea is reshaped, the flap will be carefully repositioned. No stitches are necessary, as the cornea will heal naturally.After the surgery, your doctor will provide you with post-surgery instructions, including guidance on using eye drops and the importance of protecting your eyes during the recovery period.LASIK surgery is not painful. Anesthetic eye drops are used to numb your eyes during the whole procedure so that you don’t feel any pain.
