About LASIK

What is LASIK?

Tired of wearing glasses or contact lenses every day? LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a safe, proven, and permanent solution to correct refractive errors like myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (long-sightedness), and astigmatism.

At Drishtikunj Netralaya, Danapur, Patna, our refractive surgery expert Dr. Nimmi Rani – Gold Medalist MS & Fellow of Aravind Eye Hospital uses state-of-the-art laser technology to provide customised LASIK with exceptional precision and outcomes.

How Does LASIK Work?

LASIK reshapes the cornea (the transparent front surface of the eye) using a precise excimer laser. A thin flap is created in the corneal tissue, the underlying stroma is reshaped, and the flap is repositioned. This allows light to focus accurately on the retina, resulting in clear vision without spectacles or contact
lenses.

  • Procedure time: 15 minutes for both eyes

  • Anaesthesia: Topical eye drops only – no injections

  • Recovery: Vision improvement within 24 hours; return to work in 2–3 days

For most patients within the treatable range (typically myopia up to -8.00D to -10.00D, hyperopia, and astigmatism), LASIK can reduce dependence on glasses to zero or near-zero. Outcomes depend on your prescription, corneal thickness, and age. A consultation at Drishtikunj Netralaya, Patna will provide a realistic assessment.
