What is LASIK Eye Surgery?
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular laser eye surgery that corrects refractive vision problems such as:
- Myopia (Nearsightedness)
- Hyperopia (Farsightedness)
- Astigmatism
The procedure reshapes the cornea (the clear front part of your eye), allowing light entering the eye to be properly focused onto the retina, thus improving vision.

How Does LASIK Surgery Work?
At Vasan Eye Care, the LASIK procedure is simple, precise, and typically completed in under 20 minutes. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:
- Pre-operative Evaluation
Before the surgery, a comprehensive eye exam is conducted to ensure you’re a suitable candidate. Tests include:
- Corneal thickness measurement
- Pupil size assessment
- Mapping the shape of the cornea (topography)
- Checking for dry eyes and other conditions
- Creating the Corneal Flap
Using either a microkeratome (blade) or a femtosecond laser (bladeless LASIK), a thin flap is created in the cornea.
- Reshaping the Cornea
An excimer laser is used to precisely remove microscopic amounts of tissue, reshaping the cornea to correct vision.
- Repositioning the Flap
The flap is gently placed back into position where it naturally adheres without stitches.
- Post-Operative Care
You’ll rest briefly and receive post-surgery instructions. Most patients resume normal activities within 24 to 48 hours.
Types of LASIK Offered at Vasan Eye Care
Depending on your eye health and lifestyle needs, we offer various types of LASIK procedures, including:
- Conventional LASIK – Traditional laser vision correction for common refractive errors.
- Bladeless LASIK (Femto LASIK) – Uses femtosecond laser for a safer and more precise flap creation.

Our specialists will guide you on the most suitable option after your evaluation.
