LASIK (Reduce Dependence On Glasses And Contact Lenses)

· Those in Bangkok seeking permanent vision correction.
· Those with myopia, farsightedness, or astigmatism.
· Those with healthy corneas suitable for laser reshaping.
· Those who want to prevent future eye strain.
· Those who wish to enhance overall eye health.

LASIK is a modern laser eye surgery designed to correct refractive errors such as myopia, farsightedness, and astigmatism. This procedure reshapes the cornea with precision using an Excimer Laser or advanced technologies such as FEMTO LASIK and ReLEX CLEAR. By adjusting the curvature of the cornea, light entering the eye focuses accurately on the retina, resulting in clearer vision. LASIK provides an effective alternative to glasses or contact lenses and can significantly reduce dependence on corrective eyewear.

This procedure employs modern equipment and rigorous evaluation to ensure safe and effective vision correction. LASIK allows for permanent improvement in visual acuity, enhancing daily activities such as driving, reading, working, and sports. Advanced techniques like ReLEX CLEAR and FEMTO LASIK reduce trauma to the cornea, improve precision, and promote faster healing. In addition, the procedure supports long-term eye health by reducing strain from constant use of glasses or contact lenses. Patients can achieve sharper vision, quicker recovery, and a better quality of life with this innovative laser eye treatment.

LASIK begins with consultation by the doctor at our affiliated hospital to assess the condition of the eyes and determine suitability for surgery. During this evaluation, the doctor examines corneal thickness, refractive errors, and overall eye health. A thin corneal flap is carefully created using a microkeratome or femtosecond laser, depending on the chosen method. An Excimer Laser or specialized femtosecond laser then reshapes the cornea, adjusting its curvature to focus light accurately onto the retina; this process corrects myopia, farsightedness, and astigmatism, allowing clearer vision. Advanced techniques such as ReLEX CLEAR uses bladeless technology and small incisions to reduce trauma, promote smoother healing, and shorten recovery time.

Recovery is quick for most patients, with significant improvement in vision often noticeable from the next day. Some mild discomfort or dryness may occur temporarily, but downtime is minimal, allowing a return to daily activities within 1 day to 1 week depending on the procedure.

Q1: When can vision improve after LASIK?
A1: Most patients notice clearer vision within 1 day after LASIK, with full stabilisation in 1 week.

Q2: Does LASIK correct astigmatism?
A2: Yes, LASIK can correct astigmatism with high precision using modern laser technology.

Q3: How long will the results of LASIK last?
A3: LASIK provides permanent vision correction, although natural aging may affect vision later in life.

Q4: Will LASIK prevent future eye strain?
A4: Yes, LASIK reduces dependence on glasses, which can help reduce eye strain during daily activities.

Q5: Can LASIK be performed on both eyes at the same time?
A5: Yes, LASIK usually treats both eyes in the same session, taking about 15 to 30 minutes.
