The operation is performed to improve the common eye problems (myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, astigmatism).\n
\nThe procedure lasts 10 minutes per eye. A patient may return home in a few minutes after the LASIK operation. The vision is stabilized completely from a few days to several weeks.\n
\n100% of the patients stop wearing glasses and contact lenses after the LASIK surgery.\n\t
\nLASIK is a combination of microsurgical and excimer laser technologies. During the LASIK correction procedure, the eye doctors use a microkeratome (microsurgical device). The specialists create a flap of corneal tissue and bend it with the microkeratome.\n
\nThen the ophthalmologists carry out the laser correction on the inner layers of the cornea. During the operation a new shape of the cornea is created. It begins to refract light rays differently, which focus on the retina and the image becomes clear.\n
\nThe best places for LASIK eye surgery are chosen according to Bookimed Medical Doctors’ and the patients’ reviews.\n
\nIndian medical centers provide the procedures as other clinics anywhere else in the world. The LASIK centers in India are famous abroad for performing eye surgeries at considerable savings.\n
