FAQs

Am I a candidate for LASIK ?

The eligibility for LASIK is decided after a thorough pre-operative evaluation. This involves evaluating the stability of eye power and the health of the cornea among other factors.

Laser vision correction is an extremely safe and effective procedure. At Dr.Agarwals, our experts are highly trained to execute these procedures with accuracy.

The actual procedure takes less than 10 minutes per eye. However, the entire procedure, including pre-operative processes could take about an hour.

While the effects of a laser eye treatment (LASIK treatment surgery) are permanent, the benefits can decrease over time. However, for most patients, the results of LASIK surgery will last forever. 

It is advisable to avoid undergoing the LASIK eye surgery procedure for patients on systemic medicines, preventing the complete recovery of the cornea. Other reasons for not performing laser eye operations on patients are systemic conditions. These are the diseases like diabetes or conditions wherein the collagen level in the body is not normal, for example, the Marfan syndrome. Also, if a patient cannot stare at a fixed object for a minimum of 60 seconds, the patient may not be a great candidate for LASIK eye surgery. 

If you go for a LASIK surgery procedure, the doctor will require an initial baseline evaluation to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the laser eye operation.

It can take up to 6 months to completely recover from a laser eye operation. In this phase, you may need to visit your doctor for several aftercare appointments. There might also be blurriness in certain stages, but it’s normal.

In addition, it will take some amount of time for the eyes to settle post-surgery. Therefore, you must attend the aftercare appointments regularly to maintain the lifetime guarantee validity. 

Blurred vision is common up to 6 months after the LASIK eye treatment, mainly because of the dryness of the eyes. It is best advised to use artificial tears at least once every hour and rest the eyes frequently to avoid dryness. 

There is no age limit for LASIK, and the surgery depends on the eye health of the individual, in addition to the visual needs. Patients with no organic reason for vision loss, such as cataracts or other medical complications, can easily go for a LASIK surgery. 

Immediately after LASIK treatment, the eyes may itch or burn or feel like something is stuck in the eye. There can be a certain level of discomfort and mild pain in some cases. The doctor may suggest a mild pain-relieving medicine for the same. The vision can be blurred or hazy. 

Instilling numbing eye drops helps with the urge to blink in the patients during the laser eye treatment. A device is also used to keep the eyes open in times of need during the surgery

LASIK eye operation is not painful. Before starting the procedure, the surgeon will use numbing eyedrops for both your eyes. While there might be a feeling of pressure during the ongoing procedure, there will be no feeling of pain. 

Laser eye operation for cataracts is a viable option since it helps rectify the refractive errors by reshaping the cornea using a laser. However, in cataract cases, LASIK will not correct the blurred vision caused by this disorder. 

Some people have a blurred vision right from birth due to some congenital disabilities, while others have developed a blurred vision with time. In some cases, blurry vision can be rectified with the help of LASIK eye treatment or surgery

In this type of procedure, the tissues of the corneal surface are removed from the corneal surface (front part of the eye), which helps maintain the effects for a lifetime and are, therefore, permanent. The surgery helps with the correction of refractive error and clarity of vision.

Contrary to public notion, LASIK is not a very costly treatment. It is imperative to keep in mind that laser eye surgery price can vary due to different factors like infrastructure, technology, equipment, ranging from Rs. 25000 to Rs. 100000.
