Refractive Surgery | Lasik Surgery

LASIK surgery is the most popular form of such surgeries. Technology has evolved from simple cuts on the cornea with a diamond knife, to the present use of the Excimer laser to precisely shape the curvature of the cornea (LASIK) and to the availability of implantable refractive lenses into the eye. With the advent of newer technology and techniques, more patients (even those who were once considered unsuitable) are now able to undergo refractive surgery. The possibility of achieving "eaglevision" has become a reality for everyone.

Why Refractive Surgery?

Most of us have to rely on spectacles or contact lenses during some part of our lives. Some of us have to rely on them 24/7. They are part of our indoor and outdoor lifestyles, sports, movies, presentations, functions, shopping. even holidays. Wearing spectacles can sometimes be a hassle while adapting to contact lenses can sometimes be frustrating and maintaining them is often tedious. Furthermore, infections and long-term contacts lens complications are important risks.

Refractive surgery can be a solution to these unpleasant experiences by means of correcting the myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (long-sightedness), astigmatism and presbyopia by providing us with good spectacle and contact lens free vision which will impact our lives. Refractive surgeries are fast, efficient outpatient procedures that require no hospitalisation and are performed under local anesthesia (just with eyedrops).

At Eagle Eye Centre (EEC), we even offer a One-Day LASIK experience, where patients have the option to undergo pre-LASIK assessments as well as LASIK surgery for both eyes on the same day.
