What Is LASIK Eye Surgery?
LASIK uses an excimer laser to gently reshape the cornea — the clear front surface of the eye — so that light focuses correctly on the retina. A thin protective flap is created on the cornea, the laser reshapes the tissue underneath, and the flap is replaced to heal naturally. The entire procedure takes around 10–15 minutes per eye and is virtually painless.
Who Is It For?
This procedure is generally suited to patients meeting the following criteria:
- Age 18 and above with a stable prescription for at least one year
- Myopia (short-sightedness) up to –10 D, hyperopia (far-sightedness) up to +4 D, or astigmatism up to 4 D
- Adequate corneal thickness confirmed on pre-op testing
- No active eye disease or keratoconus
What Happens During the Procedure?
Each step is performed with precision and patient comfort in mind.
- Step 1: Comprehensive pre-operative evaluation including corneal mapping, pupil size, and dry eye assessment
- Step 2: A thin flap is created using a microkeratome or femtosecond laser
- Step 3: The excimer laser reshapes the corneal stroma with sub-micron precision
- Step 4: The flap is repositioned — no stitches required
- Step 5: Eye drops are applied and a protective shield placed
Recovery & What to Expect
Most patients notice a dramatic improvement within 24 hours. Vision continues to stabilise over the first week. Avoid rubbing the eye, swimming, and dusty environments for 2–4 weeks. Dr. Mickey schedules follow-ups at Day 1, Week 1, and Month 1 to monitor your progress.
Benefits
Patients choosing this procedure typically experience the following benefits:
- Freedom from glasses and contact lenses for most daily activities
- Quick procedure — both eyes done in under 30 minutes
- Minimal discomfort during and after surgery
- Long-lasting results with a well-established safety record
