LASIK Eye Surgery in Mumbai – Kurla BKC, Kalina & Bandra W

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is the world's most performed laser eye surgery and a life-changing option for people tired of depending on glasses or contact lenses. At Doctor Mickey's Eye Care Center, Kurla West, Mumbai, Dr. Mickey Dhamejani offers LASIK with the precision of the latest laser platforms and the personalised attention that every patient deserves.

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

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

FAQFrequently Asked Questions

Am I suitable for LASIK?

The only way to know is a pre-operative evaluation. Dr. Mickey will assess your corneal thickness, prescription stability, tear film, and overall eye health before recommending LASIK or an alternative.

Does LASIK hurt?

No. Anaesthetic drops numb the eye completely. You may feel mild pressure for a few seconds but no pain during or immediately after the procedure.

How long do LASIK results last?

For the vast majority of patients, results are permanent. A small number may need an enhancement years later if their prescription shifts — this is more common in people over 40 due to natural ageing of the lens.

What if I am not suitable for LASIK?

There are excellent alternatives: Contoura Vision, SILK/SMILE, PRK, or ICL. Dr. Mickey will guide you to the safest and most effective option for your eye.
