LASIK suitability criteria

LASIK is ideal for adults over 18 with stable prescriptions, healthy eyes, and no major corneal issues. You’re likely a good candidate if you’re nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism. Your prescription should not have changed significantly in the past year. People with certain medical or eye conditions, such as dry eye, thin corneas, or uncontrolled diabetes, may not be eligible. A thorough consultation and scan will determine if LASIK is the safest and most effective option for your unique eyes and lifestyle.

LASIK uses advanced laser technology to reshape the cornea, the clear front part of your eye, so light focuses properly on your retina.

First, a thin flap is created in the cornea using a femtosecond laser. The flap is gently lifted, and a second laser precisely reshapes the underlying tissue. The flap is then replaced, where it naturally seals without stitches.

The entire procedure is quick and typically pain-free, often taking less than 15 minutes for both eyes. Most people notice clearer vision within a few hours and can return to daily activities within a day or two.

The main advantage of LASIK is freedom from glasses and contact lenses, often with instant results. Recovery is fast, and most patients achieve 20/20 vision or better.

LASIK has a high satisfaction rate and long-term results. However, it may not be suitable for everyone. Some patients may experience dry eyes, temporary glare or halos, or the need for enhancement surgery in the future.

As with any procedure, it’s important to weigh the benefits against the risks and speak with an experienced surgeon to understand what LASIK can offer for your specific situation.

While LASIK is considered safe and effective, like all medical procedures, it carries some risks. These include dry eyes, glare, halos around lights, night vision issues, and in rare cases, undercorrection or overcorrection.

Most side effects are temporary and improve within weeks. In very rare instances, complications may require further surgery or impact visual quality. Your surgeon will carry out detailed scans and checks to reduce risk and ensure the procedure is right for your eyes.

If LASIK isn’t right for you, other options include PRK (a surface treatment), SMILE (a flapless laser procedure), and implantable lenses (ICL).

People with presbyopia may benefit from blended vision or lens replacement surgery. Your surgeon will recommend the safest and most effective treatment depending on your age, prescription, eye health, and lifestyle.

A comprehensive consultation will help you understand all your options and guide you toward clear vision without compromise.

The LASIK process starts with a thorough consultation, including detailed eye scans to assess your suitability. On surgery day, numbing drops are applied to keep your eyes comfortable.

A thin flap is created on the cornea, then lifted to allow a second laser to reshape the corneal tissue based on your prescription. The flap is gently repositioned and heals naturally.

The procedure takes minutes per eye. You’ll rest briefly, then return home. Vision typically improves the same day, with full results within days.

Most patients experience 20/20 vision or better after LASIK. Results can often be seen within hours, and vision typically stabilises over the next few weeks.

LASIK provides long-lasting correction for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Many patients report a new sense of freedom and confidence, saying they wish they’d done it sooner. While rare, some may need an enhancement in the future as vision naturally changes with age.

Overall, LASIK delivers high satisfaction rates and life-changing improvements in vision.

In 2009, the FDA, NEI, and DoD launched the LASIK Quality of Life Collaboration Project (LQOLCP) to study potential risks from LASIK surgery. The project developed tools to track patient-reported outcomes (PROs) before and after surgery, including visual symptoms and their impact on daily activities. Results showed high satisfaction rates but noted minor visual symptoms post-surgery. Click here to read more.

Refractive surgery offers a range of procedures to reduce reliance on glasses or contact lenses by reshaping the cornea. From LASIK to SMILE, these treatments address conditions like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Click here to read more.
