LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular laser eye surgery used to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. LASIK reshapes the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, to improve the way the eye focuses light rays onto the retina.
With over 30 years of proven success, LASIK has helped millions of people worldwide achieve clearer vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
At Brar Eye Hospital, we use state-of-the-art laser technology to ensure the highest precision and safety in every LASIK procedure.
Good candidates for LASIK typically have:
Schedule a comprehensive eye examination at Brar Eye Hospital to determine if LASIK is right for you. Our specialists will evaluate your eyes and discuss all your vision correction options.
Using either a femtosecond laser or a microkeratome, a thin flap is created on the cornea's surface. This flap is gently lifted to access the underlying corneal tissue.
An excimer laser precisely removes microscopic amounts of tissue to reshape the cornea. The laser is programmed with your unique prescription to correct your specific vision problem.
The corneal flap is carefully repositioned. It adheres naturally without the need for stitches. The flap acts as a natural bandage, promoting faster healing.

No, LASIK is not painful. Numbing eye drops are used during the procedure, so you won't feel pain. You may feel slight pressure when the flap is created, but no pain. After surgery, you might experience mild discomfort, burning, or itching for a few hours, which is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
LASIK provides permanent vision correction. However, your eyes can still change naturally with age. Some patients may need reading glasses after age 40 due to presbyopia (age-related near vision loss), and a small percentage may need an enhancement procedure years later if their prescription changes.
While LASIK is very safe, as with any surgery, there are potential risks including:
Serious complications are extremely rare. Your surgeon will discuss all risks during your consultation.
