Pre-Surgery Evaluation:

Comprehensive eye exams, corneal mapping, and expert consultation to determine suitability.

Quick, painless laser treatment. No injections or stitches. Most cases done in 8–20 minutes.

Recovery:

Return to daily activities in 1–2 days. Temporary dryness or glare possible.
