The Ultimate Guide to LASIK in Pune

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a revolutionary laser eye surgery designed to correct common vision issues such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism.

At Jeevan Sparsh, we focus on reshaping the cornea, the transparent front part of the eye, to ensure that light entering the eye is properly focused onto the retina. This leads to clearer, sharper vision, often reducing or even eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses.

Who Should Consider LASIK?

Not everyone is a candidate for LASIK surgery. However, ideal candidates generally meet the following criteria:

  • Age: Must be over 18 years old.
  • Stable Vision: Should have had a stable prescription for at least a year.
  • Healthy Eyes: Free from eye diseases like glaucoma or cataracts.

Before deciding on LASIK, a comprehensive pre-surgery consultation at Jeevan Sparsh is essential. This consultation includes a detailed eye examination, a review of your medical history, and a thorough discussion about the LASIK procedure. Contact

The LASIK Surgery Process at Jeevan Sparsh

Preparation Before Surgery: Before the surgery, it’s important to stop wearing contact lenses for a period recommended by your surgeon, usually about two weeks. Also, make sure you have someone to drive you home after the procedure, as your vision may be blurry immediately afterward.

Step-by-Step Procedure:

  1. Anesthetic Drops: Numbing eye drops are applied to ensure you don’t feel any discomfort during the procedure.
  2. Creating the Flap: Using a microkeratome blade or a femtosecond laser, a small flap is created in the cornea.
  3. Reshaping the Cornea: The cornea is reshaped using an excimer laser, correcting your vision.
  4. Closing the Flap: The corneal flap is then carefully repositioned, where it serves as a natural bandage as the eye heals.

The entire procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes.

Post-Surgery Care and Recovery

After LASIK surgery, it’s normal to experience some mild discomfort, such as a gritty feeling in your eyes. Your doctor will provide you with eye drops to prevent infection and alleviate discomfort. It’s crucial to avoid rubbing your eyes and to wear protective eye shields as advised.

Long-Term Care Tips

For optimal results, avoid any strenuous activities for at least a week and closely follow all aftercare instructions provided by your surgeon. Regular follow-up visits are essential to monitor your healing progress and to address any concerns.
