What Is Lasik?

Clear eyesight is something we all desire. However, some people are born with conditions that require spectacles or contact lenses to see clearly.

If you find it inconvenient to use spectacles or contact lenses daily, you can opt for highly effective alternatives. Femto-LASIK is one of the most reliable and advanced laser vision correction procedures.

Femto-LASIK is effective for:

  • Myopia (nearsightedness – difficulty seeing distant objects clearly)

  • Hyperopia (farsightedness – difficulty seeing nearby objects clearly)

  • Astigmatism (blurred near and distance vision due to an irregular cornea causing light to focus unevenly on the retina)

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Femto-LASIK is a quick and almost pain-free laser procedure. It usually takes around 10–20 minutes per eye. It has been a global standard in laser vision correction for many years.

  • Performed in the AKUH daycare refractive suite

  • Patients typically regain optimal vision within one week

AM I ELIGIBLE FOR LASER TREATMENT?

Eligibility for Femto-LASIK depends on multiple factors and can only be determined after a detailed consultation and examination by an eye specialist.

The evaluation includes:

  • Corneal scan

  • Comprehensive eye examination after pupil dilation

Important instructions:

  • Usual recovery time is about one week

  • Your doctor will advise when you can resume daily activities

  • You may be asked to stop using contact lenses a few weeks before surgery

  • On the day of the procedure, avoid makeup, perfume, or creams

  • Arrange someone to accompany you or drive you home

POST-TREATMENT CARE

After surgery:

  • A protective eye shield may be placed

  • Eye drops and/or oral medications will be prescribed for a specific duration

  • Follow-up visits are usually scheduled the next day, then over the following weeks and months

LASIK is considered one of the safest surgical procedures in medicine, with a very low risk of mild complications (approximately 1%).
