What is LASIK Eye Surgery?
LASIK reshapes the clear front of the eye (cornea) with a laser to correct short-sightedness, long-sightedness and astigmatism, so that you rely less on glasses or contact lenses.
LASIK Eye Surgery cost
The price depends on the hospital, the surgeon's experience, the anaesthesia used, the length of the hospital stay and the tests needed before surgery. Each doctor below shows a starting price; the final price is confirmed after the consultation.
Benefits
- Fast improvement in vision
- Less need for glasses or contact lenses
- Little pain during and after the procedure
- Both eyes can often be treated the same day
Possible side effects
- Dry eyes for some weeks
- Glare or halos at night

Most side effects are mild and temporary. Your surgeon will explain the risks for your case.
Types of lasik eye surgery
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| LASIK | A thin flap is made and the cornea beneath it is reshaped |
| PRK | The surface layer is removed instead of making a flap |
| SMILE | A small piece of tissue is removed through a tiny opening |
How it is done
- Eye assessment: Corneal thickness and prescription are measured
- Numbing drops: The eye is numbed
- Reshaping: The laser corrects the cornea in minutes
- Aftercare: Drops protect the eye while it heals
Results and recovery
Vision usually improves within one to two days and keeps settling over a few weeks.
