What is IntraLASIK™

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a bladeless,minimally invasive refractive surgery that permanently reshapes the cornea to correct short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism.

Using a femtosecond laser, a thin protective flap is created on the surface of the cornea. An excimer laser then precisely removes a small amount of corneal tissue underneath before the flap is gently repositioned — acting as a natural bandage. Recovery is rapid. Most patients notice a dramatic improvement in vision within hours and return to work within 24–48 hours of treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a well-established laser eye surgery procedure that reshapes the cornea to correct vision problems, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses.

LASIK is commonly used to treat:

  • Short-sightedness (myopia)
  • Long-sightedness (hyperopia)
  • Astigmatism

Suitability depends on your prescription, corneal thickness and overall eye health.

A thin flap is created on the surface of the cornea using a femtosecond laser. This flap is gently lifted, and an excimer laser reshapes the underlying cornea to correct vision. The flap is then repositioned and allowed to adhere naturally without sutures.

The procedure typically takes around 10–15 minutes for both eyes, with the laser itself active for only a few seconds per eye.

LASIK is performed using numbing eye drops, so the procedure itself is not painful. Some patients experience mild irritation or watering for a few hours afterwards, which usually settles quickly.

Most people notice significant vision improvement within 24 hours. Vision continues to stabilise over the following days to weeks. Many patients return to work and normal activities within 1–2 days.

Many patients are legal to drive the next day, provided vision meets DVLA standards at the post-operative check.

Many patients achieve excellent distance vision without glasses. However, normal age-related reading changes (presbyopia) can still occur later in life, which may mean reading glasses are needed in the future.

LASIK provides long-term correction of your existing prescription. While the treated correction is permanent, natural changes in eyesight can still occur over time.

You may be suitable if:

  • You are over 18 years old
  • Your prescription has been stable
  • Your corneas are healthy and of adequate thickness
  • You have no significant eye disease

A detailed consultation is required to confirm suitability.

Yes. Contact lenses can temporarily alter corneal shape. You’ll usually be asked to stop wearing:

  • Soft lenses: around 1 week before assessment
  • Rigid lenses: longer, depending on type

LASIK has a strong safety record, but as with any surgery, risks exist. These can include:

  • Temporary dry eyes
  • Glare or haloes (usually at night)
  • Under- or over-correction

Your surgeon will fully discuss benefits and risks during your consultation.

LASIK has been performed worldwide for over 35 years and is one of the most studied elective surgical procedures. Careful screening and modern laser technology help maximise safety and accuracy.

You’ll use prescribed eye drops for several weeks and attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing. Most patients find aftercare straightforward.

Light exercise can usually resume after a few days. Swimming, contact sports and eye makeup are typically avoided for 1–2 weeks, depending on healing.

Yes, in most cases both eyes are treated on the same day, unless clinical reasons suggest otherwise.

Our focus is on achieving complete satisfaction with your eye conditions through your LASIK surgery. All our patients are treated until discharge as part of the inclusive care plan.

Packages typically include:

  • Pre-operative assessment
  • LASIK treatment
  • Post-operative care and follow-ups for 24 months
  • Enhancement treatment if clinically required
