What “Laser Eye Surgery” Actually Means
Laser surgery isn’t just LASIK—patients in Mumbai often have multiple options:
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis)
A flap is created, the cornea reshaped, flap repositioned.
- Recovery: Functional vision in 24–48 hours.
- Best for: Most patients with healthy corneas and stable prescriptions.

PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)
No flap; laser works on the surface.
- Recovery: Slower (days–weeks).
- Best for: Thin/irregular corneas, contact-sport professionals.
SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction)
Minimally invasive—no flap, small incision.
- Recovery: Quick, less dry eye.
- Best for: Selected myopia/astigmatism cases.
ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens)
A lens is placed inside the eye—no corneal reshaping.
- Recovery: Fast, reversible.
- Best for: High powers, thin corneas, dry eyes.

Risks & Safety
Even with the best technology, honesty matters:
- Dry eyes: Common early, improves in weeks–months.
- Night glare/halos: Temporary in most cases.
- Enhancements: May be needed years later.
If your corneas are borderline or dry eye is severe, PRK or ICL may be safer than LASIK.
