Our patient’s stories
LASIK is a popular and effective refractive eye surgery designed to correct vision problems such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. The procedure involves using a laser to reshape the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, to improve how light is focused onto the retina. This leads to clearer vision and can significantly reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses. LASIK is known for its precision, quick recovery time, and high success rate.
