DAY 1 – PRE – OPERATIVE CHECK UP (LASIK SCREENING)
LASIK is not right for everyone. To access your suitability for LASIK, a detailed evaluation has to be done. This is known as “LASIK Screening”. It involves a series of investigative procedures such as pachymetry, refraction, topography, dry eye testing, cornea scanning, retina screening and a doctor’s consultation. These procedures take around 2 hours. If you are using contact lenses, it is best to remove those three days before the procedure.
DAY 2 – LASIK PROCEDURE
This procedure is done under local numbing eye drops only. No injections are used. The LASIK treatment time usually takes around 20 seconds per eye, and the whole procedure takes around 10 minutes per eye. You may leave the hospital 15 minutes after the LASIK procedure is complete.
DAY 3 – FOLLOW UP
A follow up is done next day to evaluate results.
