FAQs

Lasik can be considered by

  • Age over 18 years
  • Glasses power constant over the past 1 year

Those who fulfil the criteria above may get their check up done at our Lasik Centre. Pentacam and Retina screening along with a thorough eye examination shall determine whether or not Lasik is safe for you.

  • Subjects having extremely high refractive power and thin corneas, as determined after your Lasik work up.
  • Patients diagnosed with or are suspected to be having Keratoconus, an uncommon eye condition where the corneas have an abnormally conical shape. Procedures aimed at freedom from glasses are not recommended for these patients. A special UV Laser called C3R is needed for eyes with Keratoconus that display signs of progression and worsening.

  • ICL
