Lasik Surgery

LASIK Surgery

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a safe and effective laser vision correction surgery designed to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses and contact lenses. It reshapes the cornea, allowing light to focus correctly on the retina for clear vision.

At Dr. Vishal Maniar’s Eye Clinic, we use the latest bladeless and customized LASIK technology to treat myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. With advanced equipment, precision planning, and over 17 years of surgical experience, Dr. Maniar ensures quick recovery, high success rates, and improved visual freedom for patients.

  • Topography-Guided LASIK: Corrects corneal irregularities
  • PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy): Alternative for thin corneas
LASIK Eligibility Tests

Pre-Surgery Evaluation

  • Corneal Topography: Maps corneal shape and thickness
  • Pachymetry: Measures corneal thickness for safety
  • Refraction Test: Determines exact vision correction
  • Tear Film Test: Assesses dry eye risk
  • Pupil Measurement: Helps avoid glare/halo issues
