LASIK is among the quickest surgeries in modern medicine — the entire procedure takes 10-15 minutes per eye.
Step 1: numbing eye drops are applied. The eye is gently held open with a soft holder. No injections.
Step 2: a femtosecond laser creates a thin, precise corneal flap in about 20 seconds — completely painless.
Step 3: the flap is gently lifted by the surgeon, exposing the underlying corneal tissue.
Step 4: an excimer laser reshapes the cornea according to your individual prescription — 20-40 seconds.
Step 5: the flap is replaced and adheres naturally — no stitches needed.
