Laser Vision Correction

i-LASIK Eye Surgery

i-LASIK is a laser procedure that reshapes the cornea to correct focusing errors — helping many people see clearly without glasses.

i-LASIK combines precise laser technology with detailed pre-operative mapping of the eye. Before recommending it, our refractive team checks corneal thickness, shape and tear health to make sure it is a safe choice for you.

What is i-LASIK?

LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) corrects refractive errors by reshaping the cornea. In i-LASIK, a thin corneal flap is created with a laser, lifted, and the underlying corneal tissue is reshaped with an excimer laser according to your prescription. The flap is then repositioned, where it adheres naturally without stitches.

Symptoms & signs

  • Myopia, hypermetropia or astigmatism
  • Wish to reduce reliance on glasses or contacts
  • Contact-lens discomfort or intolerance

Causes & risk factors

  • Refractive errors caused by eye length or corneal curvature
  • Often hereditary

Who needs this treatment?

  • Adults with stable spectacle power (usually for at least one year)
  • Adequate corneal thickness and regular corneal shape
  • Healthy eyes without active disease
  • Not pregnant or breastfeeding at the time of surgery

How it is diagnosed

  • Refraction
  • Corneal topography/tomography
  • Pachymetry
  • Dry-eye evaluation
  • Dilated retina check

Treatment options

i-LASIK

Laser-created flap and excimer reshaping — suited to many standard prescriptions.

Contoura Vision

Topography-guided treatment for selected corneas.

PRK

A no-flap alternative for thinner corneas.

ICL

A lens-based alternative when laser is not suitable.
