What Is Laser Eye Surgery?
Laser eye surgery is a procedure that corrects vision by reshaping the cornea using a highly precise laser. It treats common issues like
- Myopia (nearsightedness)
- Hyperopia (farsightedness)
- Astigmatism (blurred vision)
- Presbyopia (age-related reading difficulty)
Laser eye surgery improves vision by gently reshaping the cornea with the help of advanced laser technology, allowing light to focus correctly on the retina.

Types of Laser Eye Surgery in India
Here are the most popular procedures available at leading Indian eye hospitals:
1. LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis)
- Fastest recovery (24–48 hrs)
- Most common worldwide
- Suitable for low to moderate refractive errors
2. Contoura Vision LASIK (available at Vijaya Nethralaya, Bangalore)
- Customised to your eye shape
- FDA-approved & best for night vision clarity
- Precision treatment with topography-guided correction
3. SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction)
- Flapless, minimally invasive
- Less dryness, quicker healing
- Ideal for active individuals and athletes
4. PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)
- No flap; surface reshaping
- Good for people with thin corneas
- Slightly longer healing time
