FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Answers to your questions about the LASIK procedure
Is LASIK safe?
LASIK is a well established procedure. At EyeHub, it’s performed with the ZEISS VisuMax® 800 and MEL 90 lasers. Like all surgery, it carries risks, and Dr Moorthy will explain them at your assessment.
Does LASIK hurt?
We use numbing eye drops during the procedure. Most people describe a slight pressure. Mild dryness or discomfort is common during the initial healing phase and can usually be managed with eye drops.
How long does it take to recover from LASIK?
Most patients notice improved vision immediately after the procedure, with significant clarity within 24-48 hours. You can typically resume normal activities, like driving and working, within one to two days. Full stabilisation of vision may take a few weeks.
Am I a candidate for LASIK?
You are likely a good candidate for LASIK if:
- You are at least 18 years old.
- Your vision prescription has been stable for at least one year.
- You have healthy corneas and no significant eye conditions like glaucoma or cataracts.
- A consultation with our specialists will include detailed eye measurements to determine your eligibility.
