Although many people consider contact lenses as an alternative to glasses, the discomfort, extra hassle, and fear of infections can\u2019t be neglected.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what should one do? LASIK eye surgery can be a good option to get rid of glasses and be able to see clearly. But again, some common fears like post-surgery vision problems, errors occurring during the surgery, or the very thought of a laser going into the eye, make people somewhat reluctant, and they continue to bear the daily struggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are also thinking of LASIK eye surgery but still have some doubts, this blog is for you. Here, you will get everything you need to know about LASIK surgery &#8211; the procedure, fitness criteria, post-op recovery, hospitals offering the surgery, cost, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, let\u2019s start with what LASIK surgery actually is and whether there is any reason to be afraid of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_79_2 counter-hierarchy

In this procedure, the surgeon uses a laser to reshape the cornea of your eyes and give you clear vision. It takes around 10-15 minutes to complete the procedure, and most patients see clearly within 24 hours of the surgery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea of a laser being targeted at your eyes might be frightening at first, but during the surgery, you won\u2019t feel anything in your eyes as they are numbed. Moreover, being a less invasive and quick procedure, patients may experience nothing more than mild discomfort after the surgery, which goes away within a few hours.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to NIH (National Institutes of Health ), LASIK surgery has a high patient satisfaction rate, making it one of the most trusted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sohanaeyehospital.com\/refractive-suite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">refractive surgeries<\/a> in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_LASIK_Surgery\"><\/span>Types of LASIK Surgery<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Traditional LASIK: <\/strong>Conventional LASIK eye surgery uses a mechanical blade (microkeratome) to create a thin flap on the outermost part of your eye (cornea).

So, before you opt for any hospital or surgeon, do this:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Research_About_the_Surgeon\"><\/span>Research About the Surgeon:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you visit any hospital, it is important that you do some research about the surgeons there. Make sure that they are board-certified, have handled complex cases, and are efficient in modern ophthalmic technologies. Going through the hospital\u2019s website and Google reviews may also help.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ask_Questions\"><\/span>Ask Questions:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During your pre-operative check-up and consultation, don\u2019t be afraid to ask questions about your eye condition, treatment, the procedure, etc. Moreover, it is also important to inform your eye doctor about your pre-existing diseases so that they can suggest the best-suited treatment. It helps you understand the procedure and the services of the hospital better, leading to an informed decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Observe_their_Pre-operative_Approach\"><\/span>Observe their Pre-operative Approach:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you ask questions, observe how the surgeon answers them. Are they hiding information or being dismissive about your concerns? Then, it is better to opt for another health centre. A good surgeon will always try to educate you about the procedure and be transparent about the details like cost, risks, results, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_to_Know_About_the_Technologies\"><\/span>Get to Know About the Technologies:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>See what kind of ophthalmic technologies the hospital uses. An ideal hospital must offer the latest LASIK technologies like Smile Pro, Contura Vision, etc., that are <strong>highly precise, 100% bladeless, painless, and deliver the best results.<\/strong> Remember, you deserve to receive the best for your eyes, and you should not compromise on that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Compare_Packages\"><\/span>Compare Packages:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You must contact different hospitals and compare the packages and the costs. Just because the package is expensive doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s gonna cover everything you may ask for. As said earlier, an ideal package should include your pre-operative consultation, tests, surgery, medication, and post-operative follow-ups. A good eye hospital provides multiple options for LASIK so that you can opt for the best treatment that fits your needs and your budget.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_Testimonials\"><\/span>Read Testimonials:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Check what other patients are saying about the hospital. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@DrAmanpreetKaur9\/videos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube testimonials<\/a> and Google reviews are great sources to get honest feedback.
