Vision problems such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism can significantly reduce a person’s quality of life. While glasses or contact lenses offer temporary relief, laser eye surgery presents a permanent and comfortable solution through advanced medical technologies.
Laser eye surgery is a modern procedure that reshapes the cornea to allow light to focus properly on the retina. This adjustment results in clearer vision, often eliminating the need for glasses or lenses. At Veni Vidi Eye, a range of cutting-edge laser treatments is offered for various refractive errors.
No Touch Laser is a highly advanced, non-contact method used to correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. As the name suggests, this technique requires no physical touch to the eye. Patients simply focus on a green light while the laser reshapes the cornea in under a minute. The procedure is quick, pain-free, and offers a fast recovery time—patients typically return to daily life within days.
SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) Laser is a minimally invasive technique used to treat myopia and astigmatism. It involves creating a small lenticule inside the cornea using a femtosecond laser, which is then removed through a tiny incision. This method maintains corneal integrity, shortens recovery time, and offers high patient comfort.
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is one of the most well-known laser eye surgeries worldwide. It involves creating a thin flap in the cornea, reshaping the underlying tissue with a laser, and repositioning the flap. LASIK is highly effective for correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism with minimal discomfort and rapid results.
Not everyone is a suitable candidate for laser eye surgery. Factors such as age, corneal thickness, eye structure, and overall health must be considered. Veni Vidi Eye performs a comprehensive eye examination and a series of tests to determine a patient’s eligibility before recommending a specific laser treatment.
Recovery depends on the chosen technique and individual factors. Most patients experience significant improvement within a few days. Following post-operative instructions and attending follow-up appointments are crucial to achieving optimal results and maintaining eye health.
No, the procedure is completely painless. Numbing eye drops are used before the surgery, so you won’t feel any discomfort during the process. Some patients may experience mild dryness or sensitivity for a short time after the surgery, but this typically resolves quickly.
The actual laser part of the procedure takes only 20–60 seconds per eye, depending on the technique. The entire process, including preparation and post-procedure steps, usually takes 15 to 30 minutes.
Most patients can resume normal activities within 1 to 3 days, depending on the type of laser treatment used. However, it’s recommended to avoid rubbing your eyes and refrain from swimming or heavy exercise for a couple of weeks.
Yes, in the majority of cases, laser eye surgery provides a long-lasting or even permanent correction. However, the natural aging process of the eye may lead to new vision changes over time, especially for reading (presbyopia) after age 40.
People with thin corneas, certain eye diseases (like keratoconus), autoimmune conditions, or unstable vision prescriptions may not be ideal candidates. A detailed consultation and eye exam are necessary to determine suitability.
