When you choose LASIK, technology is crucial. Hyderabad has a variety of modern technologies that improve vision clarity. These advancements reduce the risk of side effects such as dry eyes, glare, and halos.
What is LASIK eye surgery?
LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis. Never mind the long name. It's simply a laser surgery that fixes your vision in 10 minutes.
Here's how LASIK works:
- The doctor makes a thin flap on your eye surface
- A laser reshapes the tissue underneath
- The flap goes back in place
- Your eye heals naturally
LASIK fixes three main vision problems. First, it improves near-sightedness when you cannot see distant things clearly. Second, it improves far-sightedness when things near are indistinct. Third, it improves astigmatism when all objects are indistinct.
Most people love LASIK because healing is fast. You'll see clearly the next day. There's almost no pain. Just some mild scratching feeling for a few hours.

How are modern technologies helping, and what’s new about them?
LASIK surgery is really getting better and better. The doctors are getting very good at doing this kind of surgery. This is because of the technology that is being used. LASIK surgery is safer now, and it works well. The technology is a part of why LASIK's Blade techniques have been largely abandoned in recent times.
Today’s LASIK uses advanced tools that make surgery:
- More accurate
- Safer
- Faster
- Less Painful
- Better for recovery
Top Technologies in LASIK Eye Surgery:
Femtosecond Laser:
Bladeless LASIK is a more recent take on LASIK. The main thing is that it skips the blade.
How does it work?
Followed by, similar to traditional LASIK, a different laser modifies your cornea and replaces the flap. It creates a thin flap in the cornea with the help of tiny and ultra-fast pulses. Like regular LASIK, another laser reshapes your cornea and places the flap back.
Why Bladeless LASIK is Great:
- Blades are not involved – In this technique, only lasers are involved.
- Precision – Bladeless Laser is more precise as it creates a thin and even flap.
- Works for Thin corneas – Laser can create thinner flaps with more precision.
- Less risky – Bladeless LASIK is less risky and provides more predictable or expected results.
- Heals faster – Due to the thinner flap, your eye is accustomed to healing faster, but the preferred recovery time would be 1 or 2 days.
Topography-guided LASIK:
The topography machine scans your cornea and finds out the bumps and irregularities that affect your vision
Why Topography LASIK works better:
- It treats bumps and irregularities that affect your vision
- When people come for vision re-correction, it treats that as well
- It reduces the side effects like halos and starbursts
- This technology works well for people with astigmatism
SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction):
SMILE stands for Small Incision Lenticule Extraction. In a way, it is LASIK’s modern counterpart. The procedure is capable of correcting conditions like myopia and astigmatism.
What’s the process involved?
- First, you go in for a check-up. If you’re a good fit, the surgeon will look at your prescription and suggest the type of surgery that is right for you
- No flap is created. A laser produces a tiny lens-shaped piece of tissue inside your cornea
- The doctor removes it through a small 2-4mm cut
- Your cornea heals on its own
Contoura Vision
Contoura Vision is a non-bladed method of eye correction. It benefits those with astigmatism, near-sightedness, and farsightedness. The LASIK technique is not the same as this one. Contoura Vision takes numerous images of your eye using a machine. This device captures 22,000 images of the area of your eye. This implies that the treatment is tailored to you and your perspective.
How does it work?
- The topolyser device recognises even the smallest details of surface irregularities by mapping 22,000 distinct eye deviation points on the cornea
- A personalised laser treatment plan is created for the patient using this map and the prescription
- The next step is carried out inside the OT, using advanced mapping technology to guide the use of an excimer laser for precise corneal reshaping and a femtosecond laser for flaps
WaveLight Plus
WaveLight Plus is an innovation personalised for your eye. Every eye is different, which is why WaveLight Plus takes into account each person's unique eye shape and vision requirements.
What’s new about WaveLight Plus:
- Using a sight map diagnostic tool, the Wavelight Plus process generates a customised, virtual 3D model of your eye
- To address visual acuity and subtler, complex vision issues, a highly customised treatment is guided by this individualised model
- Approximately 8 out of 10 patients achieve one line better than 20/20 vision after the WaveLight Plus therapy, indicating good visual outcomes
