What Is Refractive Surgery?

Refractive surgery includes advanced procedures designed to correct vision by improving the eye’s focusing ability. By reshaping the cornea or implanting a corrective lens, these treatments help light focus properly on the retina—reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses.

What to Expect

What to Expect

Your Step-by-Step Refractive Surgery Journey

1

Comprehensive Consultation & Screening

We perform a detailed eye examination, including corneal mapping, refraction, tear film evaluation, and a full ocular health assessment to determine your candidacy.

2

Personalized Treatment Planning

Based on your examination findings, lifestyle, and expectations, we recommend the most suitable procedure (LASIK, PRK, SMILE, RLE, or Phakic IOL).

3

Procedure Day

Most procedures are outpatient, comfortable, and typically completed within 10–30 minutes per eye.

4

Early Recovery

Mild dryness, irritation, or light sensitivity may occur temporarily. Vision often improves quickly—within days for LASIK and SMILE, and gradually over weeks for surface procedures like PRK or LASEK.

5

Follow-Up & Long-Term Care

Scheduled follow-up visits allow us to monitor healing, optimize visual outcomes, and manage any temporary dry eye or visual fluctuations.

Refractive Surgery for Clear Vision – LASIK, SMILE, Contoura & ICL

Refractive surgery is an advanced vision correction solution designed to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses. These procedures reshape the cornea or implant corrective lenses to improve how light focuses on the retina.

What is Refractive Surgery?

Refractive surgery includes a range of laser and lens-based procedures used to correct:

  • Myopia (Nearsightedness)
  • Hyperopia (Farsightedness)
  • Astigmatism

These surgeries improve vision permanently and are widely used as an alternative to spectacles.

Types of Refractive Surgeries (IMPORTANT SEO SECTION)

1. LASIK Surgery
  • Most common laser vision correction
  • Quick procedure (10–15 minutes)
  • Fast recovery
2. SMILE Surgery
  • Minimally invasive
  • No flap creation
  • Better for dry eye patients
3. Contoura Vision
  • Topography-guided LASIK
  • Personalized treatment
  • Sharper than normal vision
4. PRK Surgery
  • Suitable for thin corneas
  • No flap
  • Slightly longer recovery
5. ICL Surgery
  • Implantable lens
  • Best for high power patients
  • Reversible procedure

Clear Answers for Better Vision

What is refractive surgery?

Refractive surgery refers to a group of surgical procedures used to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. These procedures reshape the cornea so that light can focus properly on the retina, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses.

What are the different types of vision correction surgeries available at Krishna Eye Centre?

We offer the full spectrum of modern refractive technologies, including:

LASIK: The most common laser procedure for vision correction.
SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction): A flapless, minimally invasive procedure.
Contoura Vision: Topography-guided LASIK that provides superior visual sharpness.
ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens): A permanent lens implant for those not suitable for laser surgery.

Am I a candidate for LASIK?

Most people over the age of 18 with a stable glass prescription for at least one year are candidates. However, your cornea must be thick enough and your eyes must be generally healthy. We perform a comprehensive Pre-LASIK Workup to determine the safest procedure for your specific eye structure.

What is the difference between LASIK and SMILE?

While both use lasers, LASIK involves creating a thin “flap” on the cornea. SMILE is a “flapless” procedure that uses a much smaller incision. SMILE is often preferred for patients with dry eyes or those involved in contact sports, as it preserves more corneal stability.

What is Contoura Vision, and why is it better?

Contoura Vision is the latest advancement in laser eye surgery. Unlike standard LASIK, which only corrects your prescription, Contoura maps 22,000 unique elevation points on your cornea. This allows the laser to smooth out microscopic irregularities, often resulting in vision that is better than 6/6 (better than what you had with glasses).

Is the procedure painful?

No. Refractive surgeries are virtually painless. We use numbing eye drops so you won’t feel anything during the procedure. You might feel a slight sensation of pressure for a few seconds, but the actual laser treatment usually takes less than 1 minute per eye.

How long does the surgery take, and when can I see clearly?

The entire process takes about 10–15 minutes for both eyes. Most patients notice a significant improvement in vision immediately. You can usually return to work and drive within 24 to 48 hours after LASIK or SMILE.

Are the results of laser eye surgery permanent?

Yes, the changes made to the cornea are permanent. However, it’s important to note that laser surgery cannot prevent age-related changes like Presbyopia (the need for reading glasses after age 40), which affects the eye’s internal lens rather than the cornea.

What happens if my cornea is too thin for LASIK?

At ASG, we specialize in ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) for patients with high prescriptions or thin corneas. An ICL is a tiny, biocompatible lens placed inside the eye. It provides high-definition vision and can be removed if necessary, making it an excellent alternative for those rejected for LASIK.

Why should I choose Krishna Eye Centre for my vision correction?

Krishna Eye Centre is equipped with the world’s most advanced laser platforms. Our surgeons are pioneers in refractive surgery, and our personalized approach ensures that you receive the specific technology (LASIK, SMILE, or Contoura) that is safest and most effective for your unique eyes.
