LASIK TREATMENT IN DELHI
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a laser vision correction procedure used to reshape the cornea so that light entering the eye focuses more accurately on the retina.
LASIK may help correct common refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism, helping suitable patients reduce their dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
Every patient is different, so a detailed eye examination is required before deciding whether LASIK is the right option.
Will LASIK Remove My Specs?
LASIK has strong potential to free you from glasses or contacts, but eligibility depends on a few clear factors.
| You must be | You Should not be |
|---|---|
| You are at least 18 years old and have generally healthy eyes. | Pregnant or Breastfeeding Hormonal changes during pregnancy or breastfeeding can temporarily affect vision and eye power. |
| Your spectacle or contact lens prescription has remained stable for at least 1 year. | Some autoimmune diseases, uncontrolled diabetes, or other systemic health conditions may affect healing and LASIK suitability. |
| Your corneal thickness and overall eye health are suitable for LASIK, as confirmed during your eye examination. | Conditions such as severe dry eyes, thin or irregular corneas, keratoconus, retinal problems, glaucoma, or other eye diseases may make LASIK unsuitable. |

Frequently Asked Questions
LASIK is a well-established, FDA-approved procedure with a strong safety record when performed on properly screened, eligible candidates by experienced surgeons.
The full procedure for both eyes takes around 10 to 15 minutes, with actual laser correction lasting only seconds per eye.
No. LASIK is a day-care procedure — most patients go home within a couple of hours of the surgery.
No, arrange for someone else to drive you, since your vision may be temporarily blurry right after the procedure.
Your surgeon may suggest alternatives like PRK or ICL depending on your corneal thickness and prescription.
Many patients resume desk-based work within 1-2 days, though this depends on your surgeon's advice and job type.
Sarthi Care connects you with experienced LASIK surgeons at NABH-accredited partner hospitals in Delhi and coordinates your entire treatment journey — consultations, scheduling, and insurance support.
Coverage depends on your specific policy. Sarthi Care's team can help check eligibility and assist with cashless claims where applicable.
No. Numbing eye drops are used throughout, so the procedure itself is virtually painless. Some patients feel mild pressure for a few seconds.
Most surgeons recommend LASIK only for adults above 18 with a stable eye power for at least a year. There's no strict upper age limit, but eligibility is confirmed through screening.
Most patients don't need glasses for the refractive error LASIK corrected. Some may need reading glasses later in life due to natural aging (presbyopia).
Avoid wearing contact lenses for about a week before your screening and procedure, and skip makeup, perfume, or lotions on the day of surgery.
LASIK and Contoura Vision reshape the cornea using a laser, with Contoura offering more personalised, topography-guided correction. SMILE is a smaller-incision, flapless alternative. ICL involves implanting a lens inside the eye rather than reshaping the cornea, and is generally used for very high prescriptions or unsuitable corneas.
It depends on how well-controlled the diabetes is and whether there are any related eye complications. This is assessed individually during screening.
In some cases, a touch-up or enhancement procedure is possible if there's enough residual corneal tissue, but this is decided by your surgeon after evaluation.
Mild, temporary dryness is common after LASIK and usually improves within a few weeks with lubricating eye drops as advised by your surgeon.
Follow-ups are typically scheduled the day after surgery, then at one week, and then monthly for the first couple of months, though your surgeon may adjust this based on your healing.
In most cases, yes, though it's best to check with your surgeon first since your eyes will have changed after the procedure.
The correction to your cornea is permanent. However, natural age-related changes to the eye, like presbyopia, can still occur later in life and may require reading glasses.
The screening includes tests like corneal topography, pachymetry (corneal thickness measurement), refraction, and a dry eye assessment, along with a detailed consultation with your surgeon to confirm your suitability.
