What the procedure involves.
Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis for myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. China performs millions of laser vision correction procedures annually — one of the highest volumes globally. Leading centers: Beijing Tongren Hospital, Aier Eye Hospital Group (nationwide), He Eye Specialist Hospital. Uses latest excimer and femtosecond laser systems (Zeiss, Alcon, Johnson & Johnson).
Step by step.
Comprehensive Eye Examination
Full ophthalmic evaluation including corneal topography, pachymetry, pupil size measurement, and refraction assessment to determine LASIK candidacy and treatment parameters.
Corneal Flap Creation
Femtosecond laser creates a precise, thin corneal flap which is carefully lifted to expose the underlying corneal stroma for laser treatment.
Excimer Laser Corneal Reshaping
Computer-guided excimer laser precisely removes corneal tissue according to the calculated treatment profile to correct the refractive error.
Post-Operative Care and Follow-Up
Corneal flap repositioning, protective shield placement, prescribed antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye drops, with follow-up visits at 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month.
- 50-65% cost savings compared to US pricing

- Latest femtosecond and excimer laser technology from leading manufacturers
- Quick visual recovery with most patients seeing clearly within 24 hours
- Dry eye syndrome lasting weeks to months post-procedure
- Halos and glare at night especially in the early recovery period
- Flap complications including incomplete flap or epithelial ingrowth
- Over-correction or under-correction requiring enhancement procedure
