Procedure Steps
1

Comprehensive Eye Examination

Full ophthalmic evaluation including corneal topography, pachymetry, pupil size measurement, and refraction assessment to determine LASIK candidacy and treatment parameters.

Duration: 1-2 hours
2

Corneal Flap Creation

Femtosecond laser creates a precise, thin corneal flap which is carefully lifted to expose the underlying corneal stroma for laser treatment.

Duration: 5-10 minutes
3

Excimer Laser Corneal Reshaping

Computer-guided excimer laser precisely removes corneal tissue according to the calculated treatment profile to correct the refractive error.

Duration: 5-10 minutes
