LASIK Surgery in Hyderabad | Sarojana Eye Hospital
Laser vision correction for myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism with rapid recovery
What is LASIK Surgery?
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a refractive surgery that permanently reshapes the cornea using a precise laser beam to correct myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (long-sightedness), and astigmatism. At Sarojana Eye Hospital in Hasthinapuram, Hyderabad, LASIK is performed by fellowship-trained surgeons using state-of-the-art laser technology for safe, reliable, and lasting vision correction. Before surgery, a comprehensive eligibility work-up assesses corneal thickness, topography, pupil size, and ocular surface health to confirm you are a suitable candidate. The procedure creates a thin corneal flap, applies an excimer laser to reshape the underlying tissue, and repositioning the flap without stitches. Most patients experience rapid visual recovery and reduced dependence on glasses for distance vision. For those not ideal for LASIK, alternatives such as SMILE, TRANS PRK, and SMARTSURF are discussed at our Hasthinapuram clinic near Nagarjuna Sagar Road.

How is LASIK Surgery Performed at Sarojana Eye Hospital?
Pre-op evaluation
Comprehensive testing including corneal topography, thickness mapping, and refraction confirms LASIK eligibility.
Corneal flap creation
A thin flap is created on the corneal surface using a microkeratome or femtosecond laser.
Laser reshaping
An excimer laser precisely removes tissue to reshape the cornea and correct refractive error.
Flap repositioning
The flap is carefully repositioned and adheres naturally without stitches.
Recovery
Post-operative drops are started and protective guidelines are given for the first days and weeks.
