Spectacles can be bulky and uncomfortable, while contact lenses irritate the eyes. However, the lack of comfort is no longer a concern as nowadays more and more people are opting for Laser Assisted In-situ Keratomileusis (LASIK)/Laser Subepithelial Keratomileusis (LASEK) laser vision correction.

In fact, Nawaloka Hospital’s state-of-the-art LASIK/LASEK eye surgery can permanently eliminate the need for eye glasses by correcting common disorders of the eye, such as short-sightedness, far-sightedness and astigmatism.

Taking just 20 minutes to complete, LASIK/LASEK can most importantly be carried out as an out patient procedure which means it is highly convenient and affords only minimal disruption to one’s daily routine.

To date, the Nawaloka Hospital LASIK centre has performed over 3,000 such procedures, and every surgery is preceded by a thorough examination to evaluate the patient’s eye condition. Should the patient have any underlying medical issues, these will be addressed first.

Post surgery feedback from patients has been positive with many going on to encourage their friends and loved ones to reap the benefits of this treatment.

Those affected by short-sightedness, far-sightedness and astigmatism now have much needed hope with LASIK/LASEK eye surgery tailored to suit each person’s eyes and medical requirements from Nawaloka Hospital.

Interestingly enough, the challenge now faced by many who have undergone this procedure at Nawaloka Hospital is trying to adjust to life without spectacles and contact lenses.
