1. What is LASIK Surgery?

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is the world’s most popular elective surgical procedure for vision correction. It uses a highly precise excimer laser to reshape the cornea – the clear front surface of the eye – thereby correcting refractive errors including myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism.

At Crystal Clear Eye Clinic in Andheri West, located on Swami Vivekanand Road near NADCO Shopping Centre, Dr. Jignesh Gala performs advanced bladeless LASIK using the SCHWIND AMARIS Excimer Laser imported from Germany. This 7th-generation laser platform represents the cutting edge of refractive technology.

Studies published in journals like the American Academy of Ophthalmology Journal show that over 96% of LASIK patients achieve 20/20 vision or better, with satisfaction rates exceeding 95%.

2. Am I a Candidate for LASIK?

Not everyone is suitable for LASIK surgery in Andheri West. Dr. Gala conducts a comprehensive 30-minute screening to determine your eligibility.

Good LASIK Candidates Typically Have:

  • Age between 18 and 40 years
  • Stable vision prescription for at least 1 year
  • Corneal thickness above 500 microns
  • No active eye diseases (keratoconus, severe dry eye, infections)
  • Refractive error within treatable range (-1.00 to -10.00 D myopia, up to +6.00 D hyperopia, up to 6.00 D astigmatism)
  • Realistic expectations about outcomes

You May NOT Be Suitable If:

  • You have keratoconus or other corneal ectatic disorders
  • Your corneas are too thin for safe flap creation
  • You have severe dry eye syndrome
  • You have uncontrolled diabetes or autoimmune diseases
  • You are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • You have very large pupils (may increase risk of glare/halos)

Important: A thorough pre-LASIK screening at Crystal Clear Eye Clinic is mandatory and FREE. The CSO Sirius+ Scheimpflug Tomographer and comprehensive corneal analysis will determine the safest procedure for your eyes. Never proceed with LASIK without proper screening.

1050 Hz Pulse Rate

The fastest excimer laser available, reducing treatment time to just 10-30 seconds per eye, minimizing dehydration and patient fixation issues.

0.54mm Laser Spot

Ultra-fine spot size creates smoother corneal ablation profiles for superior visual quality and reduced higher-order aberrations.

Wavefront-Optimized

Preserves natural corneal asphericity, reducing induction of spherical aberration and improving night vision quality.

PresbyMAX Option

6. The LASIK Procedure Step-by-Step

Your LASIK surgery in Andheri West at Crystal Clear Eye Clinic follows a precise protocol:

Step 1: Pre-Operative Preparation

Comprehensive screening using the CSO Sirius+ Scheimpflug Tomographer, autorefractometer, corneal topography, pachymetry, pupillometry, and dry eye assessment. Dr. Gala personally reviews all measurements.

Step 2: Anaesthetic Eye Drops

Numbing drops are applied. No injections or general anaesthesia needed. You remain awake and comfortable throughout.

Step 3: Corneal Flap Creation (Bladeless)

A femtosecond laser creates a thin corneal flap in approximately 15-20 seconds. This bladeless approach is safer than microkeratome blades.

Step 4: Excimer Laser Reshaping

The flap is gently lifted, and the SCHWIND AMARIS laser reshapes the corneal tissue in 10-30 seconds based on your unique prescription. The 7D eye tracking ensures perfect alignment.

Step 5: Flap Repositioning

The flap is placed back in position where it adheres naturally without stitches. antibiotic and lubricating drops are applied.

Step 6: Post-Operative Care

You rest for 15-20 minutes, receive post-operative instructions and eye drops, and can go home. Vision improves within hours.

10. Frequently Asked Questions

What is LASIK surgery and how does it work?

LASIK uses an excimer laser to reshape the cornea, correcting myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. At Crystal Clear Eye Clinic, we use the SCHWIND AMARIS laser for bladeless, precision LASIK.

What is the cost of LASIK surgery in Andheri West?

LASIK cost ranges from Rs. 35,000 to Rs. 90,000 for both eyes depending on technology. Standard bladeless LASIK starts at Rs. 35,000. EMI options available.

Am I a good candidate for LASIK surgery?

Good candidates are 18-40 years old with stable vision for 1+ years, adequate corneal thickness (500+ microns), and no active eye diseases. A free screening at our clinic will confirm your eligibility.

What is the difference between bladeless LASIK and SMILE?

Bladeless LASIK creates a corneal flap and reshapes with excimer laser. SMILE is flapless, removing a lenticule through a small incision. SMILE may cause less dry eye and suits higher myopia.

How long is the recovery after LASIK surgery?

Most patients see clearly within 24 hours and resume normal activities in 2-3 days. Complete visual stabilization takes 1-3 months.

Is LASIK surgery painful?

LASIK is virtually painless with numbing eye drops. Some mild discomfort or dryness may occur for a few hours post-surgery.

What laser technology does Crystal Clear Eye Clinic use?

The SCHWIND AMARIS Excimer Laser from Germany with 1050 Hz pulse rate, 7D eye tracking, and wavefront-optimized profiles.

How long does the LASIK procedure take?

Laser treatment takes 10-30 seconds per eye. The entire procedure including preparation takes 15-20 minutes for both eyes.

People Also Ask

Is LASIK permanent?
LASIK permanently reshapes the cornea. However, natural age-related changes like presbyopia (need for reading glasses after 40) can still occur. Some patients may need enhancement after 10-15 years.
Can LASIK correct high myopia?
LASIK can correct up to -10.00D myopia depending on corneal thickness. For higher myopia, SMILE or ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) may be recommended. Dr. Gala evaluates each case individually.
What are the side effects of LASIK?
Common temporary side effects include dry eyes, glare, halos, and light sensitivity. These usually resolve within weeks to months. Serious complications are rare with experienced surgeons and proper screening.
Which is better – LASIK or SMILE?
Both are excellent procedures. SMILE is flapless with potentially less dry eye, ideal for higher myopia. LASIK offers faster visual recovery and can treat a wider range of prescriptions including hyperopia. Dr. Gala recommends based on your eye profile.
