Refractive Surgeries
Personalized Solutions for a Spectacle-Free Life
Refractive surgery is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Every eye is unique—its shape, corneal thickness, visual needs, and lifestyle demands are different. That’s why modern refractive surgery is about tailor-made solutions, designed specifically for your eyes. At Vision & Beyond, we use advanced diagnostic tools to craft a customized treatment plan that delivers the clearest, safest, and most stable results for you.
Latest Refractive Surgery Options
Femtosecond LASIK (Blade-Free LASIK)
Flap creation with a femtosecond laser followed by precise excimer laser correction. Quick, painless, and highly accurate.
Contoura Vision LASIK (Topography-Guided LASIK)
The most advanced LASIK technology which maps 22,000 unique elevation points on your cornea to correct even the smallest imperfections. Offers superior visual sharpness and clarity compared to conventional LASIK.
SMILE Surgery (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction)
A flapless, minimally invasive procedure that preserves corneal strength. Ideal for patients with active lifestyles or dry eye issues.
SMILE PRO
An upgraded version of SMILE with faster laser time, smaller incision, and smoother recovery.
SILK (Smooth Incision Lenticule Keratomileusis)
Ultra-smooth lenticule extraction with enhanced night vision clarity and reduced optical aberrations.
SmartSight
Next-generation lenticule extraction with high precision and fast visual recovery. Uses cutting-edge laser technology.
Epi-LASIK
Surface ablation technique, suitable for patients with thin corneas. No flap is created; slightly longer healing time but excellent visual outcomes.
Phakic IOL (ICL)
An implantable lens placed inside the eye, suitable for high refractive errors or thin corneas. Offers sharp, HD-quality vision and is reversible.
Options for Presbyopia Correction (For Age 40+)
Presbyopia, or age-related difficulty in near vision, can be addressed with:
- Multifocal LASIK / PresbyLASIK: Customized laser correction to improve both near and distance vision.
- Monovision LASIK: One eye corrected for distance, the other for near vision.
- Phakic IOL with Multifocal Optics: Implantable lenses that correct distance and near vision simultaneously.
- Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE): The natural lens is replaced with a multifocal or trifocal IOL, offering permanent freedom from glasses.
Life After Refractive Surgery : A New Visual Freedom
Undergoing refractive surgery isn’t just a clinical decision—it’s a lifestyle upgrade:
- No more fogged-up glasses during workouts or wearing masks.
- Freedom to swim, play sports, and travel without visual aids.
- Enhanced self-confidence in social and professional settings.
- Eliminating the constant hassle and recurring expenses of lenses or glasses.
- Sharp, natural vision from the moment you wake up.
Is Refractive Surgery Safe?
With modern technologies like femtosecond lasers, advanced diagnostics, and personalized surgical planning, refractive surgeries today are extremely safe, precise, and effective. A thorough pre-operative evaluation ensures you are an ideal candidate for the chosen procedure.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
-
Am I a suitable candidate for refractive surgery?
If you are above 18 years of age, have stable glasses prescription for at least 1 year, and have healthy eyes, you may be a candidate. Detailed tests like corneal topography, pachymetry, and wavefront analysis are done to assess suitability.
-
Which surgery is best for me: LASIK, SMILE, or Phakic IOL?
The choice depends on multiple factors like your corneal thickness, refractive error, lifestyle needs, and eye health. At Vision & Beyond, we offer personalized recommendations after a comprehensive evaluation.
-
Is the procedure painful?
Refractive surgeries are done under topical anesthesia (numbing eye drops). Patients typically feel no pain, just slight pressure. Recovery is quick with minimal discomfort.
-
How soon can I resume work after surgery?
Most patients return to routine activities within 1-2 days, depending on the type of surgery. For surface ablation procedures like Epi-LASIK, recovery may take a few extra days.
-
Will the results last forever?
For most patients, the results are long-lasting. However, age-related changes like presbyopia (after 40s) are natural and may require reading glasses in the future.
-
What if I have a very high number?
For patients with high myopia or hyperopia, or those unsuitable for corneal laser procedures, Phakic IOLs (ICL) are an excellent alternative, offering high quality vision.
Takeaway: Refractive Surgery is a Customized Vision Journey
Every eye is different, and the approach to vision correction should be too. Whether you’re a young professional wanting to get rid of glasses or someone in your 40s seeking freedom from both distance and reading glasses, there’s a personalized refractive solution for you.
At Vision & Beyond, we ensure a thorough evaluation using corneal mapping, wavefront aberrometry, tear film analysis, and other advanced diagnostics to recommend the surgery that’s best for your unique eyes and lifestyle needs.
