A New Look at a Clearer Tomorrow
At Dr. Sundeep Pannu Eye Centre, Hisar, laser vision correction begins with a comprehensive assessment to determine whether LASIK is appropriate for your eyes. Patient selection and pre-operative screening are as important as the laser procedure itself.
“It's not just about removing glasses, it's about improving your quality of life.” — Dr. Sundeep Pannu
What Can LASIK Correct?
LASIK may be used for suitable patients with:
The suitability and expected outcome depend on factors such as age, refractive stability, corneal thickness and shape, ocular health and individual visual requirements.
Advanced LASIK Evaluation
A detailed eye examination may include:
✓ Comprehensive eye examination
✓ Accurate refraction
✓ Corneal topography
✓ Corneal tomography
✓ Pachymetry and corneal thickness assessment
✓ Tear-film and ocular-surface evaluation
✓ Assessment of the retina and optic nerve
✓ Pupil evaluation where appropriate
✓ Detailed assessment of refractive stability
Important Note
These investigations help identify suitable candidates and those who may benefit from an alternative procedure.
Personalized Laser Vision Correction
Different Eyes. Different Solutions.
There is no single laser procedure suitable for every eye. Depending on corneal anatomy, refractive error
and ocular health, an ophthalmologist may consider:
LASIK
A corneal flap is created and an excimer laser reshapes the underlying corneal tissue.
Femto-LASIK
A femtosecond laser is used to create the corneal flap, followed by excimer laser corneal reshaping.
PRK / Surface Ablation
A flap-free laser vision-correction technique that may be considered in selected patients, particularly when corneal parameters make LASIK less suitable.
The most appropriate procedure is selected after detailed clinical evaluation.
What to Expect
01. Before Surgery
Comprehensive screening and counselling are performed to determine suitability and discuss realistic expectations.
02. During Surgery
The procedure is performed under topical anaesthesia. Laser treatment is precisely applied according to the patient's refractive measurements and corneal profile.
03. After Surgery
Patients receive postoperative medication and instructions, followed by scheduled examinations to monitor healing and visual recovery.
Many appropriately selected patients experience significant improvement in vision soon after treatment, although recovery varies from person to person.
Is LASIK Suitable for Everyone?
No.
LASIK may not be appropriate in certain situations, including some patients with:
❌ Abnormal or irregular corneal shape
❌ Keratoconus or suspected corneal ectasia
❌ Insufficient corneal thickness
❌ Unstable refractive power
❌ Significant ocular-surface disease
❌ Certain retinal or ocular conditions
❌ Uncontrolled systemic conditions
A detailed examination is essential before making a decision.
LASIK & Your Long-Term Vision
LASIK corrects the existing refractive error by reshaping the cornea, but it does not prevent future age-related changes in vision.
Patients may still develop conditions such as presbyopia, cataract or retinal disease later in life.
Therefore, regular eye examinations remain important even after successful laser vision correction.
