Lasik (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) eye surgery has gained impressive popularity over the last few years due to its magical benefits, allowing people to see clearly without spectacles or contact lenses. The best part is its results are often permanent and there is negligible risk of harm during and after the procedure.
If you are suggested for this procedure, don’t give it a second thought; just go for it. But always consider an ophthalmologist having an experience of over 20 years and more than 5000+ lasik eye surgeries. Having a trusted and experienced surgeon by your side can help you achieve the best result. This blog will walk you through the pros and cons of lasik eye surgery. So, let’s get started:
Painless Procedure
LASIK is a relatively painless procedure. At most, you may feel a slight heaviness in your eyes during the procedure. In most cases, patients don’t experience any pain and never need any stitches.
Quick Surgery
Lasik procedure takes around 15 to 20 minutes and you will be discharged on the same day of the procedure.
Safe Procedure
Lasik eye surgery is a highly safe and effective procedure that has been performed for years with high success and patient satisfaction rates.

Most patients are able to see clearly within 24 hours of lasik eye surgery. You can return to your normal activities like school, work and office within a few days of the procedure after consulting your doctor.
