"Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder."

According to available data, 75 million people wake up every morning groping in broad daylight for their eyeglasses, or, squinting to see without their contact lenses. But more than a million people, each year, give up their daily struggle and make the decision to have laser vision correction.

Refractive surgery is gaining popularity in India, among the public as well as among ophthalmologists. Until a few years ago only a few centers performed high volume radial keratotomy. Today, the highest international quality of eye care for cornea, cataract, squint and glaucoma is available in various centers all over India.

When it comes to reliability, India has the best ophthalmic surgeons with clinico-academic expertise honed to perfection in the best possible institutions. Hyperopics and LASIK are available and even supra hard cataracts are treated using just 1 mm incision instead of the 3 mm incision size.

Photo Refractive Keratectomy or PRK treats the surface of the cornea with the Excimer laser while LASIK treats the inner tissue of the cornea. For this reason, with LASIK there is less area to heal, less risk of scarring, less risk of corneal haze, less post-operative pain and vision often returns very rapidly.
