Permanent freedom from glasses and contact lenses. Bladeless, painless laser vision correction by Dr. Ajay Seth — Bhiwadi's most experienced eye surgeon.
LASIK — which stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis — is a surgical procedure that permanently changes the shape of your cornea using an excimer laser. By precisely reshaping the corneal tissue, LASIK corrects the way light enters your eye and focuses on your retina, eliminating the need for spectacles or contact lenses.
At Jagdamba Eye Hospital in Bhiwadi, we have been performing LASIK since its introduction in India. Dr. Ajay Seth has helped hundreds of patients from Bhiwadi, Rajasthan and neighbouring Punjab achieve clear, spectacle-free vision. The procedure typically takes less than 15 minutes for both eyes and most patients experience significantly improved vision the very next day.
LASIK is suitable for adults with stable refractive errors — nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism. A comprehensive pre-operative assessment ensures you are an ideal candidate before any procedure begins.
The excimer laser reshapes the cornea beneath the flap, correcting the refractive error permanently.
Not everyone is a candidate for LASIK. Our pre-operative assessment checks all the criteria before we recommend the procedure. Ideal candidates are:
If you are not suitable for standard LASIK, alternatives such as PRK or ICL implants may still allow you to achieve spectacle-free vision — our team will advise you accordingly.
A thorough examination measures your corneal thickness, topography, pupil size and full refractive error. This takes about 45 minutes and determines your precise laser parameters.
Numbing drops are instilled in both eyes. The procedure is completely painless — you may feel mild pressure but nothing sharp or uncomfortable.
A thin, protective flap is created on the cornea using a precision microkeratome blade or femtosecond laser. This flap is gently lifted to expose the underlying corneal stroma.
The excimer laser removes microscopic amounts of corneal tissue in a pre-programmed pattern. For myopia, the central cornea is flattened; for hyperopia it is steepened. The laser works for only 20–60 seconds per eye.
The corneal flap is carefully repositioned and adheres naturally within minutes. No stitches are required. You will rest for 30 minutes in the recovery area before going home.
Vision may be blurry and eyes may water slightly. Rest is essential. Most patients can see clearly enough to navigate the room within hours. You will need someone to drive you home.
Most patients achieve functional vision by the next morning. Mild dryness, light sensitivity and haloes around lights are normal and temporary. Avoid rubbing eyes. Use prescribed drops regularly.
Vision stabilises for most patients. You can return to most physical activities. Continue using lubricating drops. Night vision continues to improve as healing progresses.
The cornea is fully healed and your final prescription is stable. The vast majority of patients achieve 6/6 or better vision. Annual follow-ups are recommended.
