LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular procedure designed to reshape the cornea using laser technology, improving how light is focused onto the retina. It offers a long-term alternative to glasses or contact lenses.

Ideal LASIK candidates are over 18, have stable vision for at least a year, and are free from eye conditions like severe dry eye or corneal diseases. A consultation with our team will determine your eligibility.

Most LASIK patients notice improved vision within 24 hours, though full recovery can take a few weeks. You may experience mild discomfort, but this is manageable and temporary. Follow-up visits ensure your eyes are healing as expected.

Most medical aids don’t cover elective procedures like LASIK. However, we can provide the necessary documentation to assist with inquiries to your medical aid provider.
