Performed by Dr. Praneeth Putti at Sharp Vision Eye Hospital
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) in Hyderabad is an advanced refractive surgery that reshapes the cornea to correct vision problems like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. This FDA-approved procedure uses precision laser technology to reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses and contact lenses. Dr. Praneeth Putti at Sharp Vision Eye Hospital performs LASIK with state-of-the-art equipment and personalized treatment protocols.
We believe in honest, upfront disclosure so you can make an informed decision.
A step-by-step look at what happens during this procedure.
A thin hinged flap is created on the corneal surface using a femtosecond laser or microkeratome blade, which is then gently lifted to expose the underlying corneal tissue.
An excimer laser precisely removes microscopic amounts of corneal tissue based on your unique prescription, reshaping the cornea to correct refractive errors.
The corneal flap is carefully repositioned back onto the eye where it adheres naturally without stitches, acting as a natural bandage.
The surgeon examines the flap positioning and ensures proper alignment, while you may notice improved vision almost immediately after the procedure.
Protective eye shields are provided to prevent accidental rubbing, and medicated eye drops are prescribed to promote healing and prevent infection.
A structured, patient-first approach from first consultation to full recovery.
Sharp Vision Eye Hospital conducts comprehensive eye examinations including corneal topography, wavefront analysis, and pachymetry to create a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique eye structure.
Dr. Praneeth Putti designs individualized LASIK protocols using advanced diagnostic data, ensuring optimal visual outcomes and addressing specific refractive errors with precision.
We utilize the latest FDA-approved femtosecond and excimer laser systems with bladeless technology, eye-tracking capabilities, and wavefront-guided treatment for superior accuracy and safety.
Our dedicated team provides detailed post-operative instructions, scheduled follow-up appointments, and 24/7 support to monitor your recovery and ensure the best possible visual outcomes.
What to expect at each stage of your recovery journey.
In the first 24 hours after LASIK, you may experience mild burning, tearing, or blurry vision. Most patients notice significant vision improvement within hours. Rest your eyes, use prescribed drops, and wear protective shields while sleeping.
During the first week, vision continues to improve and stabilize. Avoid rubbing your eyes, swimming, or strenuous activities. Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments and continue using prescribed medications as directed.
Over 1-3 months, your vision reaches optimal clarity as the cornea fully heals. Minor fluctuations in vision are normal during this period. Most patients achieve their final visual acuity within 3-6 months post-procedure.
Most patients achieve 20/20 vision or better after LASIK, with significant reduction in dependence on corrective eyewear for daily activities.
Patients typically experience noticeable vision improvement within 24 hours, with continued enhancement over subsequent weeks as healing progresses.
LASIK provides permanent corneal reshaping with stable, long-term vision correction that lasts for decades in most patients.
Freedom from glasses and contacts enhances lifestyle flexibility, sports participation, professional opportunities, and overall confidence and convenience.
