What to Expect
Timeline: 1–3 months (including recovery)
Vision correction starts with two specialist ophthalmologist consultations — one for initial assessment and corneal mapping, and a second pre-operative check. The LASIK procedure itself takes about 15 minutes for both eyes using a femtosecond laser. Most patients see improved vision within 24 hours, with full stabilisation over 1–3 months. Follow-up visits are included in most clinic packages.
