What Is Refractive Surgery & Why Consider It Now?
Refractive surgery corrects vision errors — myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism — by reshaping the cornea so light focuses accurately on the retina.
It’s ideal for individuals tired of glasses or contact lenses who desire visual freedom with safe, predictable results.
Key Benefits Bullets:
- Clear vision without glasses or contact lenses
- Fast visual recovery (especially after LASIK)
- Long-term stability with modern diagnostic planning
- Safe and proven procedure performed by an experienced surgeon
LASIK — Your Path to Instant Clarity
LASIK reshapes the cornea using an excimer laser to correct refractive errors and reduce dependence on glasses. Dr. Saluja performs LASIK with precision and care, focusing on safety, stability and visual comfort.
Ideal Candidates:
- Age ≥ 18 years
- Stable prescription for ≥ 1 year
- Healthy cornea and adequate thickness
- No active eye disease or auto-immune condition
Procedure Overview (3 steps):
- Preparation: Comprehensive evaluation including topography, pachymetry and dry-eye tests.
- Laser Correction: Excimer laser reshapes the corneal surface with computer-guided accuracy.
- Recovery: Immediate vision improvement; functional vision within 24–48 hours.
Post-Care Highlights:
Protective eyewear, eye drops, and follow-ups at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month.
PRK — Surface Laser Vision Correction for Thin Corneas
PRK is a safe and effective alternative to LASIK for patients with thinner corneas or occupations requiring greater corneal strength.
Instead of creating a flap, the surface cells (epithelium) are gently removed and the laser reshapes the cornea directly.
Advantages of PRK:
- Suitable for thin corneas or active lifestyles (sports, defense, aviation)
- No flap-related complications
- Permanent and stable results once healed
Recovery Timeline:
Vision improves over 5–7 days; final stabilization in 2–4 weeks.
When LASIK or PRK Is Not Ideal — ICL Offers a Solution
For patients with very high power or extremely thin corneas, Dr. Saluja recommends ICL / IPCL implantation — a reversible procedure where a custom lens is placed inside the eye to correct vision without removing tissue.
It delivers crystal-clear results for powers up to –18D.

Frequently Asked Questions on LASIK & PRK
Yes. It is one of the most performed elective eye surgeries worldwide with very high success rates when performed by qualified surgeons.
PRK does not involve creating a corneal flap and is better for thin corneas or specific occupations.
Minor residual numbers can exist but do not impact daily vision or comfort.
After LASIK — usually within 2 days; after PRK — around a week.
