Using internationally accepted medical standard and latest technology, we can correct nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism through LASIK surgery. Our center has highly experienced physicians (ophthalmologists) who are well-trained in the operation of VISX STAR ActiveTrak? Excimer Laser System, which has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States to be highly effective in treating vision problems.


How the eyes work

     Our ability to see occurs when light enters the eye through the cornea and bends (refracting) so that the image falling onto the retina is sharply focused. If the focusing powers of the cornea and lens aren't coordinated with the length or shape of the eyeball, the image is blurry, which means there is a vision problem

Our services

     If you are one of the people who have a vision problem and find it inconvenient to wear glasses or is unable to use contact lenses due to allergies, then LASIK is an attractive option for you. It is highly effective and has become very popular because you can see the result immediately after the surgery.
        
     LASIK is a revolutionary vision correcting surgical procedure that is used to permanently treat vision problem by using a special equipment to lift the top layer (about 1 of 3) of the cornea. Then the laser is used to sculpt the underlying layers (the cornea's inner tissue) to the appropriate curvature. The flap is carefully repositioned and sealed together in just minutes without stitching.

     For nearsightedness, Excimer Laser reduces the curvature of the cornea, and for farsightedness, increases the curvature. For astigmatism, it smoothens the curvature of the cornea in order for the light rays to focus more precisely on the retina, resulting in a sharper vision.
 
     Since the Excimer Laser uses a cool beam of light that reacts only on the area that it touches, it cannot travel through the cornea into the eye and cause danger to the nearby tissue or the inner part of the eye.
