Custom LASIK

Custom LASIK is an advanced type of Lasik Laser Eye Surgery that corrects your vision with a level of accuracy standard LASIK cannot match. Using Wavefront-guided LASIK technology, our specialists create a personalized “vision map” of your eyes during your Pre-LASIK evaluation. This map captures even the smallest imperfections in how your eyes focus light, allowing us to plan a treatment unique to you.

We perform Blade-free LASIK using the IntraLase femtosecond laser, a laser system that creates a precise corneal flap without using a blade. This makes the procedure safer, more comfortable, and more consistent.

Who Should Consider Custom LASIK ?

Custom LASIK is designed for people who want clear, sharp vision without depending on glasses or contact lenses. You may be a good candidate if you:

• Are 18 years or older with stable vision – Your prescription should not have changed in the past year.
• Have common refractive errors – This includes:
  • Myopia (nearsightedness) – difficulty seeing far objects clearly.
  • Hyperopia (farsightedness) – difficulty seeing near objects clearly.
  • Astigmatism – blurred or distorted vision caused by an irregularly shaped cornea.
• Want freedom from visual aids – Enjoy daily life, sports, travel, and social activities without glasses or contact lenses.
• Are looking for improved night vision and reduced glare – Wavefront-guided LASIK can help minimise halos and glare around lights, especially while driving at night.

A Pre-LASIK evaluation at Kenia Eye Hospital will confirm if your eyes are healthy and suitable for this procedure.

Benefits of Custom LASIK

At Kenia Eye Hospital, Custom LASIK isn’t a one-size-fits-all procedure. It’s a personalised vision correction plan built around the exact measurements, shape, and needs of your eyes for the clearest results possible:

• Sharper, clearer vision – Most patients see as clearly after Custom LASIK as someone with perfect natural eyesight, often without needing glasses or contact lenses.
• Better night driving – Reduced glare and halos, which are rings or bursts of light that can appear around headlights or streetlights at night.
• Quick recovery – The procedure takes only 15 minutes for both eyes, and most people can return to normal activities within 24 hours.
• Long-term vision stability – Results are designed to last for years, due to precise correction and advanced Wavefront-guided LASIK technology.
• Freedom from glasses and contact lenses – Enjoy everyday activities without the hassle of visual aids.
• Advanced correction for unique vision errors – Treats higher-order aberrations (subtle focusing errors that standard LASIK may not fix) for crisper, more natural vision.

Step-by-Step Custom LASIK Procedure at Kenia Eye Hospital

Here’s a clear breakdown of each stage in your Custom LASIK procedure, so you know exactly what will happen on the day of your treatment.

Step 1: Comprehensive Pre-LASIK Evaluation
We start with a complete eye check-up to see if you are a good candidate. This includes:

• A corneal scan to check the shape and surface of your eye.
• A thickness check to make sure your cornea is suitable for Custom LASIK.
• A vision map to find even the smallest focusing errors.
• A tear film check to ensure your eyes stay moist and healthy after surgery.

Step 2: Blade-Free Flap Creation
Using a femtosecond laser, a computer-guided laser light, we gently create a thin flap on the surface of your eye. No blades are used, this makes the process safer, more precise, and more comfortable.

Step 3: Custom Laser Reshaping
A second laser, called an excimer laser, reshapes your cornea based on your personal vision map. This step corrects your eyesight, and an eye-tracking system keeps the laser perfectly aligned even if your eye moves slightly.

Step 4: Flap Repositioning & Healing
We gently place the flap back in position, where it naturally seals without stitches. Your eyes then start to heal right away.

It takes around 15 minutes for both eyes, the procedure is painless, and most patients notice clearer vision within 24 hours.

Is Custom LASIK Safe?

Yes. At Kenia Eye Hospital, every Custom LASIK treatment is designed with your safety and comfort as the top priority. We combine advanced Blade-free LASIK technology with careful planning to ensure the best possible results.

• Eye-tracking LASIK – A tracking system monitors your eye position 200 times per second during the procedure. If your eye moves, the laser adjusts instantly to stay perfectly aligned.
• Precise laser calibration – Before your surgery, the excimer laser is carefully tested and adjusted to deliver the exact correction your eyes require, reducing the risk of overcorrection or undercorrection.
• Blade-free technology – The IntraLase femtosecond laser creates a thin flap without using a blade, lowering the chance of flap-related complications and making the process more comfortable.
• Post-LASIK care plan – You will receive clear aftercare instructions and regular follow-up visits to minimise side effects like dry eye after LASIK or post-LASIK halos (rings of light that may appear around bright objects at night).

By combining precise technology with experienced surgical care, we make Custom LASIK a safe, reliable, and life-changing vision correction option.

Custom LASIK Recovery & Aftercare

Healing after Custom LASIK is usually quick, but following the right aftercare steps will help you get the best possible results and avoid complications.

• Follow your eye drop regimen after LASIK – You will be given special antibiotic drops to prevent infection and anti-inflammatory drops to reduce swelling and promote healing. Use them exactly as instructed.
• Protect your eyes – Avoid rubbing your eyes, swimming, heavy workouts, or being in dusty or smoky environments for a few weeks. This prevents irritation and helps the LASIK flap heal properly.
• Limit screen time – Reduce computer, phone, and TV use for the first couple of days to avoid eye strain and dryness.
• Attend all follow-up visits after LASIK – These check-ups let your surgeon monitor healing and ensure your vision is improving as expected.
• Expect a quick recovery – Most patients notice clearer vision within 24-48 hours, but complete healing and long-term vision stability can take up to 3 months.

By following these simple aftercare steps, you can enjoy your new, sharper vision for years to come.
