Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is Flapless LASIK Surgery?
It’s a minimally invasive laser eye procedure where a femtosecond laser reshapes the cornea by removing a small lenticule—no flap required.
2. How is the Flapless LASIK Surgery Procedure different from traditional LASIK?
Traditional LASIK cuts a corneal flap; flapless LASIK (like CLEAR) reshapes the cornea through a small incision, reducing complications and enhancing safety.
3. What are the main benefits of Flapless LASIK Surgery?
Key benefits include faster recovery, less dry eye, flap-free safety, and suitability for thin corneas.
4. Am I a good candidate for Flapless LASIK?
If you have stable vision, no major corneal disease, and are not a good candidate for traditional LASIK due to thin corneas or active lifestyle, you may qualify.
5. Is Flapless LASIK Surgery available in Mumbai?
Yes, many top eye hospitals and LASIK centers in Mumbai offer flapless procedures like CLEAR and SMILE.
6. What is the recovery time after Flapless LASIK Surgery?
Most patients return to daily activities within 2–3 days, with full visual stabilization in 1–2 weeks.
