Flapless LASIK eye surgery in Mumbai offers a modern and effective solution for individuals looking to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism without the need to create a corneal flap.

This technique uses advanced laser technology to reshape the surface of the cornea directly. It is a preferred option for patients with thin corneas, active lifestyles, or those who are not suitable candidates for traditional LASIK procedures. The result is a safer experience, a lower risk of complications, and a faster return to daily activities.

What Is Flapless LASIK?

In traditional LASIK surgery, a thin flap is created on the surface of the cornea and lifted to allow laser correction underneath. Flapless LASIK, also known as TransPRK or surface ablation, takes a different approach. No flap is created. Instead, the laser works directly on the surface of the cornea to reshape it.

This technique is particularly well-suited for individuals with thinner corneas, dry eyes, or those involved in contact sports or physically demanding activities, where avoiding flap-related risks is important.

Why Choose Flapless LASIK in Mumbai?

Flapless LASIK offers several unique advantages that make it a preferred option for many patients:

• No Flap, No Blade: Ideal for individuals with thin or irregular corneas, as the procedure does not involve cutting any tissue.
• Reduced Risk of Complications: Especially beneficial for athletes and those with active lifestyles, where flap-related concerns may arise.
• Consistent, Long-Term Results: Delivers clear, stable vision with a high level of accuracy.
• Smooth Recovery Process: Healing is more gradual and natural, with no flap to manage post-surgery.
• Proven Technology: Backed by years of clinical success and trusted by eye care specialists around the world.

Who Should Consider Flapless LASIK Surgery?

Flapless LASIK is a suitable option for:

• Individuals aged 18 or older with a stable vision prescription for at least one year.
• People with thin corneas or dry eyes, who may not be ideal candidates for traditional LASIK.
• Those seeking a bladeless and flap-free procedure for added safety and peace of mind.
• Patients who have been advised against conventional LASIK due to corneal thickness or other anatomical considerations.

At Kenia Eye Hospital, we conduct a comprehensive eye evaluation to confirm whether flapless LASIK is the most appropriate and safe option for your vision needs.

Flapless LASIK Surgery Process

• Preparation - Before the procedure begins, numbing eye drops are applied to ensure comfort. The area around your eyes is gently cleaned. The procedure is completely bladeless and does not require any injections.
• Laser Correction - A precise, cool laser is used to reshape the surface of your cornea. The process is quick and typically takes only a few minutes per eye.
• Recovery - After the procedure, a soft, protective lens is placed over the treated eye to support natural healing..
• Results - Vision begins to improve gradually within 5 to 7 days. Most patients experience clearer, more stable vision within 2 to 3 weeks, depending on individual healing.

What to Expect After Flapless LASIK Surgery

• You may experience slight discomfort or a little irritation during the first day or two, which is normal and temporary.
• Vision will begin to improve gradually, with noticeable changes each day.
• The procedure does not involve stitches or bandages, making the recovery process more comfortable.
• Prescribed eye drops will help keep your eyes moist, reduce inflammation, and support healing.
• Regular follow-up visits will allow us to closely monitor your recovery and ensure everything is progressing as expected.
