| LASIK makes everything clear.
A surgical computer using multiple beam widths and automatic tracking mechanisms to capture the movements of the eye in three dimensions generates precise maps of each eye. This data is then used to apply a micro-fine laser directly to the cornea. Our Active Trak Automatic Centering Device then locates the exact center of the pupil and automatically sets the appropriate treatment settings for your eye. This fully integrated system ensures optimum precision and maximum safety for you.

LASIK is a well-established, world-class method for refractive correction. To date, more than 6,500 procedures have been successfully completed at Bumrungrad International. Complications are rare and will be discussed by your doctor. Additional safety is assured by performing the surgery in a sterile operating theater environment.

What is the success rate?

How long does it take?
LASIK is an outpatient procedure that takes about 15-20 minutes per eye. Most patients go home without eye gauze, but a transparent eye-shield is provided for maximum safety. The majority of patients can see well within 24 hours, with the full benefits being realized within 1 to 2 weeks.

Can I do both eyes at the same time?
Both eyes can be done at the same time, however your ophthalmologist may recommend treating each eye separately, depending on your individual circumstances.
