LASIK

LASIK is an option for people who:

• Want to see clearly without relying on glasses or contacts
• Are 18 years or older
• Have had a stable prescription for at least one year
• Have healthy eyes without major issues
  Don’t have conditions like glaucoma or cataracts
• Imaju rožnjače koje nisu pretanke (provjerićemo ovo tokom pregleda vaših očiju).

Same-day LASIK is a streamlined vision correction process that allows patients to have their consultation and LASIK procedure on the same day. Instead of multiple visits, you can undergo a thorough eye examination in the morning and, if eligible, proceed with LASIK that same afternoon.

This approach eliminates unnecessary delays, making vision correction faster and more convenient. It’s especially ideal for those with busy schedules or travelling from outside the area, allowing them to complete their procedure in just one visit.

With advanced laser technology and expert surgeons, you can experience safe, precise, and life-changing vision correction—all in one day!

Currently, the most popular and frequently used method of laser vision correction is Laser Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK).

Ovom metodom laserski se koriguje dioptrija u preko 95% slučajeva, što je čini trenutno nezamjenljivom u refraktivnoj hirurgiji oka.

Unlike the PRK method, in LASIK, the epithelium is not removed. Instead, a flap is created on the surface of the cornea through an incision. This flap is lifted from the cornea, the stroma is reshaped with a laser to correct the diopter, and then the flap is placed back in its original position on the eye.

Due to this method of diopter correction, LASIK can correct minus diopters up to -9, plus diopters up to +4, and astigmatism up to ±5 diopters.

Another advantage of LASIK is the significantly faster postoperative recovery. Patients can return to most of their daily activities within 1-2 days after the procedure, with virtually no pain, blurred vision, or eye tearing.

Advantages:

• LASIK is highly precise and effectively corrects vision
• The procedure is painless
• Recovery is quick
• Your vision improves significantly
• It can correct both near and far vision issues, as well as irregularly shaped eyes
• If needed, a second LASIK surgery can be easily performed

Disadvantages:

• The procedure involves creating a small flap on the eye, which can occasionally lead to complications. This flap could shift, become infected, or develop skin cells underneath it.

Like any surgery, LASIK comes with some risks.

Serious but very rare risks include:

• Your vision could worsen even with glasses
• The clear front part of your eye could change shape in an unfavourable way
• The clear front part of your eye could develop an infection.

Minor risks include:

• Your eyes may feel dry
• You might have difficulty seeing at night, such as seeing halos around lights
• Your eyes might gradually return to their previous condition, and you may need glasses or another LASIK surgery in the future.

If LASIK isn’t the right option for you, there are other alternatives to consider. PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is an excellent choice for those with thinner corneas. Another option is FemtoLASIK, which offers a minimally invasive approach. Lens replacement surgery can be ideal for people with severe vision issues. Each option has its own benefits, and your eye doctor will help determine the best solution based on your unique needs.

Step 1: We’ll apply special drops to numb your eye. Once the drops take effect, we’ll use a tool to gently keep your eye open
Step 2: Using a precise laser, we create a small flap on the clear front part of your eye
Step 3: You’ll then be moved to a different laser
Step 4 We carefully lift the flap to reveal the inner layer of the clear front part of your eye
Step 5: The new laser reshapes the inner layer of the clear front part of your eye to improve your vision
Step 6: We reposition the flap, which acts as a natural bandage to protect your eye.

LASIK operacija donosi sreću mnogim ljudima jer im pomaže da vide jasno. Nakon LASIK-a, većina ljudi vidi isto kao kad nosi naočale ili sočiva, ali bez potrebe za njima. Mnogi postižu vid 100% ili čak bolji, što je izvanredan vid.

Almost everyone reaches at least 20/40 vision or better (the standard for driving). How much your vision improves depends on how your eyes were before surgery.
If the initial results don’t meet expectations, you may qualify for a free enhancement procedure.

Some people might still need glasses or contact lenses after the surgery, but with a much weaker prescription. Their vision will be greatly improved, but they might need a little help for perfect clarity.

With LASIK, life gets simpler. You can wake up and see the clock without searching for your glasses. You can enjoy sports, swimming, and outdoor activities without worrying about your glasses or contacts. Seeing clearly from morning to night feels amazing. This surgery opens up a world where your vision supports your freedom, making every day more enjoyable.
