What is LASIK?
LASIK is a modern and popular laser procedure for the correction of nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism. It is known for its fast recovery, accuracy and comfort. LASIK offers many patients the opportunity to see clearly without glasses or contact lenses.
How does LASIK work?
In LASIK, the ophthalmologist first creates a thin flap in the cornea using a femtosecond laser. This flap is carefully folded back, after which an excimer laser corrects the underlying cornea. After the laser treatment, the flap is replaced — it adheres by itself without stitches.
Why choose LASIK?
✅ Fast visual rehabilitation – often sharp vision the next day
✅ Painless – treatment is virtually unnoticed thanks to anesthetic eye drops
✅ Minimal downtime – many patients resume their activities within 24 hours
✅ Highly precise correction – tailor-made thanks to topography or aberrometry-guided techniques
Who is LASIK suitable for?
LASIK is ideal for people:
- vanaf 18 jaar
- with stable glasses or lens strength
- without corneal diseases or other eye problems
- who strive for glasses and lens independence
