LASIK Service – EYE BANGKOK HOSPITAL

Permanent Vision Correction with Advanced Laser Technology

LASIK at EYE BANGKOK HOSPITAL provides a permanent solution for refractive errors including myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, allowing patients to achieve clear vision without reliance on glasses or contact lenses.

While glasses and contact lenses offer temporary correction, LASIK addresses the root cause of refractive errors through precise laser technology, delivering long-term visual improvement.

What is LASIK?

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a surgical procedure that reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors.

A corneal flap is created using either:

• a Microkeratome blade, or

• a Femtosecond Laser

An Excimer Laser then reshapes the cornea based on individualized calculations performed by an ophthalmologist to ensure accurate light focus on the retina.

The procedure is highly precise, safe, and typically takes 15–20 minutes per eye with minimal downtime.

Conditions Treated

• Myopia (Nearsightedness) – Blurred distance vision

• Hyperopia (Farsightedness) – Blurred near vision

• Astigmatism – Distorted or shadowed vision

Types of Procedures

Microkeratome LASIK

Traditional flap creation with a blade, followed by laser reshaping.
Suitable for mild to moderate refractive errors.

Femto LASIK

Flap creation using Femtosecond Laser technology for enhanced precision.
Ideal for moderate to high refractive errors.

ReLEx SMILE

Minimally invasive, flapless laser procedure with a small incision and faster recovery.
Suitable for patients with thin corneas or moderate refractive errors.

PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)

Surface-based laser correction without flap creation.
Recommended for athletes or individuals at higher risk of eye trauma.
