LASIK Surgery in Navi Mumbai
A Clearer Vision Starts Here
If you’ve been thinking about getting rid of your spectacles or contact lenses, LASIK surgery in Navi Mumbai might be the safe and long-lasting solution you’re looking for. At Suruchi Eye Hospital, we help you thoroughly understand your options, enabling you to make a confident and informed decision about your eye health.
What is LASIK Surgery – And Why Do We Need It?
To understand LASIK, let’s first understand why we need spectacles in the first place.
Normally, when light enters your eye, it bends (or refracts) as it passes through the front part of your eye called the cornea. The cornea focuses this light directly on the retina, sending a message to the brain.
But sometimes, the shape of the cornea isn’t perfect. This causes the light to focus in the wrong place – either in front of the retina, behind it, or unevenly. This leads to blurry vision, known as:
- Nearsightedness (Myopia) – distant objects look blurry
- Farsightedness (Hyperopia) – close objects look blurry
- Astigmatism – vision is distorted or stretched due to uneven curvature
Spectacles or contact lenses help by adjusting how the light enters your eye. But they don’t fix the underlying issue: the cornea’s shape.
How LASIK Surgery Works
LASIK is a gentle, precise procedure that uses advanced laser technology to naturally reshape your cornea and correct your vision. During the comfortable 15-minute treatment, you’ll lie back while our skilled surgeon uses a specialised laser to make tiny, precise adjustments to your eye’s natural curve.
The laser works by gently removing microscopic amounts of tissue with pinpoint accuracy, allowing light to focus properly on your retina for crystal-clear vision.
The entire process is completely painless thanks to numbing drops, and most patients are amazed at how quick and comfortable the experience is. Within minutes, you’ll be able to see clearly, and by the next day, you can return to your normal activities with dramatically improved vision.
Types of LASIK Surgery
There are several techniques available today. Each one is suited for specific eye conditions and patient needs.
1. Standard LASIK
Using advanced laser precision, a thin surface layer of the cornea is carefully prepared to allow access to the underlying tissue. The laser then gently reshapes this tissue to correct your vision, after which the surface layer is restored to its original position seamlessly. STANDARD LASIK is the Traditional ablation pattern that treats solely based upon the patient’s glasses prescription, with fixed treatment parameters for each patient. This type of treatment does not differentiate between the eyes of different patients and does not correct aberrations.
2. Contoura Lasik
CONTOURA laser vision correction procedure is the most advanced treatment available.
About Visual and Corneal Aberrations
Several types of Visual and Corneal imperfections, referred to as Aberrations, exist within the eye. These aberrations are specific to the individual eye and can affect vision quality, contrast sensitivity, and night vision. CONTOURA VISION corrects them all.
CONTOURA LASIK, also referred to as ADVANCED TOPOGRAPHY GUIDED LASIK, in addition to treating a patient’s basic refractive error, it also treats Visual imperfections in a patient’s eye. In CONTOURA LASIK, special Computer guided Corneal mapping (Topography analysis) is performed prior to surgery to identify Microscopic Contours (Corneal irregularities) in the patient’s optical system, and treatment will be based on the Corneal map generated.
Here, the Corneal Map is generated at 22,000 points, and Iris Registration is performed, which is unique for each eye. This helps plan LASIK treatment for individual eyes by addressing corneal irregularities and providing the sharpest and highest quality of vision. This is the Fastest treatment, most precise, with a Fast recovery.
This procedure may result in your Vision being clearer and sharper than ever before, and is considered the best and high-quality vision compared to other LASIK treatments. Contoura Vision takes LASIK surgery to a new level.
3. Bladeless/ Touchless/ Flapless LASIK (TransPRK or Streamlight LASIK)
The laser works directly on the surface of the cornea, making it suitable for patients with thin corneas or surface irregularities. Healing may take a few days longer, but it avoids the risks associated with flaps. This advanced technique utilises the state-of-the-art Alcon Wavelight 500 laser system to gently reshape the cornea without the use of any surgical instruments.
The entire procedure is performed using only precise laser technology, which naturally removes microscopic layers of tissue to correct your vision. This modern approach offers enhanced comfort, faster healing, and reduced risk compared to traditional methods.
The Wavelight 500’s advanced tracking system ensures perfect precision throughout the treatment, giving you peace of mind and exceptional results.
What Is Contoura?
Contoura is not a surgical method but a customisation technology.
It utilises topography-guided mapping (over 22,000 data points) and creates 3D images of your cornea. This allows the laser to correct:
- Your spectacle number
- Tiny irregularities on your corneal surface (which standard LASIK doesn’t treat)
So, Contoura tells the laser what to do, but it still needs a surgical platform to do it.
Contoura LASIK Surgery in Navi Mumbai – What Makes It Different?
Contoura LASIK is the most advanced and personalised form of LASIK available today. It takes everything we know about vision correction and customises it specifically for your eyes.
Unlike standard LASIK, which is based only on your glasses prescription, Contoura LASIK surgery in Navi Mumbai uses topography-guided laser correction. This means a 3D scan of your eye is done, mapping over 22,000 individual data points from your cornea. The laser then reshapes your eye, not just based on your number, but also on your unique corneal irregularities.
This technology allows for:
- Sharper, more natural vision
- Better contrast and clarity, especially in low light
- Reduced problems like glare, halos, and night-driving issues
- Higher chances of achieving better than 6/6 vision (called “super vision”)
Contoura LASIK is approved by the US FDA and is recognised for delivering outcomes that surpass basic spectacle removal. It’s about improving the quality of vision, not just clarity.
Contoura is an advanced mapping + correction technology.
Can Contoura LASIK Be Combined with Other Laser Techniques?
Yes, it can be used with all other LASIK techniques except SMILE.
Is Contoura LASIK Right for You?
Contoura LASIK may be the preferred option if:
- Your eye power has been stable for at least one year
- You have healthy eyes with no infections or major corneal thinning.
- You have complaints like glare or night vision issues, even with glasses.
- You are looking for the most precise, customised vision correction available.
A detailed eye scan and consultation are required to determine your eligibility.
Is There Any Difference Between Bladeless Touchless LASIK and Normal LASIK Surgery?
You can achieve a clear vision from blurry vision in just 15 minutes with LASIK surgery in Navi Mumbai.
Now, it’s even better- the Bladeless Touchless LASIK surgery.
Bladeless Touchless LASIK surgery in Navi Mumbai, also known as all-laser or TransPRK LASIK, utilises a special type of Streamlight laser in the Alcon Wavelight 500 machine to treat the cornea without touching or creating a corneal flap, thereby enhancing precision and reducing complications. Traditional LASIK uses a microkeratome or femtosecond laser to create the flap, which can lead to flap-related issues.
Bladeless Touchless LASIK generally offers the highest safety, better healing even in thin corneas, and potentially better visual outcomes.
Both procedures use an excimer laser to reshape the cornea for vision correction.
Benefit of Contoura LASIK
- Quick procedure (about 15 minutes)
- Little to no pain during surgery
- Most patients return to work in 1–2 days.
- Long-term freedom from glasses or lenses
- High safety with FDA-approved technology
- Contoura LASIK offers:
- Sharper vision than standard LASIK
- Better night vision
- Less glare and halos
- Better results in people with irregular corneas
Recovery After LASIK Surgery
- Most patients experience clear vision within 24 to 48 hours.
- Mild irritation or dryness for a few days
- Avoid eye rubbing, swimming, or makeup for 1 week.
How Long Do the Results of LASIK Surgery Last?
For most of the patients, the results of LASIK or Contoura LASIK are long-lasting and often permanent, especially if:
- Your eye number was stable before surgery
- You follow all post-operative care.
- You do not have any underlying eye diseases.
After the age of 40, you may still require reading glasses due to a natural age-related condition called presbyopia. This is unrelated to LASIK and affects everyone.
Are There Any Risks of LASIK Surgery?
LASIK is very safe when done by an experienced surgeon. However, like any medical procedure, there are some risks:
- Dry eyes (usually temporary)
- Glare or halos at night (less common with Contoura LASIK)
- Undercorrection or overcorrection (can be corrected with enhancement)
- Rare risk of infection or corneal complications
With 25 years of experience, Dr. Rajesh Kapoor’s expertise helps ensure minimal complications.
