Comprehensive Clinical & Surgical Guide

Femto-LASIK & SMILE Pro Laser Eye Surgery Surgical Procedure & Recovery Guide

Complete surgical methodology, technique comparison, and aftercare recovery protocol prepared by One Clinic medical board.

What is Eye Laser Surgery (LASIK)?

LASIK is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a precise laser beam to reshape the cornea, correcting refractive errors. This allows light to focus more accurately on the retina, resulting in clearer vision. The procedure is quick, virtually painless, and offers long-term benefits for those looking to reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses or contact lenses.

Who can undergo laser eye surgery?

LASIK at ONE CLINIC is suitable for individuals who meet the following criteria:

Age 18 and olderCandidates must have a stable prescription for at least one year, as vision can change during adolescence; therefore, the eyes should be fully matured.
Good ocular healthIdeal candidates should not have significant eye conditions such as cataract, glaucoma, or severe dry eye. A comprehensive eye examination at ONE CLINIC will determine your suitability.
Stable PrescriptionIndividuals who have maintained a stable vision prescription for at least 12 months are good candidates. If your vision is still changing, it is best to wait until it stabilizes before considering surgery.
Pregnancy StatusPregnant women or those who are breastfeeding should undergo LASIK surgery only after completing breastfeeding and once their hormone levels have returned to normal.

Benefits of Eye Laser Surgery

LASIK is one of the most popular vision correction procedures due to its numerous advantages:

Rapid Vision ImprovementMost patients experience an improvement in vision immediately after the procedure and achieve noticeable results within the first 24 hours.
No More Glasses or Contact LensesSay goodbye to the hassle of wearing glasses or contact lenses. LASIK offers a long‑term solution to vision problems, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or lenses.
Fast Recovery TimeThe recovery process is swift, and most patients return to their normal activities, including work, within one or two days after the procedure.
Long‑Term ResultsLASIK outcomes are generally permanent, and although aging and the associated need for reading glasses may affect vision over time, the correction achieved by LASIK remains stable for most people.
Safe and ProvenLASIK is a well‑researched and reliable procedure that has helped millions of people worldwide achieve better vision.

Pre‑Laser Eye Surgery – Pre‑Operative Instructions

Preparation for LASIK surgery at ONE CLINIC is crucial for achieving a successful outcome. The following steps should be taken before the procedure:

Before the surgery, you will undergo a comprehensive eye examination at ONE CLINIC. This exam will assess your ocular health and determine whether you are a suitable candidate for LASIK.

Contact lenses can alter the shape of your cornea, so you must discontinue soft lens use at least two weeks before surgery. If you wear rigid lenses, you may need to stop using them four weeks prior.

On the day of surgery, avoid using eye makeup, lotions, creams, or perfume. These products can carry bacteria to the skin and interfere with the laser procedure.

You will not be able to drive immediately after the procedure, so please arrange for someone to take you home. Your vision may remain blurry for several hours.

Prior to surgery, ensure you get a good night's sleep and drink plenty of water. This may help accelerate your recovery process.

Comprehensive Eye Examination
Discontinue Contact Lens Use
Avoid Makeup or Creams
Arrange Transportation
Rest and Stay Hydrated

Post-Laser Eye Surgery – Post-Operative Care

Post-operative care is essential for an uneventful recovery and optimal outcomes. Follow these instructions after LASIK surgery:

Avoid direct sunlight for at least one month after the procedure and wear protective sunglasses outdoors. Exposure to UV rays can affect the healing process and lead to complications.

Your doctor will prescribe eye drops to prevent infections and reduce inflammation. Use them as directed and avoid rubbing your eyes, as this can cause the healing corneal flap to become dislodged.

Limit screen use (phone, computer, and television) for the first few days, as focusing on screens can strain your eyes.

After surgery, avoid pools, jacuzzis, and environments where your eyes come into contact with water for at least two weeks to reduce the risk of infection.

Follow-up appointments at ONE CLINIC are important to monitor your recovery and ensure your eyes heal properly. Attend all appointments and inform your doctor if you experience any abnormal symptoms (such as persistent discomfort or visual problems).

Use the Eye Drops Prescribed by Your Doctor
Limit Screen Time

Sun Protection After LASIK

You may go outside after LASIK, but it is crucial to protect your eyes from direct sunlight:

Wear UV-Protective SunglassesFor the first month after surgery, always wear UV-protective sunglasses when you are outdoors to shield your eyes from harmful UV rays.
Avoid Prolonged ExposureTry to limit your time in direct sunlight during peak hours (typically between 10 AM and 4 PM), as excessive sun exposure during the healing process can increase the risk of complications.

How Long Does Eye Laser Surgery Take?

LASIK surgery is a quick procedure:

Surgery DurationThe actual laser correction typically takes only 10–15 minutes per eye. The entire process, including preparation, is completed in approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Recovery TimeMost patients notice a significant improvement in vision within 24 hours after the procedure, and many can return to work the following day. However, it is important to allow your eyes at least 24–48 hours of rest after the procedure.
