• No injection, stitch or patch are needed
• Both eye are done in the same sitting
• No other eye disease apart from Spects
• It takes hardly 15 minutes for both eyes.

It has manily 3 steps.

• Creartion of flap - It is done by using either a automated microkeratome or by Femtosecond laser. (Bladeless LASIK). Once the flap is made , it is lifted & folded exposing the strmal bed.
• Doing the Excimer laser ablation- Pt is asked to look at the fixation light. With the latest Amaris 500 it takes only 5-30 seconds & is over in no time
• Reposition of the flap- Stromal bed is thoroughly irrigated & any debris is washed away & flap is put back in place. A bandage contact lens is applied for a day.

Doctor will advice you to put some drops in your eyes & vision will be tested without glasses after 30 minutes. Most of the patients see quite well.
