Refractive surgery improves vision affected by refractive errors such as myopia (short-sightedness), hypermetropia (long-sightedness) and astigmatism. It works by reshaping the cornea to change its focusing power; the most common techniques use a laser to adjust the curvature of the cornea.
Who is suitable?
- Adults who wish to reduce their dependence on glasses or contact lenses
- People with a stable refractive error
- People without other significant eye disease
- A complete eye examination is essential; your surgeon will recommend the procedure best suited to your eyes
Refractive surgery at NECL
NECL uses the Alcon WaveLight FS200 femtosecond laser together with the EX500 excimer laser and Topolyzer for topography-guided treatment and precise central ablation. The FS200 was the first system of its kind in Lahore.
We treat a wide range of refractive errors and corneal irregularities, including keratoconus, astigmatic keratotomy, lamellar corneal transplants and presbyopic treatment, with a dedicated floor for cornea and refractive surgery.
