Laser Vision Correction & LASIK
Assessment of refractive errors and selection of LASIK, Femto-LASIK or SMILE according to individual eye measurements.
What is laser vision correction?
Laser vision correction includes procedures designed to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses in selected cases of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Suitability depends on corneal measurements, stability of refraction and overall eye health.
LASIK, Femto-LASIK and SMILE
These techniques differ in how the cornea is accessed and reshaped. The appropriate option is selected after examination rather than by technique name alone.
Pre-procedure assessment
Assessment may include refraction, corneal examination and mapping, dry-eye evaluation, intraocular pressure and retinal examination when indicated.
Follow-up
Aftercare varies by technique. Patients should follow prescribed drops and review instructions, and seek urgent medical attention for severe pain or sudden visual deterioration.
Why a precise examination matters
Similar visual symptoms can have different causes. Blurred vision may relate to refraction, dry eye, cataract, corneal disease or retinal change. Treatment decisions therefore should not be based on symptoms alone. Examination and appropriate measurements help determine whether the problem requires observation, medication, a procedure or surgery.
Before making a treatment decision
Patients should understand the goal of treatment, alternatives, important limitations, expected recovery and follow-up. Medical conditions, medications and previous eye procedures may affect the choice and timing of treatment. There is no single outcome that applies to every patient.
Follow-up
Follow-up helps assess stability and response to treatment. Severe pain, sudden visual deterioration, increasing redness or new concerning symptoms require prompt medical review. Patients should use prescribed medication as directed and avoid self-medicating the eye.
Preparing for your visit
Bring current glasses, previous reports or scans when available, a medication list and a short history of when symptoms began. These details help guide the assessment and any required testing.
Booking and communication
You can book at one of Dr. Michael Onsy’s clinic branches and state the reason for your visit when arranging the appointment. The website also includes dedicated pages on refractive surgery, cataract, glaucoma, retina care and comprehensive eye examination.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is LASIK suitable for every refractive error?+
No. Suitability depends on refraction, stability, corneal measurements and overall eye health, so complete assessment is required.
What is the difference between LASIK, Femto-LASIK and SMILE?+
They differ in how the cornea is accessed and reshaped. The appropriate technique is selected after examination.
Will I definitely stop using glasses?+
The goal is to reduce dependence on glasses in suitable patients, but outcomes vary and complete independence cannot be guaranteed before assessment.
