Ideal candidates are adults with stable vision, healthy corneas, and no severe eye conditions like glaucoma or cataracts. A detailed consultation with Dr. Jeevan Ladi will determine suitability.
How long does LASIK surgery take?
The procedure usually takes 10–15 minutes per eye, with most patients experiencing a quick, painless recovery.
Is LASIK safe?
LASIK is highly safe and effective when performed by experienced surgeons like Dr. Jeevan Ladi, using advanced laser technology. Side effects are minimal and temporary in most cases.

Many patients achieve 20/20 vision or better. Some may still need glasses for certain tasks like reading or night driving.
How long do LASIK results last?
