Refractive surgery is a modern eye procedure designed to correct vision problems such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses. Popular methods include LASIK, PRK, and SMILE, which reshape the cornea to improve how light is focused on the retina. The choice of procedure depends on factors like corneal thickness, eye health, and lifestyle needs. At Dr. Praveen Eye Hospital and Research Centre, we use advanced laser technology and precise diagnostic tools to offer safe, effective, and personalized refractive surgery options, helping patients enjoy clearer vision and greater freedom in daily life.
