  4. In recent years, LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) and refractive surgery have gained immense popularity for their ability to improve vision and reduce the need for glasses or contact lenses. These advanced procedures offer a safe, effective, and relatively quick solution to vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

LASEK (Laser-Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratomileusis): A PRK variant using a thinner corneal flap, ideal for those with thin corneas. SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction): Uses a small incision to remove a tiny corneal tissue to correct vision. Implantable Contact Lenses (ICL): An implanted lens inside the eye, perfect for those not eligible for LASIK.
