About Customised LASIK
What is Customised LASIK?
Customised LASIK is an advanced procedure that helps you see perfectly without glasses or contact lenses. It utilises “wavefront” technology to measure the eye from front to back, creating a 3-D image. This detailed map guides the laser in customising the treatment to your unique visual system.
When / Why do I need it
Why should I get Customised LASIK?
If you have high aberrations and see halos or glares around lights at night, Custom LASIK might be the answer for you. It corrects those tiny imperfections in your eye’s optical system, the ones responsible for visual disturbances.

How our experts perform Customised LASIK surgery
During laser eye surgery, we first numb your eyes with special drops so you won’t feel any discomfort. Then, we use either a microkeratome or a femtosecond laser to make a thin flap on the surface of your cornea. This flap allows us to access the cornea for reshaping. Once that’s done, we use a wavefront-optimised laser to adjust your cornea’s power, giving you clearer vision. It’s like customising your eye treatment to suit your unique needs, ensuring you get the best results possible!
FAQs
Customised LASIK is an advanced form of laser vision correction that uses wavefront technology to create a personalized treatment map of your eye, helping correct vision more precisely than traditional LASIK.
Unlike traditional LASIK which uses a standard correction pattern, Customised LASIK analyzes your unique eye measurements to target even subtle imperfections, often resulting in clearer vision and fewer higher-order aberrations.
Good candidates are adults with stable vision, healthy corneas, and no significant eye diseases. A detailed pre-surgery eye exam will determine if Customised LASIK is suitable for you.
The procedure itself typically takes only about 10–15 minutes per eye, and most patients can return home on the same day.
No. Customised LASIK is usually painless because numbing eye drops are used before the procedure. Some patients might feel mild pressure, but discomfort is minimal.
Many patients notice improved vision within 24 hours, with full stabilization of vision occurring over a few weeks as the eyes heal.
Customised LASIK provides more personalized correction, potentially better visual outcomes, reduced glare and halos at night, and higher patient satisfaction compared to conventional LASIK.
Yes, Customised LASIK can correct myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism depending on your individual eye profile and the surgeon’s recommendation.
Many patients experience significant reduction in their dependence on glasses or contact lenses. However, some may still need glasses for certain activities like reading or as they age.
