What Is LASIK Eye Surgery?

LASIK, short for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to correct refractive vision problems. During LASIK, an ophthalmologist uses a precise laser to reshape the cornea, the transparent front part of the eye. This reshaping allows light to properly focus on the retina, thus improving vision.

Who Should Consider LASIK Eye Surgery?

The ideal candidates for LASIK are typically those who:

• • Have stable refractive errors as LASIK is most effective for individuals whose vision prescription has remained stable for at least a year. 

• • Are 18 years of age or above.

• • Have no eye conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, or severe eye syndrome.

Before considering LASIK, patients should consult with an experienced eye surgeon to determine their eligibility and discuss the best options for their individual needs.

Is LASIK Safe For Everyone?

While LASIK is a widely performed procedure, it may not be suitable or safe for everyone; it also entails certain side effects and risks. That is why several tests should be performed before undergoing a LASIK eye surgery procedure.

How Much Does LASIK Eye Surgery Cost In Singapore?

LASIK eye surgery ranges from S$3,000 to S$5,400 in Singapore, depending on the clinic and procedure done. Easily compare LASIK costs among our listed clinics in Singapore through the cost comparison table below.
