Laser Vision Correction
Custom Bladeless LASIK
Say goodbye to glasses and contacts. Our 100% laser LASIK procedure adapts to the unique anatomy of your eye for clear vision, by the very next day.
What is a Bladeless Laser Surgery for Vision Correction?
Unlike standard LASIK, which uses a microkeratome (a bladed instrument) to create an incision in the cornea, custom bladeless LASIK uses a 100% laser technique thanks to the femtosecond laser. This method reduces the risk of complications and offers better accuracy and increased safety.
After the flap is cut from the cornea, both techniques use an excimer laser to reshape the cornea to correct vision.
One of the advantages of all-laser LASIK is that it allows for a smaller flap incision, which makes it more suitable for people with thinner corneas. Standard LASIK is used in people who have average sized corneas and pupils.
The custom aspect of our laser surgery is possible with topography technology that allows your eye doctor to take precise measurements that will allow them to shape the surgery to your image. Thus, you will benefit from an optimal vision correction.

Frequently Asked Questions About LASIK
Am I a good candidate for laser vision correction?
Most individuals aged 18 and older suffering from nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism are good candidates. Your eligibility depends on several factors, including the stability of your prescription for at least one year, your corneal thickness, and your overall eye health. A comprehensive exam with a professional is essential to confirm if the procedure is right for you.
Is the procedure painful?
The procedure is generally painless. Before starting, numbing eye drops are applied to desensitize the eye. You may feel a slight pressure for a few seconds, but most patients report no significant pain. Once the anesthesia wears off, a gritty sensation or mild discomfort may be present for a few hours.
How long does the procedure take?
The procedure is very fast. It typically lasts less than 10 minutes for both eyes. The laser itself is only active for a few seconds (often less than a minute) per eye.
How quickly will I recover my vision?
Most patients notice a significant improvement in their vision as early as the next day. While you can resume most of your normal activities (work, driving) within 24 to 48 hours, your vision will continue to stabilize over the following weeks.
Are the results permanent?
Yes, laser correction permanently reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors. However, the laser cannot prevent the eye’s natural aging process, such as presbyopia (the need for reading glasses after age 40-45) or the development of cataracts later in life.
What are the potential risks and side effects?
Like any surgery, laser vision correction carries risks, though they are rare. The most common temporary side effects include dry eyes, glare, or halos around lights at night. These symptoms usually fade during the healing period. Serious complications affecting vision are extremely rare.
Will I still need to wear reading glasses?
Laser surgery corrects distance vision. If you are over 40, you may eventually need reading glasses due to presbyopia, a natural age-related loss of flexibility in the lens. However, there are correction techniques (such as monovision) that can reduce this dependency.
Can I have both eyes operated on the same day?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases, both eyes are treated during the same session. This allows for simultaneous recovery and a faster return to daily life.
How much time should I plan for recovery?
It is recommended to rest on the day of the procedure. Most people return to work the next day or the day after. However, you should avoid contact sports, swimming, and eye makeup for one to two weeks, depending on your surgeon’s recommendations.
What happens if I blink or move during the procedure?
Do not worry: a small instrument is used to gently keep your eyelids open. Furthermore, modern lasers are equipped with an ultra-fast eye-tracking system that follows your eye’s movements and stops instantaneously if you move too much, ensuring total precision.
