LASIK is one of the most popular and effective treatments for correcting vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. At Al Shifa Eye Clinic Islamabad, we offer modern, safe, and highly accurate LASIK procedures designed to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses and contact lenses. Our goal is to help every patient clearly understand how LASIK works and make confident decisions about their eye health.

All information is written in simple, easy-to-understand language so patients and families can feel informed and comfortable.
What is Lasik
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis) is a laser eye surgery that reshapes the cornea so light can focus properly on the retina. This improves vision and reduces the need for glasses.

Types of Lasik Surgery
At Al Shifa Eye Clinic, we offer multiple options for Eye Cataract Surgery, ensuring that every patient receives the treatment best suited for their eye condition and lifestyle. Our surgeons specialize in Standard Cataract Surgery, Laser Cataract Surgery, and Femto Cataract Surgery. Each method has its own benefits, but all are designed to safely remove the cloudy lens and replace it with a clear one. With modern technology and a patient-centered approach, we aim to provide accurate results, faster healing, and long-lasting vision clarity.
Femto Lasik
FemtoLASIK is a bladeless, two-step laser eye surgery that corrects vision by reshaping the cornea to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It is considered more precise and safer than traditional LASIK because it uses a femtosecond laser instead of a mechanical blade to create the corneal flap.
Benefits of FemtoLASIK
- Enhanced Precision and Safety: The use of a femtosecond laser allows for a more accurate and uniform flap creation, reducing the risk of complications associated with the mechanical blade used in traditional LASIK.
- Suitable for more patients: The greater precision of the femtosecond laser means that patients with thinner corneas or higher prescriptions may be eligible for FemtoLASIK, even if they were not candidates for traditional LASIK.
- Fast Recovery: Most patients experience improved vision within 24 to 48 hours and can return to most normal activities within a few days.
- Reduced Complications: The bladeless nature of the procedure lowers the risk of issues like irregular flaps or flap dislocation.
- Customizable Treatment: Surgeons can tailor the procedure to each patient's unique eye anatomy, which can lead to better visual results
