Refractive surgery is a group of advanced eye procedures designed to correct common vision problems such as myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (long-sightedness), astigmatism and selected presbyopia cases by reshaping or modifying the eye’s focusing system.

At YAS Eye Clinic, every patient undergoes a detailed eye assessment and corneal evaluation before surgery to determine the most suitable treatment option.

  • · Long track record — over 30 years of outcomes

PRK Laser Eye Surgery

PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is an advanced laser procedure suitable for selected patients, including some patients who may not be candidates for traditional LASIK.

A Phakic ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) is a tiny corrective lens implanted inside the Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery is an alternative vision correction option for selected patients with high prescriptions or specific corneal conditions.

'Common Questions'

'Frequently Asked Questions'

  • Am I a candidate for refractive surgery?

    Most adults over 18 with a stable prescription for at least 12 months, healthy corneas, and adequate tear film are good candidates. Booking a refractive assessment at YAS Eye Clinic confirms whether LASIK, PRK, or ICL is the right path for you.

  • Which is best — LASIK, PRK, or Phakic ICL?

    It depends on your corneal thickness, prescription, age, and lifestyle. LASIK suits the majority; PRK is safer for thin corneas; Phakic ICL is ideal for high prescriptions or corneas that cannot be safely lasered.

  • Does refractive surgery hurt?

    No — numbing drops keep the eye comfortable during the laser portion. You may feel mild pressure during the LASIK flap creation, and a scratchy sensation for a few days with PRK.

  • How long is the recovery?

    LASIK patients usually see clearly within 24 hours and return to work in 1–2 days. PRK takes 3–5 days for functional vision, with full stabilisation by 1–2 weeks. ICL recovery is similar to LASIK.

  • Will I still need glasses afterwards?

    Most patients reach 20/20 or better for distance. Patients over 40 may still choose reading glasses for fine print; premium monovision options can be discussed at your consultation.
