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.
LASIK is a laser vision correction procedure that reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors and improve visual clarity.
· Best for myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism
· Minimal discomfort, next-day return to work
· Long track record — over 30 years of outcomes

'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.
