What is Refractive Surgery?

Eye Checkup

Advanced Vision Correction at SGLEH

Refractive surgery reshapes or corrects the eye's focusing ability so that light properly focuses on the retina, allowing clearer vision without glasses.

Our hospital provides comprehensive evaluation and customised treatment plans to determine the most suitable procedure for each patient.

Refractive Procedures Available

  • LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) – A widely performed laser vision correction procedure that reshapes the cornea to improve focus and vision.
  • PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) – A surface laser procedure suitable for patients with thinner corneas or specific corneal conditions.
  • ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) – A specialised procedure where a biocompatible lens is implanted inside the eye for patients who may not be ideal candidates for laser surgery.

Conditions Corrected by Refractive Surgery

  • Myopia (near-sightedness)
  • Hyperopia (far-sightedness)
  • Astigmatism
  • High refractive errors not suitable for glasses alone
