Singapore
LASIK Guide

LASIK (stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular surgical procedure in Singapore to treat near-sightedness, far-sightedness and astigmatism.

It has several advantages over PRK, Epi-LASIK, LASEK and other types of refractive surgery - LASIK is painless, there is no corneal haze problem and recovery is faster.

With LASIK, patients are able to reduce, and in most cases, eliminate the need for contact lenses or glasses.

The purpose of this website is to familiarize our readers about the LASIK procedure, the risks involved and the typical costs of LASIK in Singapore.

You can also find a list of local LASIK surgeons/clinics on our website.
