Refractive Surgery – Freedom from Glasses and Contact Lenses

Refractive surgery encompasses a range of advanced vision correction procedures that reshape or modify the eye’s optical system to eliminate dependence on glasses or contact lenses. It effectively treats myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, and presbyopia, helping patients experience the world with natural clarity.

 

At Clinic, every procedure is guided by precise diagnostic imaging, corneal mapping, and relevant investigations. Using state-of-the-art Femtosecond, Excimer, and implantable lens technologies, Dr. Bhargava offers tailored vision correction suited to each patient’s eye anatomy, lifestyle, and long-term goals.

ICL

Implantable collamer lens or ICL, called by its manufacturer Visian ICL, is a soft, flexible gel-lens used in refractive surgeries for the permanent correction of myopia (nearsightedness), made of a collagen copolymer material Collamer®, named by combining “collagen” and “polymer”.

LASIK

Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis is one of the surgeries that treat refractive errors of the eye. LASIK in Kolkata and the world has become an increasingly common surgery which many people opt for to treat refractive errors. This is considered to be the best Refractive Surgery procedure.

Types of Refractive Surgery Offered

A bladeless, minimally invasive laser procedure that reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors.

  • Ideal for: Myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism
  • Benefits: Quick recovery, minimal discomfort, and rapid visual improvement

A next-generation, flapless laser vision correction performed through a tiny incision using a single Femtosecond laser.

  • Ideal for: Myopia and astigmatism
  • Benefits: No flap, faster healing, more corneal stability, excellent biomechanical integrity

An advanced surface ablation laser technique, ideal for patients with thin corneas or those engaged in contact sports or defense services.

  • Ideal for: Myopia and astigmatism where corneal thickness limits LASIK
  • Benefits: No corneal flap, safer for thin corneas, highly precise results, long-term stability

A premium intraocular lens placed behind the iris and in front of the natural lens, providing high-definition clarity without altering corneal tissue.

  • Ideal for: High refractive errors, thin or irregular corneas, or patients unsuitable for LASIK/PRK
  • Benefits: Reversible, crystal-clear vision, UV protection, and superior night vision

Your Journey to Clear Vision

Your vision correction journey begins with a comprehensive refractive screening, including corneal topography, , pachymetry, and specular microscopy.

 

Based on these results, Dr. Bhargava recommends the most appropriate option — LASIK, SMILE, PRK, or ICL — ensuring optimal visual outcome, comfort, and safety.
