Lasik eye surgery in Tunis
Lasik is the most widely used corneal refractive surgery technique for correcting the vision of myopes, hypermetropes, astigmatism and presbyopia using a laser. Followed by PRK, it is one of the most common refractive surgery procedures worldwide. Since 1999, more than 30 million Lasik procedures have been carried out worldwide, offering one of the highest satisfaction rates among so-called “comfort” surgeries. Lasik is a reliable technique that delivers excellent visual results, enabling patients to do without glasses or contact lenses.

How does the lasik technique work ?
Lasik : The 3-step procedure
Lasik is performed under local anesthesia (anesthetic drops). This refractive surgery procedure concerns only the cornea and can correct a wide range of myopias, hyperopias, and astigmatisms. Lasik comprises 3 key stages:
- ●The first stage involves creating a superficial flap on the surface of the cornea.
- ●The flap is lifted to expose the stroma, which is reshaped by the Excimer laser.
- ●The flap is then repositioned to cover the treated area.
Cutting the flap
Cutting the flap is a specific feature of Lasik, performed mainly with the femtosecond laser. No intraocular manipulation or implants are placed during the procedure. Among refractive surgery techniques, Lasik and PRK require the least direct manual intervention.
The advantages of the lasik technique for eye correction
No pain
Lasik avoids post-operative pain by bypassing ulcers and repositioning the corneal flap.
Rapid recovery
Visual rehabilitation after Lasik is faster, enabling patients to return quickly to their daily activities.
Better correction
Lasik offers precise correction of ametropias such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, with stable results.
Touch-up possible
In the event of residual ametropia, Lasik can be retouched by simply lifting the cover, ensuring optimal correction.
Sutureless technique
The corneal cap spontaneously re-adheres to the stroma without the need for sutures, reducing the risk of post-operative discomfort.
