Precision vision, personalized care.

Dr. Ashish Singh brings training from UT Southwestern Medical Center and years of refractive surgery experience to every treatment he performs, using technology trusted by surgeons worldwide.

Here, vision correction is a meticulously planned procedure, tailored to your eyes and guided by the same surgeon and team from your first visit until you are satisfied with your outcome.

What Is LASIK?

LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) is an outpatient procedure that corrects refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism by precisely reshaping the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye.

Refractive errors occur when the eye’s shape prevents light from focusing properly on the retina, leading to blurred and distorted images. By reshaping the cornea, LASIK corrects your eye’s focus at the source, so clear vision no longer depends on glasses or contacts.

The procedure itself is comfortable and quick:

A femtosecond laser creates a thin, protective flap in the outer layer of the cornea
The flap is gently lifted, and an excimer laser reshapes the underlying corneal tissue according to a treatment plan customized to your eyes.
The flap is then repositioned, where it begins healing immediately without stitches.

Most patients are in and out of the laser suite in 15-20 minutes, and many notice clearer vision by the very next morning.

Am I a Candidate for LASIK?

Good candidates for LASIK are typically adults 18 and older with a stable glasses or contact lens prescription, healthy corneas, and no significant eye disease. Candidacy also depends on factors such as corneal thickness, pupil size, tear film quality, and your overall eye and systemic health.

Determining whether LASIK is right for you starts with a comprehensive evaluation. Dr. Singh performs detailed corneal imaging and diagnostic testing, reviews your ocular and medical history, and takes time to understand how you use your vision every day, whether you spend hours at a computer, compete in athletics, or simply want to wake up and see clearly.

If LASIK is not the best fit for your eyes, he will discuss alternative vision correction options that may serve you better.

Advanced Technology

The Alcon WaveLight Refractive Suite

Dr. Singh performs LASIK using the Alcon WaveLight Refractive Suite, a fully integrated laser platform trusted by refractive surgeons worldwide. The suite pairs two complementary lasers:

The WaveLight FS200 Femtosecond Laser creates the corneal flap with exceptional speed and precision. This all-laser, blade-free approach allows the flap’s depth, diameter, and architecture to be customized to each individual eye, supporting both safety and predictability.

The WaveLight EX500 Excimer Laser then reshapes the cornea using Wavefront Optimized (WFO) treatment profiles. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all correction, Wavefront Optimized technology preserves the cornea’s natural curvature as it corrects your prescription. This technology is designed to maintain crisp visual quality and reduce the severity of nighttime visual disturbances such as halos and rings around lights.

Together, these technologies allow Dr. Singh to deliver treatments that are fast, precise, and tailored to the unique characteristics of each eye.

What to Expect on Procedure Day

LASIK at Singh Eye is performed at an established surgical facility fully equipped with the WaveLight Refractive Suite. The entire visit typically takes about two hours, though the laser treatment itself lasts only minutes.

Before Your Procedure

When you arrive, the surgical team will review your treatment plan and answer any remaining questions. Numbing eye drops are applied to keep you comfortable, and no needles or injections are involved. You may also be offered a mild oral medication to help you relax.

During Your Procedure

You will be awake and reclined comfortably while Dr. Singh performs your treatment, walking you through each step. Then, the lasers reshape your cornea. Most patients are surprised by how quickly it goes. The laser treatment takes only seconds per eye, and both eyes are typically completed in under 15-20 minutes.

After Your Procedure

You will rest briefly while Dr. Singh checks your eyes, then head home with a friend or family member, as you will not be able to drive yourself. Plan to rest your eyes for the remainder of the day. Mild scratchiness, burning, watering, and/or light sensitivity is common for the 6-8 hours and typically resolves by the next morning, when many patients wake up to noticeably clearer vision.

What is Recovery Like After LASIK?

One of the advantages of LASIK is how quickly most patients return to normal life. Many people are back at work within a day or two. To protect your healing eyes, Dr. Singh asks patients to follow some important guidelines during the first week, such as keeping water out of their eyes and holding off on intense exercise for one week.

You will also use prescribed eye drops to support healing and comfort, and Dr. Singh will monitor your progress. While vision is often impressively clear within 24 hours, it continues to sharpen and stabilize over the following weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions About LASIK

No. Numbing eye drops keep you comfortable throughout the procedure, and no needles or injections are involved. Most patients feel only mild pressure and greying out of vision for a few seconds during LASIK flap creation. Some scratchiness or irritation in the first few hours afterward is normal and typically fades by the next morning.

LASIK permanently reshapes the cornea, so the correction itself does not wear off. However, your eyes will still change naturally with age. Most adults develop presbyopia (the need for reading glasses) in their late 40s or early 50s, but the vast majority enjoy clear distance vision for decades after their procedure.

You don’t need to worry about holding perfectly still. A small device gently keeps your eyelids open, and the WaveLight EX500 laser uses high-speed eye tracking that follows even the smallest eye movements, pausing automatically if your eye moves outside the treatment range.
