Looking for Painless, Advanced All-Laser LASIK? Here’s What You Should Know
The idea of laser eye surgery can sound intimidating, but with today’s technology, it’s one of the safest and most comfortable medical procedures available. Modern LASIK — especially All-Laser LASIK — has revolutionized how patients experience vision correction. At Khanna Vision Institute, Dr. Rajesh Khanna uses the latest bladeless laser systems to perform painless LASIK procedures that deliver precise, lasting results.
What Is All-Laser LASIK
Traditional LASIK surgery uses a mechanical blade called a microkeratome to create a thin flap in the cornea. In contrast, All-Laser LASIK replaces that blade with a femtosecond laser, making the process 100% blade-free and much safer. The laser creates a precise, customized flap within seconds, and another laser reshapes the cornea to correct vision.
This dual-laser approach enhances safety, accuracy, and comfort — while ensuring faster recovery.
Why All-Laser LASIK Is Painless
One of the biggest misconceptions about LASIK is that it’s painful. In truth, with the modern bladeless LASIK technology used by Dr. Khanna, the procedure is virtually pain-free. Here’s why:
- Numbing drops are used before surgery to eliminate discomfort.
- The femtosecond laser is gentle, silent, and highly controlled.
- There are no blades, so there’s no mechanical pressure or cutting.
- Recovery is smooth, with minimal dryness or irritation.
Most patients describe the sensation during surgery as mild pressure for a few seconds — not pain.
The Procedure
The entire procedure takes about 15 minutes for both eyes. After applying numbing drops, Dr. Khanna uses a femtosecond laser to create a thin, precise corneal flap. Then, an excimer laser reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.
Once the cornea is reshaped, the flap is repositioned naturally — no stitches required. Most patients notice clearer vision immediately, with full improvement within 24 hours.
Benefits of Advanced All-Laser LASIK
- Precision and Customization – The laser-guided system maps every contour of your cornea, allowing personalized correction for each eye.
- Enhanced Safety – Eliminating the blade reduces risks of uneven flaps or complications.
- Comfort and Quick Recovery – With no cutting or pressure, healing is faster and smoother.
- Lasting Results – Once your cornea stabilizes, your new vision is permanent, with only age-related changes possible later.
- Freedom from Glasses and Contacts – Most patients achieve 20/20 or better vision and enjoy life without optical aids.
Who Is a Good Candidate
All-Laser LASIK is ideal for adults over 18 who have a stable prescription and healthy eyes. You might be a candidate if you:
- Are nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism
- Want to reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses
- Have healthy corneas and no active eye disease
During your consultation, Dr. Khanna performs a detailed exam including corneal mapping, wavefront analysis, and tear film testing to determine suitability.
The Khanna Vision Institute Advantage
At Khanna Vision Institute, Dr. Rajesh Khanna combines decades of surgical experience with next-generation technology to deliver exceptional outcomes. Patients benefit from:
- The latest femtosecond and excimer laser systems
- Personalized treatment planning
- A comfortable, spa-like surgical experience
- Transparent communication and follow-up care
Dr. Khanna’s focus is not just on vision correction, but on giving patients complete confidence throughout the process.
Recovery and Aftercare
After surgery, you may experience mild dryness or light sensitivity for a few hours. Most patients return to work and daily activities the next day. Dr. Khanna recommends using prescribed eye drops and avoiding rubbing the eyes for at least a week.
Follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor healing and ensure perfect results.
Why Choose All-Laser Over Traditional LASIK
All-Laser LASIK offers greater precision, comfort, and safety compared to traditional methods. The flap thickness and shape are controlled by computer-guided lasers, minimizing human error. Additionally, patients experience fewer side effects and faster recovery.
This is why Dr. Khanna and his team exclusively perform All-Laser LASIK at Khanna Vision Institute — offering patients the best in modern refractive surgery.
