LASIK Education Website


LASIK Surgery Singapore is a non-profit website that was recently setup to educate the public about LASIK, a popular refractive surgery for astigmatism, myopia and hyperopia. Basically, people who undergo the surgery do it with the hope of being able to ditch their spectacles and contact lenses.

The website begins with a detailed explanation of the LASIK procedure, including what to expect during the recover period and the subsequent post-operative reviews with the opthalmologist. There is a step-by-step video animation to illustrate this.

There is also comprehensive information about the risks of LASIK, warning likely candidates about the potential of cornea scarring, visual problems like glare and the possibility of under and over-correction.

The LASIK cost comparison table is particularly useful to get a quick comparison about the charges by different clinics and for the different types of LASIK. The website also features a directory, listing LASIK surgeons in Singapore for the readers convenience.
