Treatment and Procedures
On the day of your Eye Surgery, you will arrive at our modern clinical facility at Liv Hospital. The environment is designed to be calm and professional. After checking in, you will be prepared for the procedure, which involves cleaning the area around your eyes and applying powerful numbing drops. Most patients are given a mild sedative to help them stay relaxed. You will be awake and able to follow simple instructions from the surgeon, but you will not feel any pain. The efficiency of modern procedures means that most patients spend less than two hours at the clinic from start to finish.
During lasik eye surgery, you will lie back in a comfortable surgical chair.
The surgeon will talk to you throughout the process, providing reassurance. Most patients are amazed at how quickly the procedure is over and notice an immediate improvement in their vision before even leaving the room.
Smile eye surgery is often chosen for its minimally invasive nature. In this procedure, only one laser is used. It passes through the surface of the cornea without cutting it, creating a thin layer of tissue inside. The surgeon then removes this layer through a tiny microscopic opening.
Because there is no flap, there is no risk of flap displacement, and the recovery of the eye surface is exceptionally fast. This procedure represents the cutting edge of refractive technology, offering a “one-step” solution to vision correction.
While LASIK and SMILE are popular, other types of laser eye surgery like PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) are used for patients with specific anatomical needs.
Although the initial healing takes a few days longer, the final visual result is just as excellent. Our specialists ensure that the chosen method is the safest one for your specific corneal thickness and lifestyle.
For patients undergoing lazy eye surgery, the procedure takes place in a sterile operating room. The surgeon makes a small incision in the conjunctiva, the clear tissue covering the white of the eye, to reach the eye muscles.
The eyes are then checked for alignment. For many, this surgery not only improves the cosmetic appearance of “crossed eyes” but also helps the brain learn to use both eyes together, improving depth perception and reducing eye strain.
Cataract surgery is one of the most frequently performed medical procedures worldwide. The surgeon removes the cloudy natural lens using ultrasonic energy to break it up into tiny pieces.
Once the eye is cleared, a clear artificial lens, called an intraocular lens (IOL), is inserted.
This “lens replacement” is permanent and provides a lifetime of clear vision, as cataracts cannot grow back on an artificial lens.
The procedures for eye color change surgery are highly specialized. One method involves the permanent insertion of a thin, medical-grade silicone iris over the natural iris. Another method uses a specialized laser to remove the brown melanin from the surface of the iris, revealing the blue or green tissue underneath. At Liv Hospital, we prioritize medical safety above all else. These cosmetic procedures are preceded by intense screening to ensure the health of the eye’s drainage system and to minimize any risk of long-term inflammation.
When patients research laser eye surgery, it is important to focus on long term value rather than short term considerations. High quality refractive procedures involve advanced technology, experienced surgeons, and structured follow up care designed to protect and enhance visual outcomes.
When comparing surgical correction with years of dependence on glasses and contact lenses, many people view laser vision treatment as a practical and lasting solution. The right approach depends on your eye health, lifestyle, and expectations. For personalized guidance and detailed information about comprehensive treatment options, we encourage you to contact Liv Hospital and schedule a professional evaluation.
Safety in Eye Surgery is maintained through strict international protocols.
