Wavefront laser eye surgery is a form of LASIK in which the laser is programmed from a detailed 3D map of how light travels through your eye, rather than from your glasses prescription alone.

The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) says that wavefront-guided LASIK sets the excimer laser using a detailed 3D measurement of the eye's optics, which can detect small irregularities that a standard prescription misses.

The AAO points out that studies show fewer side effects including night-vision issues and more people reaching 20/20 vision.

A full eye assessment decides suitability, looking at whether the prescription is stable, the thickness and shape of the cornea and general eye health, and thin or irregular corneas might need another procedure.

LASIK is done under numbing drops in a few minutes per eye, vision is commonly blurred at first and improves over a number of days, and drops are used for a number of weeks.

Flying home: aviation guidance sets no wait for laser or surface eye treatment, so you can usually travel after the first follow-up check if the surgeon agrees.

A Gurgaon quote for wavefront laser eye surgery is normally made up of these items:

• Measurements and eye scans: taken ahead of the operation.
• Lens, implant or graft: a standard or a premium choice.
• Eye surgeon's fee: which varies between centres.
• Technique: wavefront-guided or optimised.
• Assessment: scans ahead of surgery.
• Eyes treated: normally both on the same day.
• Follow-up: checks in the first months.

Confirm whether the Gurgaon estimate includes both eyes, the assessment scans, eye drops and follow-up appointments.

Haryana adopted the national Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2010 in 2018, starting with larger private hospitals, so you can ask a Gurgaon hospital for its registration under the Act.
