LASIK Surgery in Varanasi: Say Goodbye to Glasses with Schwind Amaris & Femto Laser Technology

Waking up every morning and reaching for your glasses before you can even see the time on your phone. Fogged-up lenses during Varanasi’s humid summers. The constant worry of glasses slipping off while offering prayers at the ghats or riding a two-wheeler through the city’s busy lanes. If this sounds familiar, LASIK surgery could be the permanent solution you have been looking for. At Netrodaya Eye City, we perform advanced, bladeless LASIK using two of the most trusted laser platforms in the world — the Schwind Amaris excimer laser and the Femto laser system — giving patients in Varanasi access to precision eye care that once meant travelling to a metro city.

What Is LASIK Surgery?

LASIK, or Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, is a refractive surgery that reshapes the cornea, the clear front surface of your eye, so that light entering the eye focuses correctly on the retina. This corrects common vision problems such as:

• Myopia (nearsightedness) — difficulty seeing distant objects clearly
• Hyperopia (farsightedness) — difficulty focusing on nearby objects
• Astigmatism — blurred or distorted vision at any distance

The procedure typically takes only 10 to 15 minutes for both eyes combined, is painless under numbing eye drops, and requires no hospital stay.

Two Advanced Machines, One Goal: Accuracy You Can Trust

What sets Netrodaya apart in Varanasi is our investment in dual advanced laser technology, allowing our surgeons to tailor the procedure to each patient’s unique corneal profile.

1. Schwind Amaris Excimer Laser

The Schwind Amaris is among the fastest and most precise excimer laser platforms available globally. It uses an ultra-high-speed eye tracker that follows even the smallest eye movements in real time, ensuring the laser reshapes the cornea with sub-micron accuracy. This translates into shorter treatment times, minimal discomfort, and consistently sharp visual outcomes, even for higher spectacle powers.

2. Femto Laser (Bladeless Flap Creation)

Traditional LASIK once used a mechanical blade, called a microkeratome, to create the thin corneal flap before laser correction. Femto LASIK replaces that blade entirely with a laser, giving our surgeons far greater control over the thickness, shape, and position of the flap. This bladeless approach reduces the risk of flap-related complications, improves predictability, and is especially suitable for patients with thinner corneas who may not be candidates for traditional LASIK.

Together, these two machines allow the team at Netrodaya, under the guidance of Dr. Abhishek Chandra, to design a fully customised, blade-free LASIK experience for every patient — a combination rarely available at eye hospitals in this region.

Who Is a Good Candidate for LASIK?

LASIK is generally recommended for patients who:

• Are above 18 years of age with a stable spectacle power for at least the last one year
• Have healthy corneas of adequate thickness
• Do not have active eye infections or certain corneal disorders
• Are not pregnant or breastfeeding at the time of surgery

A detailed pre-LASIK evaluation, including corneal mapping and thickness measurement, is performed at Netrodaya to confirm suitability before scheduling the procedure.

Life After LASIK: What to Expect

Most patients notice a dramatic improvement in vision within 24 hours of surgery. Mild dryness, light sensitivity, or a gritty sensation may be present for the first few days and is managed with lubricating drops. Normal daily activities can usually be resumed within a day or two, while swimming and heavy exercise are avoided for a couple of weeks. The vast majority of patients achieve spectacle-free vision that lasts a lifetime.
