Santacruz West has a large working professional population, and for many people considering LASIK the practical questions come first: how long is the procedure, and how soon can I get back to routine? The laser treatment itself takes only around 10–15 minutes, and vision typically improves within hours to a day. Afterwards you will be asked to avoid rubbing your eyes, use the prescribed lubricating drops, and keep water and dust away from your eyes for the period your surgeon advises. Because LASIK is not right for everyone, a full pre-operative evaluation comes first. Patients from Santacruz West travel south along Linking Road to reach us. Trivision Eye Hospital is on the 2nd floor of V N Sphere Mall, Linking Road, Bandra West, directly opposite Shoppers Stop and above the Titan Showroom.

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a laser eye treatment that corrects short-sightedness, long-sightedness and astigmatism by reshaping the cornea, typically freeing patients from spectacles or contact lenses. The procedure is carried out with a computer-controlled excimer laser, pre-programmed to reshape the cornea with precision, and takes around 10–15 minutes per session.
At Trivision, LASIK is offered alongside Femto-LASIK (a fully bladeless technique where the corneal flap is created with a femtosecond laser rather than a blade) and our flagship flapless option, Schwind ATOS SmartSight.
Generally recommended from age 18, once the eyeball has stopped growing, with a refractive error that has been stable for at least a year. LASIK is usually not recommended for patients under 18, with an unstable prescription, with only one good eye, during pregnancy or nursing, with significantly dry eyes, very high hypermetropia, or corneal conditions such as keratoconus.
