Services
LASIK
LASIK reshapes the cornea using an excimer laser to correct refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. A thin flap is created, allowing precise tissue removal for rapid visual recovery. Most patients achieve clear vision within 24 hours, with minimal discomfort and quick return to daily activities.
PRK
PRK removes the corneal epithelium before reshaping the cornea with a laser. Ideal for patients with thinner corneas, it avoids flap-related risks. Recovery takes 5-7 days, with vision stabilizing over four weeks. It offers reduced dry eye risk and long-term visual stability.
SILK
SILK uses femtosecond laser technology to create and remove a corneal lenticule through a small incision. This minimally invasive procedure preserves corneal integrity, with recovery in 3-5 days. It provides rapid visual improvement and is suitable for active lifestyles requiring quick healing.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes clouded natural lenses and replaces them with intraocular implants. Using advanced techniques, we restore clear vision for patients with age-related lens opacity. The procedure takes 15 minutes, with recovery within 2-4 weeks and improved color perception post-surgery.
Astigmatism Treatment
Our astigmatism treatment employs Vector Planning to analyze corneal topography and refractive data. This method ensures precise correction of irregular corneal curvature, achieving optimal visual outcomes through LASIK, PRK, or SILK procedures tailored to individual anatomical needs.

Questions
What is the difference between LASIK, PRK, and SILK procedures?
LASIK creates a corneal flap, PRK removes the epithelium, and SILK uses a keyhole incision. Recovery times vary, with LASIK offering fastest visual recovery and PRK reduced dry eye risk.
How much does laser eye surgery cost at NewVision Clinics?
PRK starts at $2150 per eye. LASIK and SILK pricing varies based on individual assessment. Interest-free payment plans are available for eligible patients.
Can I drive after my laser eye surgery?
Patients cannot drive on the day of surgery. Most return to driving within 1-7 days depending on procedure type and healing progress.
Is laser eye surgery safe for astigmatism?
Yes. Our Vector Planning method ensures precise astigmatism correction using advanced laser technology, with outcomes validated by international clinical standards.
What technology does NewVision Clinics use?
We utilize the VisX STAR S4, Schwind Amaris 1050RS, and ELITA Femtosecond Laser systems for customized, ultra-precise vision correction procedures.
