Are you searching for clear answers to your LASIK surgery questions? 👁️ If you’ve been considering laser vision correction, you probably have concerns about safety, side effects, and whether you’re a good candidate. In this video, Dr. Khor Wei Boon, Senior Consultant Ophthalmologist at the Singapore Eye & Vision Clinic, answers the most frequently asked questions about LASIK eye surgery.

Dr. Khor explains how LASIK surgery works, the success rates, and the types of vision problems it can treat, including short-sightedness, long-sightedness, and astigmatism. He also discusses whether LASIK can correct presbyopia (“lao hua”), a common condition that affects near vision as we age. If you’ve been hesitant because of safety concerns, this video covers what patients can realistically expect, including the risks and side effects of LASIK.

In addition to addressing these LASIK surgery questions, Dr. Khor introduces alternative treatments. For some patients, options such as lenticule extraction (SMILE) or surface ablation (PRK) may be more suitable. Understanding your options ensures you make the best decision for your long-term vision.
