Laser Vision Correction Led by a PhD Specialist in Maharashtra
At Natasha Eye Care & Research Centre, refractive surgery is led by Dr Natasha Pahuja, the youngest and only PhD in Refractive Surgery in India. With over a decade of experience and more than 10,000 successful vision correction procedures, she combines academic knowledge with precise surgical skill.
If you wish to reduce or eliminate your dependence on spectacles or contact lenses, our centre offers a range of refractive solutions supported by detailed diagnostics, modern laser systems, and strong safety standards.
Refractive surgery includes different procedures designed to correct short-sightedness, long-sightedness, and astigmatism. After careful evaluation, we recommend the most suitable option for your eyes.
What Refractive Surgery Can Treat
Refractive surgery helps reduce or remove the need for spectacles or contact lenses. At Natasha Eye Care, we treat:
- Short-sightedness, where distant objects appear blurry
- Long-sightedness, where near objects are difficult to see clearly
- Astigmatism, which causes distorted or blurred vision
- High power glasses
- Thin corneas that may not be suitable for routine LASIK
Refractive surgery can make daily activities easier, such as:
- Driving
- Reading
- Working on a computer
- Playing sports
- Travelling without worrying about glasses or lenses
Before recommending any procedure, we carefully examine your eyes to check:
- Corneal thickness
- Shape of the cornea
- Stability of your prescription
- Overall eye health
- Tear film and dryness levels
Based on these tests, we suggest the safest and most suitable treatment for your eyes. Our goal is clear, stable vision with long-term safety, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Refractive Surgery Treatments for Clear, Spectacle-Free Vision
At Natasha Eye Care & Research Centre, we provide refractive surgery options to reduce or eliminate the need for spectacles and contact lenses. Treatment is recommended after careful eye evaluation.
Advance Surface Ablation (ASA) / PRK
A flap-free laser procedure suitable for thin corneas, dry eyes, or high power. Recovery is slightly slower, but results are stable and long-lasting.
FEMTO-LASIK / SMILE / CLEAR
Laser procedures that reshape the cornea to correct vision. FEMTO-LASIK uses a thin flap, while SMILE and CLEAR are flap-free techniques done through small incisions.
Phakic IOL (ICL) Surgery
Suitable for very high power or thin corneas. A small implantable lens is placed inside the eye to provide clear vision without removing the natural lens.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
It can treat short-sightedness, long-sightedness, astigmatism, and in some cases high refractive power.
LASIK involves creating a thin flap before laser correction. PRK reshapes the cornea without creating a flap, making it suitable for thinner corneas.
The procedure itself is not painful due to numbing drops. Mild discomfort may occur during the healing period, especially after PRK.
Most laser procedures take only a few minutes per eye. The entire visit may take around 30 to 60 minutes.
Refractive surgery provides long-lasting results. However, natural age-related changes such as reading difficulty may still occur later in life.
