WaveLight Plus AI LASIK in Mumbai | Isha Netralaya Ghatkopar

If you live in Ghatkopar, Vikhroli, Powai or Chembur and you are tired of glasses fogging up on the train, contact lenses drying out by 4 pm, or reaching for your specs before you can even see the alarm clock, you have probably heard the phrase “AI LASIK”. This guide explains, in plain language, what WaveLight Plus AI LASIK is, how it differs from older LASIK, who is suitable, and what the day of surgery actually looks like at Isha Netralaya, Ghatkopar.

» What is WaveLight Plus AI LASIK?

WaveLight Plus (the InnovEyes system by Alcon) is one of the newest laser vision correction platforms. Traditional LASIK treats the number on your prescription, for example -3.5. WaveLight Plus goes a step further. Before treatment, it builds a personalised 3D model of your eye and uses AI-driven planning to design a treatment for that model.

Think of it like tailoring. A ready-made shirt comes in S, M or L. A tailored shirt is cut to your measurements. WaveLight Plus is the tailored version of LASIK.

Isha Netralaya is one of only three centres in Maharashtra equipped with the Alcon WaveLight Plus InnovEyes system.

» How is it different from regular LASIK?

» Who is a good candidate?

You may be suitable for WaveLight Plus AI LASIK if you:

• Are 18 years or older
• Have had a stable spectacle power for at least one year
• Have healthy corneasof adequate thickness (checked during your evaluation)
• Do not have active eye infections or uncontrolled eye conditions

If your cornea is thin or your power is very high, do not lose hope. Isha Netralaya offers other options such as Femto Contoura, PRK, SBK LASIK and ICL/IPCL, so the evaluation is about finding the right procedure, not just saying yes or no.

» What happens on the day?

Before the laser

A detailed evaluation maps your cornea, measures its thickness, checks your tear film and confirms your power. This is what feeds the 3D model.

During the laser

Numbing eye drops are used, so there is no injection. The actual laser time is under 20 seconds per eye, and the full procedure takes about 10 to 12 minutes. Most people feel only slight pressure for a few seconds.

After the laser

Most patients notice clear vision within a few hours and return to normal activities the next day. You will be given eye drops, protective glasses and a follow-up schedule.

» Is WaveLight Plus LASIK safe?

WaveLight Plus is US-FDA-approved technology and is used by leading eye centres worldwide. Safety also depends on the evaluation and the surgeon. At Isha Netralaya, LASIK is performed by experienced refractive surgeons from a team of 35+ super-specialists, trained at L.V. Prasad Eye Institute, Sankara Nethralaya and Aravind Eye Hospital, backed by 25+ years of eye care.
