THE PROCEDURES
What is Freedom From Glasses?
Vision-correction procedures may reduce, and for some suitable patients remove, the need for glasses or contact lenses in daily activities. The appropriate option depends on your prescription, corneal measurements, age, eye health and visual needs.
Freedom From Glasses covers several advanced procedures — Touchless LASIK, SMILE and PRK (laser vision correction), ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens), and PRELEX (Presbyopic Lens Exchange) — so your treatment can be matched precisely to your eyes, age and lifestyle.
Which Option is Right for You?Laser-vision-correction and lens-based options are selected after detailed assessment. Your surgeon will discuss benefits, limitations and possible risks before recommending a procedure.

LASER VISION CORRECTION
Touchless LASIK
A bladeless, flapless, touchless laser vision-correction option for suitable patients. Suitability is determined after detailed corneal evaluation.
Book Consultation
FLAPLESS LASER
SMILE
A minimally invasive, flapless laser procedure that removes a small lenticule of corneal tissue through a tiny incision. May be considered for suitable candidates after assessment.
Book Consultation
SURFACE LASER
PRK
A flapless surface laser treatment that reshapes the outer corneal surface directly. May be considered for select cases, including some thinner corneas, after assessment; recovery typically takes longer than LASIK or SMILE.
Book Consultation
IMPLANTABLE LENS
ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens)
A thin, flexible lens made from biocompatible Collamer material, positioned behind the iris and in front of the natural lens. May be considered for suitable patients, including some with higher prescriptions or corneal characteristics that make laser correction less suitable.
Book Consultation
LENS EXCHANGE
PRELEX (Presbyopic Lens Exchange)
Lens-exchange surgery, similar in technique to cataract surgery, that may be considered for suitable patients with presbyopia or refractive error. The lens choice and expected vision range are determined after evaluation.

There is no single best procedure for everyone. The right option depends on your eye power, corneal thickness, age, and lifestyle. Shanti Eye Tech helps you understand your options clearly before you decide.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Freedom From Glasses FAQs
What is the difference between Touchless LASIK, SMILE, PRK, ICL and PRELEX?
Touchless LASIK uses a laser to create a thin corneal flap, then reshapes the cornea. SMILE is a flapless laser procedure using a small incision. PRK is a flapless surface laser treatment. ICL places a lens inside the eye without removing the natural lens, and may be considered for higher prescriptions or corneas unsuitable for laser correction. PRELEX replaces the natural lens and may be considered for suitable patients with presbyopia. Your specialist recommends the most appropriate option after a detailed evaluation, and will discuss benefits, limitations and possible risks.
Is Touchless LASIK painful?
Numbing eye drops are used during the procedure, so most patients feel slight pressure rather than pain. Individual experience and post-procedure discomfort can vary — your surgeon will discuss what to expect.
Who is a good candidate for ICL?
ICL may be considered for suitable patients, including some with higher prescriptions or corneal characteristics that make laser correction less suitable. Suitability is determined after a comprehensive eye examination.
Who is PRELEX recommended for?
PRELEX may be considered for suitable patients with presbyopia or refractive error, often but not exclusively over 40. The lens choice and expected vision range are determined after evaluation.
What is the recovery time for these procedures?
Recovery time differs by procedure and individual healing. Your surgeon will provide personalised activity guidance based on which procedure you undergo.
