Myopia correction surgery has been performed at Bharti Eye Foundation since 1987. Dr. S. Bharti utilized an Excimer laser that the organization acquired in 1995 to complete the first LASIK treatment in Delhi in November of the same year.

Laser vision correction methods are

1. Since 1995, Contura, PRK, or photorefractive keratectomy has been the most traditional type of vision correction (Surface therapy, Contura vision).

2. Epi-LASIK / LASEK, which is made by using a keratome and alcohol in Epi-LASIK as opposed to an epithelial flap in LASEK, resembles a PRK more.

3. LASIK surgery is the most popular method for treating myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism, and presbyopia (LASer-Insitu-Keratomileusis). A flap with the ideal thickness and size is created using a microkeratome. The cornea is then reshaped with a laser after the flap is reflected. Since it is painless, safe, accurate, and provides speedy results, it is the ideal method for mild to moderate myopia up to -8 D, hyperopia up to +6 D, astigmatism up to 6 D, and presbyopia.

4. Sub Bowman Keratomileusis (SBK) uses an SBK keratome to form a 140-micron Lasik-style flap that is 110 microns thinner, allowing for a bigger myopia correction.
