Best LASIK Complication Repair Surgeon in the World: Dr. Gulani
Best LASIK Complication Repair Surgeon in the World | Dr. Arun C. Gulani’s 30-Year Legacy of Innovation
He Classified It. He Invented It. He Fixes It.
For over three decades, Dr. Arun C. Gulani has led the world in LASIK complication repair, pioneering classifications, inventing award-winning surgical instruments, developing innovative algorithms, and creating next-generation procedures that have helped restore sight for patients from over 100 countries.
Where others saw complications, he saw structure.
Where others stopped, he invented.
Where others followed trends, he set them.
This is the legacy that positions Dr. Gulani as the architect of LASIK complication repair — a legacy that remains unmatched worldwide.
🌍 Among the First in the U.S. — Global LASIK Pioneer Before FDA Approval
Early in his career, Dr. Gulani with his international surgical privileges, became one of the first U.S. surgeons to perform LASIK—years before the procedure was FDA approved in the US.
This early access gave him rare insight: while most surgeons were learning, he had already mastered LASIK, routinely achieving and exceeding 20/20 visual outcomes for his patients. But with his extensive and full spectrum refractive surgery experience, he also recognized LASIK’s inherent weaknesses and limitations—particularly in flap creation, biomechanical instability, corneal thickness related limitations, and long-term optical and anatomical issues many patients would later face.
👁 Seeing Beyond LASIK — Innovating a Safer, More Advanced Procedure
“I was achieving Lasik results others aspired to, but I could see the weaknesses of the flap. That’s why I developed LaZrPlastique®—a no-flap, no-blade, no-cut, next-generation, micron-precision, laser vision correction technique that avoids LASIK’s inherent pitfalls.” — Dr. Arun C. Gulani
Rather than promoting LASIK and basking in the glory of his Lasik outcomes, Dr. Gulani evolved the field.
For patients and surgeons who regret LASIK or oppose it due to complications, this is crucial:
👉 Dr. Gulani performs Next Generation Lasik, LaZrPlastique®, a safer, precise and custom-designed approach that preserves the natural corneal integrity.
He is a world resource to fix LASIK complications.
🌟 Real Patient Symptoms We Treat Regularly
Patients travel to Gulani Vision Institute from across the World seeking solutions for LASIK complications such as:
- 🌌 Starbursts, halos, and night glare after LASIK
- 💧 Persistent dry eyes after LASIK that affect quality of life
- 👁 Double vision, ghosting, or distorted vision due to irregular corneas
- 🌀 Irregular astigmatism and decentered ablations
- ⚡ Blurry vision from optical misalignment or regression
- ✂️ Flap wrinkles, scarring, or complications from poorly created flaps
- 📉 Progressive LASIK ectasia — corneal weakening threatening long-term vision
Each complication is unique. Dr. Gulani’s customized, layered strategies have helped patients worldwide who were told to “just live with it” or advised to undergo invasive corneal transplants unnecessarily.
📚 1999: Defining the Language — The Gulani Three-Level LASIK Complication Classification
In 1999 (26 years ago), Dr. Gulani published the Gulani Three-Level LASIK Complication Classification as a letter in the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s Journal (Ophthalmology, Vol. 106, No. 8).
This pioneering system categorized LASIK complications by anatomical level, providing surgeons worldwide with a logical roadmap for diagnosis and repair:
- Corneal Section (Level I) – Lasik Flap size, depth, form, hinge issues.
- Interface (Level II) – Epithelial ingrowth, inflammation (DLK/SOS), infections, deposits.
- Ablation Bed (Level III) – Undercorrection, overcorrection, decentration, central islands, irregular ablations.
🛠 Inventing Surgical Instruments Before LASIK Was Mainstream
Years before LASIK became common in the U.S., Dr. Gulani invented and designed award-winning instruments to address these complications. In 1996, Storz Instrument Company one of the World’s most prestigious eye surgical instrument company and part of Bausch & Lomb awarded him their Innovator in Instrumentation Award for his Gulani LASIK Edge Delineator/Lifter—which became the surgeon’s instrument of choice for lasik flap manipulation worldwide.
These instruments enabled precision in complex cases others considered “untreatable.”
🧠 Developing Surgical Algorithms for Every Severity
Dr. Gulani created proprietary algorithms to address every type and severity of LASIK complication—from minor optical issues to eyes scheduled for transplants by their lasik surgeons.
By combining his classification system, meticulous diagnostics, surgical instruments, and innovations like LaZrPlastique®, Corneoplastique®, and LenzOplastique®, he built customized plans including staged ad combination treatments that restore vision others deemed “impossible.”
His algorithms address:
- Extreme irregular astigmatism & Corneal scars
- Lasik Corneal Ectasia stabilization and staged reconstruction
- Multi-layer complications (flap + interface epithelial growth + ablation)
- Transplant-avoidance strategies for advanced cases
📸 Global Legacy & Real Outcomes
- ✈️ Patients from over 100 countries have been helped by Dr.Gulani as patients travel to Jacksonville, Florida—not for marketing hype, but because Dr. Gulani delivers where others have failed.
- 👨⚕️ Surgeons visit to observe his techniques that don’t exist in textbooks.
- 📝 Outcomes are documented authentically and publicly—never scripted, never incentivized.
“When others say ‘nothing more can be done,’ I see the beginning of a masterpiece.” — Dr. Arun C. Gulani
🌎 Why Patients Who “Hate LASIK” Come Here
Many patients search online because they regret their LASIK, developed complications, or lost trust in their Lasik surgeons. Others simply want a safer alternative.
This is why Dr. Gulani’s work resonates:
- ✔ Among the first to perform LASIK internationally
- 🧭 Identified its weaknesses early
- 📝 Published the Lasik complication classification used worldwide
- 🛠 Invented the tools to fix complications
- 🌐 Developed LaZrPlastique® — the safer, flap-free evolution of Laser Vision surgery

No other surgeon combines this historical leadership, innovation, and documented global results.
Scleral Lens & LASIK Complications:
Many patients with LASIK complications such as irregular astigmatism, starbursts, halos, double vision, or ectasia are often directed toward scleral lenses as their only option for functional vision. While scleral lenses can temporarily mask the optical irregularities by creating a smooth refractive surface, they do not address the underlying anatomical or surgical issue, which often continues to worsen over time.
At Gulani Vision Institute, Dr. Arun C. Gulani’s approach goes far beyond scleral lens fitting. By utilizing advanced diagnostics, his proprietary Corneoplastique®, LaZrPlastique®, and LenzOplastique® techniques, or selective tissue reconstruction, he often corrects the root cause—restoring patients’ natural vision and frequently allowing them to avoid long-term dependence on expensive and uncomfortable scleral lenses. Patients who were told that scleral lenses were their “only hope” have traveled from around the world to have their complications truly fixed, not just masked.
Why Topo-Guided PRK, Trans-PRK, and Cross-Linking Alone May Not be the Ultimate Solution for LASIK Complications
Many centers—across Europe, Asia, and Beyond—promote Topo-Guided PRK, Trans-PRK, or Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL) as the primary “solutions” for post-LASIK complications such as ectasia, irregular astigmatism, starbursts, halos, ghosting, double vision, and night glare. While these technologies can have value when applied with expert strategy, they are often used as limited and single-modality treatments. This can lead to further visual compromise, including scarring, loss of corneal tissue, or persistent irregular optics.
At Gulani Vision Institute, Dr. Arun C. Gulani’s approach goes far beyond one-size-fits-all methods. Drawing on his three decades of pioneering experience, his published LASIK complication classification, and his proprietary Corneoplastique®, LaZrPlastique®, and LenzOplastique® techniques, he performs customized corrections that address the root anatomical cause of each complication. Patients from across Asia, Middle East, Australia and Europe—including Switzerland, Germany, France, UK, Italy, Greece, Middle East and Far East—regularly travel to Jacksonville, Florida after undergoing procedures elsewhere, only to achieve vision they were told was not possible.
Dr. Arun C. Gulani routinely treats patients who have undergone these procedures elsewhere after LASIK and suffered further visual degradation — including persistent irregularities, scarring, loss of corneal tissue, and distorted optics. Rather than relying on Topo-Guided or Trans-PRK alone, Dr. Gulani applies his Corneoplastique® algorithms, integrating LaZrPlastique®, LenzOplastique®, selective tissue reconstruction, or staged techniques to reverse the damage and restore clarity. Many of these patients arrive believing these procedures were their “final option,” only to achieve 20/20 or better vision after Dr. Gulani’s customized interventions.
