“Not A Candidate” for LASIK? : New Laser Vision Technique in 2025: LaZrPlastique®

For decades, thousands of people worldwide have been told they are not a candidate for LASIK due to thin corneas, high or extreme astigmatism, Irregular Cornea, Scarred Corneas, Keratoconus, Radial Keratotomy, PRK and PTK complications, or other complex eye conditions. Many such patients leave their Lasik consultations at practices with limited Techniques and Technologies believing their dream of clear vision without glasses or contacts is impossible. At Gulani Vision Institute, we challenge that narrative with LaZrPlastique®, an advanced, proprietary, No-cut, No-Blade, No-Flap, Micron-specific, Excimer laser surgery technique honed over three decades to transform such cases into success stories.

Page 1: The ‘Not a Candidate’ Myth

Traditional LASIK guidelines often exclude patients with:

• Thin corneas (insufficient tissue for traditional LASIK cuts)
• High or irregular astigmatism (beyond the limits of conventional laser platforms)
• Previous eye surgery or corneal irregularities

Most patients hear, “Nothing can be done.” But being “not a LASIK candidate” doesn’t mean you can’t have vision correction—it simply means you need an eye surgeon talented in the whole range of Laser techniques and technologies and therefore a different, more advanced approach.

Dr. Arun C. Gulani, a world-renowned eye surgeon, has dedicated over 30 years to innovating beyond standard LASIK. Through LaZrPlastique®, he has redefined how excimer lasers are applied, using individualized, multidimensional laser techniques that:

• Avoid cuts, flaps, or removal of excess corneal tissue.
• Treat complex astigmatism safely and effectively.
• Preserve the natural corneal structure while enhancing vision quality.

Unlike traditional laser procedures driven by pre-set algorithms, LaZrPlastique® is an Art-form of excimer laser surgery, custom-designed for each unique eye. This proprietary technique combines:

• Precision and Safety – No blades, no flaps, and maximized corneal integrity.
• Multidimensional Applications – Tailored laser algorithms and delivery across various refractive disabilities to address thin corneas and high astigmatism.
• Vision Optimization – Can even aspire for beyond “20/20” goals, focusing on clarity, quality, and long-term stability of vision.
• Patient-Centric Design – Every treatment is individualized, built from a detailed analysis of each cornea’s topography, tomography, ray-tracing, OCT, and healing potential.

LaZrPlastique® offers hope where traditional LASIK, PRK, or SMILE fall short. Patients once told surgery was too risky or impossible now experience life-changing results.

At Gulani Vision Institute, results are not just promised—they are documented. We share worldwide patient success stories on camera, showcasing:

• Vision restoration in thin cornea cases once turned away by other surgeons.
• Correction of extreme astigmatism beyond standard treatment parameters.
• Real outcomes with no cuts, no flaps, no pain, and no compromise.

This high level of transparency has inspired eye surgeons and medical students globally, proving that with experience, artistry, and innovation, even the most challenging eyes can see a new future.
