Best Standard Lasik Treatment In Mumbai

Standard lasik or conventional Lasik is a process to reshape the cornea using an advanced Laser to correct the refractive error of the eye. The amount of reshaping done to the cornea is determined by some diagnostic tests before the procedure. Here a surgical tool is used to create a flap on the cornea and the Laser is used.

• A mechanical surgical tool called a microkeratome or a femtosecond laser is used to create a thin, circular flap in the cornea. The surgeon then folds back this hinged flap to access the underlying cornea (called the stroma)
• An excimer laser is used to reshape the corneal stroma. This highly specialized laser uses a cool ultraviolet light beam to remove (“ablate”) microscopic amounts of tissue from the cornea to reshape it so it more accurately focuses light on the retina for improved vision.
• The corneal flap is laid back in place, where it adheres to the corneal stroma without stitches

Your eye doctor will perform a thorough eye examination to determine if you are a good candidate for LASIK vision correction which includes

• Dry eye evaluation- wherein the surface or your eye will be examined to make sure you have no unusual risk of dry eyes after LASIK.
• Corneal Topography- An automated instrument called a corneal topographer will be used to create a detailed, point-by-point map of the shape of cornea and also measures its thickness. An additional measurement called a wavefront analysis of your cornea also may be performed to help you achieve the best LASIK outcome possible.

You should stop wearing contact lenses for a period of time advised by your doctor (typically at least two weeks prior to LASIK). This is important because contact lens wear can alter the natural shape of your cornea and could affect the outcome of your procedure.

• Immediately before your LASIK surgery, numbing eye drops are applied to your eye to prevent any discomfort during the procedure.
• Your eye will be positioned under the laser, and an instrument called a lid speculum is used to keep your eyelids open.
• A suction ring is applied to the front of your eye to prevent eye movements or loss of contact that could affect the quality of the corneal flap.
• After the corneal flap is created, the surgeon then uses a computer to adjust the excimer laser for your particular prescription. You will be asked to look at a target light for a short time while the laser light pulses painlessly reshape the cornea, but you may feel some pressure on your eye. You’ll also hear a steady clicking sound while the laser is operating. The laser treatment itself takes only about a minute.

• Upon completion of your LASIK surgery, your surgeon will have you rest for a bit. You may feel a temporary burning or itching sensation immediately following the procedure.
• After a brief post-operative exam, someone can drive you home.
• You should expect some blurry vision and haziness immediately after surgery; however, for most people, vision improves immediately and stabilizes within a few days.
• Follow your doctor’s instructions and take any medication prescribed. Also, avoid rubbing and squeezing your eyes, as there’s a small chance this could dislodge the flap until it heals and adheres more securely to the underlying cornea.
• You may be able to go to work the next day, but many doctors advise a couple of days of rest instead.
• Generally, you will return to see your eye doctor or your LASIK surgeon the day after surgery. At this visit, he or she will test your vision.

• Laser eye surgery offers numerous benefits and can dramatically improve your quality of life. Most people achieve 6/6 vision or better after the surgery, but outcomes vary from person to person.
• While the procedure has an excellent safety profile, LASIK complications can occur and may include dry eye, glare and halos (starbursts or halos that are most noticeable when you’re viewing lights at night, such as while you’re driving), flap displacement etc.
• A small percentage of people need a LASIK enhancement or “touch up” procedure, a few months after the primary LASIK surgery to achieve acceptable visual acuity.
• And you still will need reading glasses once you reach your 40s, due to a normal age-related loss of near vision called presbyopia.
