LASIK

SMILE eye surgery (small incision lenticule extraction) also involves reshaping your cornea with laser to help improve eye sight. But here there is no creating of Flap. With laser the eye surgeon creates a layer inside the cornea (which we call – Lenticule) and remove it to correct vision problems. The procedure is very quick, safe and also painless.

Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) is a type of Refractive Surgery or Laser Vision Correction where surgeon remove the surface of the cornea and ablate it with laser to correct your vision problems.

LVC or Laser Vision Correction is the procedure that involves the use of a laser to reshape the surface of the eye. This is done to improve or correct short-sightedness, long-sightedness and astigmatism. LVC includes LASIK, SMILE and PRK.

We know, LASIK or LASER eye surgery can seem a bit scary at first – a laser pointed at your eye! But laser surgery like LASIK/ SMILE/ PRK is one of the safest and most common elective procedures. And, once you’ve had LASIK/SMILE/PRK, your result may make you wish you’d gotten the procedure even sooner!

If you’re looking into LASIK vision correction, it’s probably because you don’t want to wear glasses or contact lenses any more. Sure, glasses can be a fashion statement, but they can also just get in the way. They’re a hassle during your favorite activities, and they block your beautiful eyes from the world. If they’re not getting smudged, they’re getting knocked off. Contacts show your eyes off, but they’ve got their own set of problems. All the supplies you have to buy, the constant cleaning procedures and checkups, lost lenses and allergies. Now, imagine life without contacts and glasses- the simplicity, the freedom to do what you want without worry. That’s what LASIK surgery can give you.

• If you do not want to wear glasses or contact lens
• Age more than 18 years.
• Refractive power more than -1.00D or +1.00D
• No change in power of glasses in last one year
• No eye disease

Don’t forget to mention any other medical conditions you have, or any medications you might be taking, as they can affect surgery as well.

Once you have decided that you want LASIK surgery, the LASIK surgeon will run a series of tests (We called – Pre-LASIK test) to evaluate your vision and eye condition. Your eye surgeon will then decide if LASIK is right for you.

While it is still a surgical procedure, the entire LASIK/SMILE/PRK process is fast. Start to finish, the laser procedure only takes a few minutes.

You will need to stop wearing contact lenses at least a week before the procedure, as they can affect the shape of your eyes and therefore the outcome of lasik surgery.

Many people sit up right after surgery and notice dramatically better vision. Still, complete recovery can take time-weeks or months even-and much of the responsibility will be in your hands.

Immediately, after LASIK, you may experience a few side effects from the procedure, including watery eye, a burning sensation, or mild discomfort. These symptoms usually pass within the first few days. If you experience any severe pain, or vision worsens, contact your doctor immediately. During your first week of recovery, your vision may seem slightly hazy or blurry-you may also be sensitive to light or have trouble seeing at night. These symptoms usually clear as your eyes heal, but you may continue to experience slight fluctuations in your vision for up to 6 months after surgery.

The road to recovery. Although we’d love to claim to all credit for your rapid recovery, most of it falls on you, and the amazing resilience of your eyes. Your eyes heal and adapt with surprising speed, but you can help the process along by closely following your Lasik surgeon’s instructions.
