Laser Assisted Stromal In-situ Keratomileusis [LASIK] is a method of re-shaping the external surface of the eye [the cornea] to correct low, moderate and high degrees of nearsightedness, astigmatism and far-sightedness. During the treatment, an instrument called the microkeratome creates a corneal flap to make it a painless procedure. The computerized Excimer laser then uses a cool beam of light to gently reshape the cornea so as to alter its curvature to the desired extent. The flap when replaced on the new corneal curvature allows images to be sharply focused on the retina. The goal is to eliminate or greatly reduce the dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
The treatment is for patients who have a refractive error and meet certain visual and medical criteria. In addition the best candidates tend to be those who are dissatisfied with their contact lenses or glasses and are motivated to make a change, whether it is due to occupational or lifestyle reasons. However, only a thorough examination by our LASIK team can evaluate whether or not you are medically suited for LASIK. Spectacles are cosmetically unappealing for some. There is a degree of distortion when looking through the periphery of the glasses, the field of vision is reduced and on leaving a cold room moisture can fog the glasses and blur vision for a few minutes. Hence glasses are unacceptable for certain careers. Contact lenses require motivation with great attention to hygiene during insertion and removal failing which sight - threatening infections may result. LASIK overcomes all these disadvantages.
Compared to the conventional procedure, today, Lasik Eye Surgery is considered by virtually all refractive surgeons worldwide to be the procedure of choice today. A benefit of LASIK eye surgery is No injection is required. No prolonged medication .No surgery is required .It is totally an out patient procedure. Lasik eye Surgery gets over within 10 minutes .Normal activities can be resumed the next day of the surgery. It is Permanent, once in life time treatment .Minimum recurrence of power. Full 5 years use of contact lenses would cost you almost same as LASIK treatment. The Price for Lasik surgery is very less in India. It costs only 25% of the price quoted in America. The cost of Lasik eye surgery pales in comparison to the many advantages it offers. Millions and millions of these surgeries have been performed in recent years with a phenomenal success rate being reported.
