LASIK Refractive Surgery

What is LASIK? LASIK is a surgical procedure
for correcting near sightedness (myopia), far
sightedness (hyperopia) and cylindrical
(Astigmatic) refractive errors. LASIK stands for
Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis.

Procedure of LASIK During LASIK surgery, a flap
is created in the outer layers of the cornea. The
flap is hinged and lifted so the excimer laser
can treat only the underlying layer of the
cornea. This circular flap remains attached to
the cornea by a small hinge of tissue. The hinge
enables the flap to be lifted away from the
central cornea. A laser can then be used to
reshape the exposed mid-layer of the cornea. The
laser is used to create a flap using multiple
short pulses. These pulses are so close together
they create an almost complete separation of the
flap from the rest of the cornea, but they do not
actually lift the flap. If the flap pattern is
judged to be complete and satisfactory, a
delicate separation of the flap is performed with
a few gentle manipulations using a surgical
instrument. While creating the flap, the eye is
held firmly with a suction ring, which exerts
some pressure and causes vision to black out
momentarily. The surgeon then positions the
patients eye under the excimer laser which is
programmed to remove microscopic layers of tissue
from the internal part of the cornea under the
flap. The cool laser beam vaporizes tissue away,
one microscopic layer at a time, without burning
or cutting. This tissue does not completely
replace itself after it is removed. Since the
excimer laser light is created at a specified
wavelength that does not pass through the cornea,
no other part of the eye is affected.

After the tissue has been removed, the surgeon
places the flap back in its original position
where it heals into place with no stitches. The
cornea has amazing natural bonding qualities.
Within a few minutes, the flap adheres to the
underlying tissue. The edges of the flap heal
over in 12 to 48 hours, with the entire flap
gaining adhesive strength as it continues to heal
in the following weeks and months. For each eye,
the laser application time is usually less than
one minute and the whole procedure takes around
15 minutes.

• Conventional Lasik
• LASIK is a surgical procedure for correcting near
  sightedness (myopia), far sightedness (hyperopia)
  and cylindrical (Astigmatic) refractive errors.
  LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted in Situ
  Keratomileusis.)
• 2) Femto Lasik (Blade Free Lasik)
• FEMTOLASIK is a two-step procedure involving two
  lasers. First, the surgeon creates a small flap
  in the cornea with the help of ultra fast femto
  second laser ( Blade or Microkeratome is not
  needed) to prepare the eye for the next step, the
  vision correction. The traditional LASIK method
  of laser vision correction requires a mechanical
  blade to make the flap. Second step of vision
  correction is like conventional Lasik.
• 3) No Touch Lasik
• In Conventional Lasik or Femto Lasik (Bladeless
  Lasik) Mechanical Instruments or Lasers Creates
  the corneal Flap Which is mandatory, Contrary to
  this in No Touch Lasik(Trans PRK) Corneal Flap
  is not required so one can avoid flap related
  complications. It is very safe predictable
  procedure, as no flap is required so chances of
  complications in future negligible.

Patient fit for NO TOUCH LASIK are a) Patients
who play contact sports (rugby, martial arts) or
have careers that pose a greater risk of injury
(police, armed Forces). b) Patients who are
highly anxious about LASIK Flap creation (but who
also accept the new risks posed by No Touch laser
eye surgery). c) Patients with compromised
corneal bio-mechanics (Dependent on the shape and
thickness of your cornea and your current
prescription). d) Patients who are likely to
suffer flap-related complications with LASIK
(such as having small. deep set eyes). e)
Patients undergoing Follow-up Eye surgery to
Correct Previous imperfect LASIK or Epi-LASIK
Procedures. 4) Eye PCL Implantable Phakic
contact Lens (EyePCL) is like a soft contact
lens, single piece posterior chamber phakic iol,
which can be inserted into the eye through sub
2.8mm incision to correct vision of the eye.The
lens is customized according to shape size of
each eye.Widest power range from 15D to -30D
with cyl upto 8D.Made from Hybrid Acrylic
material to ensure long term performance.The
EyePCL lens is implanted inside the eye, between
the Iris and the natural lens. It can be inserted
into the eye through sub 2.8 mm incision, to
correct spherical, cylindrical or mixed errors
within the eyes optical system. Once implanted
in the eye, the EyePCL stays indefinitely. It can
be replaced or removed from the eye, if your
vision changes over a period of time.

Am I Fit For LASIK For people with
nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness
(hyperopia) or astigmatism, LASIK surgery could
be the key to a life free of bulky spectacles or
contact lenses. But not everybody is a suitable
candidate for this type of laser eye surgery.
Here are the few main questions a lasik surgeon
in indore is likely to ask you during a
consultation. LASIK FAQ's How old are you? If
youre under 18, the LASIK surgeon will ask you
to wait, just to make sure your vision is
stabilised. If youre in your early 40s, you need
to be aware that you might still need reading
glasses later on. If youre in your 60s, you will
need to be assessed for pre-existing cataracts.
If you have them, cataract surgery might actually
solve your vision problem, in addition to
correcting any myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism or
presbyopia that you might have. To speak to a
