Laser Vision Correction Surgery (LASIK)

In Lasik, the corneal surface is reshaped using a laser beam. It corrects vision by altering refractive power of the eye by a calculated change in the corneal curvature.The image of the outside world is now focused sharply on the retina.

  • Does it correct Presbyopia?

    (Reading glasses after 40 years of age)This comes due to natural ageing process and cannot be corrected by normal Lasik laser. A patient above 40years of age with fully corrected short sight (Myopia) may have to wear a reading glass after the procedure. However a newer customized Lasik procedure (Presby Lasik) is available which can correct presbyopia and your doctor will decide if you are a suitable candidate for the treatment.

  • What is the range of correction by laser?
    • Myopia (short sight) -1.00D to -12.0D
    • Hyperopia (long sight)+1.00D to +6.0D
    • Astigmatismupto ± 6.0D

  • What is the surgical procedure for laser vision correction?
    • The surgical procedure is relatively simple and takes only about 10-15 minutes for both the eyes.
    • The anaesthetic drops are first instilled to cause numbing of the eye. This may give rise to a slight burning sensation as soon as the drops are instilled.
    • A speculum (Clip) is placed to separate the eyelids and to prevent the patient from closing the eye during the procedure.The patient is asked to focus on a flashing red light
    • An instrument known as the microkeratome is then used to raise a thin flap (120-140μ) of the cornea. The red light may transiently disappear during this process.
    • The excimer laser then reshapes the cornea by removing a predetermined precise amount of tissue from the inner cornea. The flap is then repositioned back where it adheres immediately without the need for stitches or bandages.
    • Visual recovery is full in 24-48 hours.
