Lasik Surgery
Lasik Surgery
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a safe and effective refractive surgery that corrects common vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The procedure reshapes the cornea, the transparent front part of the eye, to improve the way light enters the eye, resulting in clearer vision. At our eye hospitals in Mumbai, Delhi and Raipur, we are proud to offer state-of-the-art LASIK surgery to help our patients achieve optimal visual freedom.
- Consultation and Evaluation: Before undergoing LASIK surgery, you will have a comprehensive eye examination to determine your candidacy for the procedure. Our experienced ophthalmologists will evaluate your eye health, prescription, and other factors to ensure LASIK is suitable for you.
- Creation of the Corneal Flap: A thin corneal flap is created using a femtosecond laser or a microkeratome. This flap is then lifted to expose the underlying corneal tissue.
- Reshaping the Cornea: Using an excimer laser, the cornea is gently reshaped to correct the specific refractive error. This precise and controlled laser technology ensures accurate results.
- Flap Re-positioning: Once the cornea has been reshaped, the flap is carefully repositioned, acting as a natural bandage to aid in the healing process. No sutures are required.
- Post-operative Care: Following the procedure, you will be provided with detailed instructions for post-operative care, which typically includes the use of prescribed eye drops and regular follow-up visits to monitor your healing progress.
