LASIK (Laser Assisted Stromal In-Situ Keratomileusis) is FDA approved most technologically advanced method available today for correcting short-slightness, long-sightedness, astigmatism and age related long-sightedness.
- Permanent correction of refractive error
- Non-invansive, safe outpatient procedure
- Painless
- Fast recovery
- Quick return of functional vision
- Minimal temporary side effects
- No injections, no suture. Only numbing eye drops
Advantages of LASIK
- Reduce your dependence on spectacles and contact lenses
- Eliminate risks associated with long term contact lens usage
- Increase convenience in everyday life
- Improve your performance in many activities, especially water and outdoor sports
- Rebuild your self-confidence
- One of the most frequently performed elective surgical procedures – with millions of patients treated world wide
- Makes permanent changes to correct refractive errors
- Quick surgery and rapid recovery
- Minimal temporary side effects
- Quick return of functional vision
- No injections, no suture, numbing eyes drops only
Ideal Candidate
- Be at least 18 years of age
- Stable vision for at least one year
- Adequate thickness of the cornea
- Healthy eyes
- Not pregnant or nursing
Possible side effect and risks
Risks of side effects and complications resulted from LASIK are very subtle. However, patient must acknowledge that there are side effects before undergoing the procedure. Most of these are short terms and all are treatable. These include:
- dry eyes
- difficulty with night driving
- fluctuation of vision
- glare sensitivity etc
In our centre, you will be under the care of expert hands in the best surgical environment and set-up, so the risks will be very much minimized.
What is Advanced Aspheric LASIK?
The process of LASIK surgery has the potential of creating visual aberrations by flattening the shape of a patient's central cornea. These aberrations can result in decreased quality of vision and night vision problems, such as glare and haloes. Advanced Aspheric LASIK is the key to providing the best results as it uses a specialized wavefront guided ablation pattern in order to maintain the natural bell-shaped curve of your eye.
What is Wavefront/ Customised LASIK?
Near-sightedness, far-sightedness and astigmatism are referred to as ‘lower order' aberrations. In addition to these, you're your eyes have complex “higher order” aberrations that are not correctable with glasses or contact lenses but can also decrease your quality of vision.
Using advanced technologies, we can measure your eyes' unique combination of lower and higher aberrations to create a custom wavefront map. This wavefront map is transferred to the Excimer laser system to create a unique profile for the treatment. Your cornea is the precisely reshaped using this individualized data profile.
