The human eye is one of the most valuable organs of the body, which lets us visualize the beautiful world around us. It is the eye lens that focuses images on the retina, which then converts them into electrical impulses to be sent to the brain via the optic nerve, which helps us understand and identify what we see. The eye lens has a transparent covering over it, called the cornea, which provides about 2/3rd of the focusing power of the eye. But, when there is mismatch between the focusing power of the cornea and the lens, we start having unclear vision, eye strain, and headache. This is when you need to visit an eye specialist in Andheri West Mumbai to have your eyes checked, only to find out that you have a number (scientifically known as “refractive error”) and that you have to start wearing glasses or contact lenses.
While there was a time when everyone with a refractive error was forced to wear glasses or contact lenses, it isn't the case anymore! The LASIK eye surgery in Oshiwara Mumbai is one of the best innovations man has made, which has helped science to correct the refractive error of the human eye. The surgery involves a laser to change the shape of the cornea. As dangerous as it may sound, it is absolutely safe as the laser is cold, and penetrates only 3 microns deep into the cornea. Obviously, with LASIK being a surgical procedure that meddles with the eye, there could be a number of questions flooding your mind when you think of undergoing the same. And, this is why we are here to clear all those doubts once and for all, so that you are sure about taking up the surgery with no fears and uncertainties in your mind.
How does LASIK work?
LASIK involves a laser in-situ keratomileusis, and a mechanical instrument known as the microkerarome. This instrument is used to make a small cut on the cornea, creating a flap, which is then lifted to reshape the cornea with the laser. The flap is then put back in place.
Are there any other types of similar procedures?
Conventional LASIK alters the natural shape of the cornea, which may result in vision disturbances.
Aberration-smart/Wavefront-optimized LASIK minimizes the alteration to eliminate night vision problems.
Wavefront-guided customized LASIK minimizes the treatment for individual eyes, to eliminate both lower order errors like sphere and cylinder, and higher order aberrations like coma and trefoil; thus providing excellent vision.
Is LASIK safe?
This is one of the most common questions. And, the fact is that LASIK is extremely safe! There is hardly any chance for complications to arise, provided you have the surgery executed by an experienced professional.
How long is the treatment?
The laser treatment takes only a few seconds, but the entire procedure takes around ten minutes. And, the best part is that you feel no pain!
