Description
LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular refractive surgery that aims to correct vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Bharti Eye Foundation is a well-known medical institution that offers a range of eye care services, including LASIK surgery.
LASIK involves reshaping the cornea, which is the clear front surface of the eye, using a laser. This reshaping allows light to be properly focused onto the retina, improving vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
Bharti Eye Foundation likely follows a standard LASIK procedure:
Consultation: The first step involves a thorough eye examination to determine if you’re a suitable candidate for LASIK surgery. Factors such as your eye health, prescription stability, and overall health will be considered.
Preparation: Before the surgery, you might need to stop wearing contact lenses for a certain period of time, as they can temporarily alter the shape of the cornea.
Surgery Day: On the day of the surgery, you’ll be given numbing eye drops to ensure your comfort. A small device called a microkeratome or a femtosecond laser is used to create a thin flap in the cornea. This flap is then lifted to expose the underlying corneal tissue.
Laser Reshaping: An excimer laser is used to remove a precise amount of corneal tissue, reshaping the cornea according to your prescription. The laser operates based on the data obtained from your pre-operative measurements.
Flap Replacement: After the cornea has been reshaped, the flap is carefully put back into place. It adheres naturally without the need for stitches.
