LASIK Laser Eye Surgery

LASIK is one of the most popular eye surgeries, commonly performed to correct vision problems. LASIK stands for laser in-situ keratomileusis. This surgery is performed for people who are nearsighted, farsighted or have astigmatism. It is a surgery which is an alternative for wearing glasses.

Just like a camera lens focuses all the light on the film to create an image, our eye’s cornea serves a similar function. It focuses light on creating a picture in our eyes. If there are imperfections present on the cornea, a proper image will not be formed on the retina, i.e., a blurry vision. These errors in the focussing power of our eye are known as refractive errors.

There are three types of refractive errors: Myopia, Hyperopia, and Astigmatism.

  • Someone with myopia, or nearsightedness, face difficulty seeing objects at a distance as clearly as nearby objects.
  • Someone with hyperopia, or farsightedness, would find it more challenging to view closer objects as clearly as distant objects.
  • In Astigmatism, irregularities on the cornea or lens cause a distortion of the image on the retina.

WHAT HAPPENS IN A LASIK SURGERY?

In LASIK surgery, your cornea’s tissue is precisely removed with the help of a special laser to reshape the cornea. This removes the imperfections previously present, thus changing its focusing power. The retina can now form a proper image giving you a clear picture! LASIK surgery is an outpatient surgery, and you need not get admitted to the hospital for this. It takes around 30 to 40 minutes for the entire surgery. This surgery is performed under local anesthesia. You need to lie down on the reclining chair, and your eyes will be numbed using eye drops. Your doctor will use the laser to perform the surgery. If you require LASIK in both eyes, that can be done on the same day. You can go home immediately afterward. It is a simple and painless surgery.So get LASIK surgery today to get rid of those annoying eyeglasses or cumbersome contact lenses!! Free your eyes and clear your vision today!!
