Lasik Surgery is the latest treatment available to permanently rectify refractive errors of the eye, freeing patients from spectacles and contact lenses.
The human eye and refractive errors The human eye is an optical marvel which functions similarto a camera.
When light rays pass through the lens of the eye, it focuses the rays to the retina.
The retina is a screen like pan of the eye which has billions of photo receptors.
These receptors convert the image into electric impulses which are transmitted to the brain by the optic nerve.
When the eyes are not able to focus the light rays to the retina, eyesight is blurred and the condition is called a refractive error.
Refractive errors occur when the shape of the cornea, lens or the eye is abnormal.
There are different types of refractive errors such as Myopia or nearsightedness, where closer objects are seen clearly ; Hyperopia or farsightedness, where far objects are seen clearly ; Astigmatism, where both near and far objects appear blurred.
Refractive errors can be treated permanently by with the help of Lasik treatments.A
Advanced LASIK Surgery is a laser eye treatment designed specifically to treat individual vision errors, keeping in mind the fact that every patient's eye differs in corneal thickness, shape and pupil size.
It is a treatment which helps patients get rid of glasses and contact lenses permanently.
Apart from correcting refractive errors, it also corrects certain higher order aberrations.
As a part of the treatment, each eye will be examined for previously unseen details known as aberrations
A treatment that can correct individual visual errors and aberrations will be planned.
A combination of smaller and larger beams will deliver precise treatment which is unique to the patient's eye.
Local anaesthetic drops are administered so that the treatment is completely painless.
The patient is made to lie down on a bed with their eyes open, facing up.
Using a precision device called Hansatome, a thin flap on the surface of the cornea is created.
The flap is gently lifted on one side, and the bed of the cornea is exposed and the laser is applied.
