LASIK is the most commonly performed refractive surgery procedure. The name is actually short for "laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis."
Why is it so popular? LASIK has advantages over other procedures, including a relative lack of pain afterward and the fact that good vision is usually achieved by the very next day. An instrument called a microkeratome is used in LASIK eye surgery to create a thin, circular flap in the cornea.
The surgeon folds the flap back out of the way, then removes some corneal tissue underneath using an excimer laser. The excimer laser uses a cool ultraviolet light beam to precisely remove ("ablate") very tiny bits of tissue from the cornea to reshape it. When the cornea is reshaped in the right way, it works better to focus light into the eye and onto the retina, providing clearer vision than before. The flap is then laid back in place, covering the area where the corneal tissue was removed.
All our clinics have the most state-of-the art lasers, and our surgeons have performed hundreds of procedures in every type of customers. LASIK is a safe and very rewarding surgery. Anyway, there are some exclusion criteria:
Glaucoma not controlled by medication - Keratoconus and corneal ectasias - Previous herpes infection. - Severe dry eye syndrome (dry keratopaty). - Cases where optic zones of more than 5mm cannot be applied. - Avoid flattening treatments below 35 Dp. corneal , and incurvations above 49 Dp., due to bad visual quality obtained after treatment.
During Surgery, you are awake, but sedated mildly. Your eye is numbed with eye drops — there are no needles. Your eyelids are held open with an instrument, so all you need to do as a patient is relax and stare at a small light. The actual laser time is anywhere from 10 seconds to two minutes, depending on your prescription and on the laser being used. Most patients find the entire experience quite simple, and easier than a dental cleaning
