LASIK VISION CORRECTION SURGERY WITH LASIK AND WAVEFRONT
Lasers have proved especially useful in eye care, where they are also used to correct refractive errors, thus minimizing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses (Cosmetic correction). Ophthalmologists at Eye & U have combined experience of 70 years and an international reputation for performing more than 5000 successful laser refractive surgery or Laser-Assisted ln-Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK).
Eye&U has latest technology which offers Wavefront assisted vision correction technology which scores over other procedures for vision correction in several ways. This procedure not only helps correct common vision defects such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism (cylindrical vision), it is also capable of measuring and correcting even minute aberrations in the eye, giving results that were, until now, considered impossible.

BEFORE THE LASER PROCEDURE
- The overall health of your eyes will be checked.
- Measurements of your cornea will be taken.
- Your refractive error will be measured.
AFTER LASER SURGERY
- After surgery your eye will be covered with a contact bandage lens and you can return home.
- It is a painless procedure and gives immediate visual recovery.
- You will have to come for follow-up visits from the very next day onwards.
- Please be careful and follow the schedule suggested by the doctor.
THE USUAL CHECK-UP SCHEDULE IS
- First check-up on the morning after surgery
- Seven days after surgery
- One month after surgery
- Three months after surgery
- One year after surgery
IMPORTANT!
Although LASIK is an excellent procedure for low and moderate refractive errors, it may not totally dispense with the need for glasses in everybody. Though doctors strive to make the refractive error zero, this is not always possible. The main purpose of surgery is to offer sufficient good vision so that patients are not dependent upon glasses most of the time. A detailed eye examination, followed by a realistic discussion with the surgeon on the expected outcome of surgery, will help you to know what to expect.
ALTERNATIVE TO LASIK
- Patients who are unsuitable for LASIK can opt for alternatives such as photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), phakic intraocular lens implant, and clear lens extraction.
- Phakic IOL is recommended for patients with very high refractive powers, or those with very low corneal thickness or flat corneas that are unsuitable for LASIK. In this procedure (Phakic IOL) the lens is implanted inside the eye and cannot be felt. Unlike other implant procedures or lasers, this implanted lens can be removed any time, as the surgery does not affect the important natural structures of the eye. Therefore, the entire procedure is reversible.
