LASIK Surgery A complete guide for what to expect

  • LASIK surgery A complete guide for what to
    expect
  • LASIK surgery (laser-assisted in place
    keratomileusis) is that the most ordinarily
    performed laser eye surgery to treat myopia
    (near-sightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness)
    and astigmatism.
  • Like other sorts of laser refractive surgery, the
    LASIK procedure reshapes the front surface of
    cornea so that it can be focused precisely onto
    the retina without glasses or contact lenses.
  • LASIK typically is pain-free and requires only
    about quarter-hour to treat both eyes. Vision
    improvement is immediate and sometimes stabilizes
    in as little as 24 hours.
  • The LASIK procedure
  • A mechanical surgical tool called a microkeratome
    or a femtosecond laser is employed to make a
    skinny, circular flap within the cornea. The
    surgeon then folds back this hinged flap to
    access the underlying cornea (called the stroma).
  • An excimer laser is employed to reshape the
    corneal stroma. This highly specialized laser
    uses a cool ultraviolet beam to get rid of
    (ablate) microscopic amounts of tissue from the
    cornea to reshape it so it more accurately
    focuses light on the retina for improved vision.
  • The corneal flap is laid back in situ, where it
    adheres to the corneal stroma without stitches
  • What to expect
  • Before LASIK. Your ophthalmologist will perform a
    comprehensive eye exam to work out if
  • youre a good candidate for LASIK vision
    correction.

During LASIK Immediately before your LASIK
surgery, numbing eye drops are applied to your
eye to prevent any discomfort during the
procedure. Your Lasik Surgeons can also offer you
some medication to assist you to relax. Your
eyes are going to be positioned under the laser,
and an instrument called a lid speculum is
employed to stay your eyelids open. A suction
ring is applied to the front of your eye to stop
eye movements or loss of contact that would
affect the standard of the corneal flap. After
the corneal flap is made, the Lasik surgeon then
uses a computer to regulate the excimer laser
for your particular prescription. Youll be asked
to seem at a target light for a brief time while
he or she watches your eye through a microscope
because the laser sends pulses of sunshine to
your cornea. The laser light pulses painlessly
reshape the cornea, but youll feel some pressure
on your eye. Youll also hear a gentle clicking
sound while the laser is working. The laser
treatment itself takes only a minute. Immediatel
y after LASIK Upon completion of your LASIK
surgery, your Lasik surgeon will have you rest
for a while.. You might feel a short-lived
burning or itching sensation immediately
following the procedure. After a quick
post-operative exam, someone can drive you home.
(You cannot drive after LASIK until your
ophthalmologist sees you the subsequent day and
confirms your uncorrected vision meets the legal
standard for driving.) You should expect some
blurry vision and haziness immediately after
surgery however, for many people, vision
improves immediately and stabilizes within a
couple of days. You may be ready to attend work
subsequent day, but many doctors advise a few
days of rest instead. Generally, youll return
to ascertain your ophthalmologist or your Lasik
surgeon in Jaipur the day after surgery. Follow
your doctors instructions and take any
medication prescribed. Also, avoid rubbing your
eyes, as there is a small chance this might
dislodge the flap until it heals and adheres more
securely to the underlying cornea.

Long-term Laser eye surgery offers numerous
benefits and may dramatically improve your
quality of life. Most of the people achieve
20/20 vision or better after the surgery, but
outcomes vary from person to person. You may
still get to wear glasses or contact lenses
following laser vision correction, though your
prescription level typically is going to be much
less than before. Read More
