LASIK Eye surgery

• What Is LASIK?
• LASIK technology is an advanced technology to
  correct the vision and improve eyesight. At our
  eye care center, customer satisfaction and safety
  are at the top of our priority list. Our
  continuous efforts both in services and building
  infrastructure in context to the latest
  technologies set us apart from other eye care
  centers. Through our latest LASIK technology, we
  endeavor to provide our patients with the best
  and safe eye care they deserve. Through LASIK,
  the eyesight improves quickly and effectively.

• How does Eye work?
• The normal functioning of the eye is ensured by
  proper coordination between various parts of the
  eye both anatomically and physiologically. If all
  the parts of the eye fail to synchronize, poor
  vision results. Common vision problems related to
  the eye include
• Nearsightedness (Myopia) In this condition, the
  objects near to the eyes are clear to the
  patients while far objects are blurred. The image
  in these patients is formed before the retina and
  not on the retina. The reason may be too long
  eyeball or too steep cornea.
• Farsightedness (Hyperopia) People suffering from
  this type of eye problem have a problem seeing
  the near objects while having a clear view of far
  objects. The image is formed beyond the retina.
  Too short eyeball or flat curvature of the cornea
  may lead to hyperopia.
• Astigmatism This problem is found in people with
  the irregular cornea. Astigmatism may occur in
  patients simultaneously with myopia or hyperopia.
  Patients with this problem have blurred visions
  of the objects whether placed far or near.
• What is the measure of visual acuity?
• 20/20 vision is commonly heard in context to
  eyesight. It measures the visual acuity of the
  eyes. Visual acuity for a long time is measured
  through the Snellen chart. 20/20 vision means at
  20 feet the person can see those things that a
  person with normal visual acuity can see.
  Therefore 20/20 is called a normal vision.
  However, if the visual acuity measures 20/40, it
  means that you must move closer to 20 feet to see
  the thing that a person with normal vision can
  see from 40 feet. The visual acuity score is an
  important parameter to determine the health of
  your eyes. Through proper examination it is easy
  to identify myopia or hypermetropia.

• Cost Of LASIK Eye Surgery In Delhi
• The cost of LASIK in Delhi depends upon a variety
  of factors that causes high variations of the
  cost at various centers. The cost may range
  from Rs. 18,000 per eye to Rs. 36,000 of rupees
  depending upon the technology involved in
  performing LASIK surgery. LASIK surgery is also a
  surgery and thus high standards of hygiene and
  safety protocols are required.
• A one-time cost of LASIK surgery in more
  economical in the long run as compared to
  recurring costs of glasses and contact lenses.
• Those centers which use old technology and do not
  follow minimum safety guidelines and hygiene have
  low cost as compared to those centers who follow
  the protocols. The cost also depends upon the
  experience of the LASIK surgeon and the success
  rate. Follow-up visit charges and medications
  also add up to the overall cost. While choosing
  the LASIK surgeon, the patient should consider
  various other variables such as dedication of the
  surgeon and success rate along with the cost
  factor.
• LASIK Technology
• Any LASIK procedure consists of two steps
• CREATING A CORNEAL FLAP
• TREATING THE UNDERLYING CORNEA WITH A LASER
• now we shall discuss the above two points in
  detail
• creating a corneal flap.
• Corneal flap can be created either using a blade
  or using a laser called femtosecond laser. We
  at BAJAJ EYE CARE CENTRE use the best of
  technologies for both of the techniques. In BLADE
  LASIK we create a flap using not a surgical blade
  but an instrument called automated computerized
  microkeratome. For flap creation with
  microkeratome we use the worlds best and trusted
  MORIA ONE USE PLUS SBK microkeratome which has a
  capability of producing very thin flaps measuring
  equivalent to 90 microns. This technique is
  called SBK LASIK (sub bowmans keratomileusis ).
  The thinner flap in the range of 90 microns ( 1
  mm is equivalent to 1000 microns ) has obvious
  advantages.

• More residual cornea is left behind thus leaving
  a thicker residual cornea for a lifelong normal
  functioning.
• Since the flap is cut at a superficial level it
  results in a lesser dry eyes postoperatively
  allowing the patient to resume all his activities
  no sonnertha the next day onwards.
• Moria one use plus microkeratome produces very
  smooth flaps almost equivalent to a femto second
  laser, thus the post operative vision is very
  good.
• Thinner flaps settle down very quickly with no
  corneal folds and swelling thus the patient
  recovers vision almost immediately that is within
  15 to 20 minutes postoperatively a wow factor
  for SBK lasik. In BLADELESS or BLADEFREE LASIK we
  are using the most advanced ZEISS VISUMAX
  FEMTOSECOND laser machine and we take pride in
  having the first installation in whole of north
  Delhi for this.
• Advantages of FEMTO FLAP on ZEISS machine
  hundred percent blade free lasik. Painfree. Very
  precise and accurate flaps. Fast IT takes only a
  few seconds to make a flap. Least expected
  complications which may occur on other
  technologies besides Zeiss platform. Flap related
  complications associated with microkeratomes are
  minimized or absent with the femtolasik, as it is
  more precise and more accurate. Femto flaps are
  more stronger in nature and fit more snugly to
  the base cornea comparatively.

• THE SECOND STEP TREATING THE CORNEA BENEATH THE
  FLAP WITH EXCIMER LASER
• Here the cornea is reshaped according to the
  refractive status of the patient. various
  profiles currently in use are
• Planolasik it is the basic correction which
  corrects the spherical and cylindrical components
  of the refractive errors. The disadvantages
  include post operative glares and haloes
  especially in higher numbers, the advantage being
  it is cheaper.
• Customised lasik ( clasik ) here a customization
  is attempted to be done according to patients
  corneal and total irregularities called
  abberations ( higher order abberations HOAS).
  however the drawback in most of the systems is
  that they are unable to pick up the abberations
  accurately and after treating them may land up in
  further abberations and problems caused by them.
• Wavefront optimized aspheric lasik.this is
  supposedly the best technology, here the normal
  prolate shape of the cornea is maintained even
  postoperatively which mimics the preoperative
  shape. Advantages include absence or minimal
  postoperative glare and haloes which are a part
  of standard lasik. At BAJAJ EYE CARE CENTRE we
  use an advanced profile of aspheric wavefront
  optimized lasik at ZEISS MEL 80 platform, a
  GERMAN technology which are the world leaders in
  opto electronics.
• Contoura lasik this is just a form of topography
  guided correction lasik and not much different
  from conventional lasik.
