LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis)
LASIK is a popular and advanced surgical procedure used to correct refractive vision problems, including myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. The goal of LASIK surgery is to reshape the cornea to improve the way light is focused on the retina, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses.
At Desai Eye Institute, LASIK is performed using a precise laser to reshape the cornea. The procedure begins with the application of numbing eye drops to ensure patient comfort. A thin flap is created in the cornea using either a microkeratome (a surgical blade) or a femtosecond laser. Once the flap is lifted, a highly focused excimer laser is used to reshape the underlying corneal tissue, correcting refractive errors. After reshaping, the flap is repositioned, where it naturally adheres without stitches.
The procedure is typically quick, pain-free, and has a fast recovery time. Most patients experience improved vision within a few days. LASIK is ideal for patients who are looking for a permanent solution to vision problems and is performed after thorough preoperative evaluations to ensure suitability for the procedure.
Medical Equipment Needed for LASIK
- Femtosecond Laser or Microkeratome (for creating the corneal flap)
- Excimer Laser (for reshaping the cornea)
- Slit Lamp (for preoperative and postoperative examination)
- Pupil Dilation Drops (if required for better corneal imaging)
- Numbing Eye Drops (to ensure patient comfort during the procedure)
- Sterile Gloves
- Patient Headrest or Chin Rest (for stable positioning during the procedure)
- Eye Shield or Protective Goggles (for post-surgery protection)
- Disinfectants (for equipment sterilization)
