What to expect during LASIK?

During the procedure you’ll be awake, but you may receive a sedative medication to help you relax. It won’t be painful, but you might feel some tugging or pressure on your eye.

The basic steps in the procedure are as follows:

1. Anesthetic eye drops are placed in both eyes to numb them.
2. Your eye is held open with an eyelid holder.
3. A flap is made in the outer layer of your cornea using a small blade or a laser. This is when you might feel some pressure and discomfort.
  • Conventional (bladed) LASIK.     A device called a microkeratome is placed on your eye. It consists of a ring attached to a very small blade. Suction from the ring lifts your cornea and the blade cuts a flap.
  • All-laser LASIK. A femtosecond laser sends out energy pulses toward your cornea that gently lifts its outer layer. It then makes a cut, creating a flap.

4.  The flap is gently lifted.
5. Your cornea is reshaped using one of the following techniques
  • Excimer laser. This is used to remove tissue from your cornea. The amount removed is based on your eyeglass or contact prescription.
  • Custom (wavefront) laser. Your eye’s unique characteristics are analyzed using light waves and a detailed map of your eye is created. A laser is used to remove tissue from your cornea. The amount of tissue removed is based on the map.
6. The flap is placed back in its original position where it will heal naturally without stitches.

Immediately after the procedure your eye may itch and burn. Your vision will be blurry at first, but it should become clearer by the following day.

You may be prescribed some eye drops to help your eye heal and stay moist. You’ll also be given an eye shield to cover and protect your eye.

You’ll have a follow-up visit with your doctor a few days after the procedure to make sure your eye is healing well and there aren’t any complications.

It usually takes 2 to 3 months for your eye to completely heal and your vision to stabilize. Until then, you shouldn’t wear contacts or eye makeup. You should also avoid contact sports, hot tubs, and swimming.

WHAT IS LASIK? Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis(LASIK), is a surgical procedure which is used for correction of vision in people suffering from refractive defects such as Myopia(Near-sightedness), Hypermetropia(Far-sightedness), and Astigmatism(Corneal Defect). LASIK surgery provides reduction in the power or even freedom from spectacles to the patients and is of great aid in gaining self-confidence as well. LASIK is now one of the most common surgical procedures around the world and is widely used for correction of refractive disorders.

Cataract Symptoms

Image
Having cataracts is often compared to looking through a foggy windshield of a car or through the dirty lens of a camera. Cataracts may cause a variety of complaints and visual changes, including blurred vision, difficulty with glare (often with bright sun or automobile headlights while driving at night), dulled color vision, increased nearsightedness accompanied by frequent changes in eyeglass prescription, and occasionally double vision in one eye. Some people notice a phenomenon called "second sight" in which one's reading vision improves as a result of their increased nearsightedness from swelling of the cataract. A change in glasses may help initially once vision begins to change from cataracts; however, as cataracts continue to progress and opacify, vision becomes cloudy and stronger glasses or contact lenses will no longer improve sight. Cataracts are usually gradual and usually not painful or associated with any eye redness or other symptoms unless they becom...
