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.

LASIK EYE SURGERY IN INDORE:

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. It is an outpatient surgical procedure that takes around 10-15 minutes for each eye and the patient is able to see again within hours after the surgery. The actual laser exposure is less than a minute for each eye. HOW DOES LASIK WORK? LASIK works on the principle of sculpting and remodelling of cornea using Excimer Laser(an ultraviolet laser) which delivers the laser correction(Photoblation) into the thickness of cornea.

How to Find the Right Contact Lenses

Image
Contact lenses have come a long way and offer some exciting options. You can bat a pair of baby blues one day, then flash golden tiger eyes the next. You can even toss disposable lenses in the trash each night. For people with vision problems, contacts remain an effective, almost invisible tool. The thin plastic lenses fit over your cornea -- the clear, front part of your eye -- to correct vision problems including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. You can wear contacts even if you have presbyopia and need bifocals. Talk to your eye doctor about the best type of lenses for you. Get regular eye exams to keep your peepers healthy and make sure your prescription stays up to date. Soft Contact Lenses They’re made from a special type of plastic mixed with water.

What are the different types of intraocular lenses implanted after cataract surgery?

Image
As the natural lens plays a vital role in focusing light for clear vision, artificial-lens implantation at the time of cataract surgery is necessary to yield the best visual results. Because the implant is placed in or near the original position of the removed natural lens, vision can be restored, and peripheral vision, depth perception, and image size should not be affected. Artificial lenses are intended to remain permanently in place, require no maintenance or handling, and are neither felt by the patient nor noticed by others. There are a variety of intraocular lens styles available for implantation, including monofocal, toric, and multifocal intraocular lenses. Monofocal lens: These lenses are the most commonly implanted lenses today. They have equal power in all regions of the lens and can provide high-quality vision at a single focal point (usually at distance). They usually require only a light pair of spectacles for optimal distance vision correction. However,
