Lasik Eye Surgery in Ghatkopar - Mumbaieyecare

 

LASIK surgery involves three basic steps:

  • Flap elevation – A mechanical surgical tool called a microkeratome or a femtosecond laser is used to create a thin, circular flap in the cornea. The surgeon then folds back this hinged flap to access the underlying cornea.
  • Corneal reshaping – An excimer laser is used to reshape the corneal surface. This highly specialized laser uses a cool ultraviolet light beam to remove small amounts of tissue from the cornea to reshape it.
  • Flap closure – The corneal flap is laid back in place, where it adheres to the corneal stroma without stitches.

Am I an Ideal candidate for LASIK?

IS LASIK for everyone? the answer is no. Just like any other surgery, LASIK also has some indications and contraindications. LASIK is not suitable for people below 18 years of age.

Medical conditions also affects treatment outcomes .Your eye doctor will ask your medical history because certain advanced autoimmune diseases, such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, may influence postoperative healing.

Certain conditions like dry eyes, Glaucoma or cataracts may need a change in treatment course. In addition, certain diseases such as diabetes or HIV can cause additional concerns for a LASIK operation. Talk to your doctor about any other health concerns that you have.

If your prescription eyeglasses have been stable for a year or two, you are having good chances of successful LASIK.

Patients with thin corneas, large pupils, or previous corneal surgeries are also taken into consideration to predict outcomes.

Keratoconus Treatment In Ghatkopar

  Keratoconus is a vision disorder that occurs when the normally round cornea (the front part of the eye) becomes thin and irregular (cone) shaped. This abnormal shape prevents the light entering the eye from being focused correctly on the   retina   and causes distortion of vision. It is characterized by para-central corneal thinning and ectasia so that the cornea takes the shape of a cone. Visual loss occurs primarily from myopia and irregular astigmatism and secondarily from corneal scarring.   Keratoconus   often begins at puberty and most often is seen in teenagers or young adults.
