Say good-bye to
spectacles and
contact lens.
Isn’t it
uncomfortable
having to wear
glasses all the
time. Don’t u
wish you could
just get rid of
them. And
contact lens
aren't much
better either
with all the
hassle of
wearing and
removing them
everyday, not to
mention the
discomfort and
tiredness of
eyes at the end
of the day when
you have to go
to that party.
Wouldn’t it be
great if you
could end all
these troubles
once and for
all. All this is
possible now
thanks to laser
vision
correction.
Obviously you
would like to
know more about
the procedure so
that you can
make an informed
decision; so we
would like to
answer some of
the questions
you may have
while
considering this
procedure. |

What is Lasik? |

Laser Assisted Stromal Insitu
Keratomileusis [LASIK] is a
method of reshaping the cornea
to correct low, moderate and
high degrees of
near-sightedness, astigmatism
and far-sightedness. It is a
completely painless procedure.
During the treatment, first a
corneal flap is created using an
instrument called the
micro keratometry. The computerized
Excimer laser then uses a cool
beam of light to gently reshape
the cornea so as to alter its
curvature to the desired extent.
The flap is then replaced on the
new corneal curvature. The
changed curvature allows images
to be sharply focused on the
retina giving clear vision. |

Who is a Candidate? |
|
The treatment is for patients
who have a refractive error and
meet certain visual and medical
criteria. In addition the best
candidates tend to be those who
are dissatisfied with their
contact lenses or glasses and
are motivated to make a change,
whether it is due to
occupational or lifestyle
reasons. However, only a
thorough examination by our
LASIK team can evaluate whether
or not you are
medically suited for LASIK. |

|
I am 16 Yrs. Old. Can I have
LASIK done? |
|
No. LASIK should not be
done below 18 yrs of age
because up to this age
growth is continuous and
the refractory power may
still be changing.
Hence, we cannot get a
predictable result with
LASIK below 18 yrs. |

|
Is LASIK Safe? |
|
Yes. When choosing this method
to improve your vision safety
should be your first concern.
It's ours too. New generation
Excimer lasers and advances in
technique offer the highest
degree of accuracy and utmost
safety. Recent studies conducted
internationally and by us show
it to be a very safe and
effective procedure. |
|
Top |
|
Is Lasik Successful? |
|
Yes. LASIK is a permanent
treatment. However, patients who
are 40 years and above may
require reading glasses.
Millions of patients worldwide
and thousands at our centre have
had an Excimer laser refractive
procedure done on them
successfully. During your
consultation we will give you an
idea of the procedure and the
level of vision you can expect. |

|
Does this procedure hurt? |
|
No. There is no pain during the
procedure. There may be mild
discomfort for a few hours after
the procedure. |
|

|
How soon can I return to work? |
|
You will notice an improvement
in vision within 4-6 hours and a
restoration of functional vision
by the next morning. However,
complete recovery may take up to
48 hours. Some people get back
to work the day after treatment.
Two or three days are suggested. |
