Lasik Refractive Eye Surgery in Mumbai
Refractive surgery aims to correct vision problems like nearsightedness,
farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Symptoms
- Blurry vision
- Difficulty seeing clearly at near or far distances
- Dependence on glasses or contact lenses
Causes
Abnormal shape of the cornea (the clear front part of your eye).
Treatment
- LASIK (Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis): Most common, uses a laser to reshape the cornea.
- PRK (Photorefractive keratectomy): Removes the outer layer of the cornea before reshaping it with a laser.
- SMILE (Small incision lenticule extraction): Newer technique using a laser to create a lenticule within the cornea and remove it.
- ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens): Implants a lens inside the eye to correct vision.
Important points:
- Not for everyone – requires thorough evaluation by an ophthalmologist
- Not a permanent solution – vision may change over time
- Carries potential risks like dry eyes and temporary vision fluctuations.
Benefits:
- Improved vision without glasses or contacts.
- Increased freedom and convenience
- Generally safe and effective for suitable candidates
