Refractive
treatments is gaining popularity in India both
among the public as well as among ophthalmologists.
Till a few years ago only a few centers performed
high volume radial keratotomy. Today, the highest
international quality of eye care for cornea,
cataract, squint and glaucoma is available in
various centers all over India. When it comes
to reliability, India has the best ophthalmic
surgeons with clinico-academic expertise honed
to perfection in the best possible institutions.
The No Stitch
Cataract Surgery with the most modern way of
removing cataract through the use of Phacoemulsification
procedure can be performed in India.
Lasik
Eye Surgery
The success of laser vision correction or LASIK depends
on a multitude of factors, primary being the expertise
of the doctor along with a good laser technology in an
International standard set up of hygiene and care with
stringent eligibility criteria. WavefrontLASIK or custom LASIK is the most advanced
LASIK method today. It can be performed using various
lasers. The speed of the laser and its applications are
very important in delivering results. Today, Eye Hospitals in India use the
worlds fastest laser the 400.
Laser
Spot Size
The small laser spot size enables fine complex treatment patterns. Smaller the size,
finer the treatment. Hospitals in India have smallest laser spot sizes in the
world so far.
Speed
Lasik Surgery treatment shortens the time remarkably.
It is because of the reason that shortened corneal exposure time allows faster visual recovery. The rapid
rate is vital to maintain corneal hydration intra-operatively,
especially in wavefront guided procedures with
larger optical zones where a prolonged treatment
time could adversely affect the planned treatment
profile. A simple principle in laser refractive
surgery is to keep the eye as physiologically
hydrated as possible intra-operatively for a faster
visual recovery. Hence, faster speed lasers have
better visual outcomes.
Optical Zone
Ideally the laser should have the widest treatment
area that also removes the least tissue possible.
Eye Tracking speed
The eye is kept fixed with the laser during treatment.
However there are fine saccadic eye movements
not seen by naked eye. Proper equipment should be used so as to avoid laser being stopped.
Evaluation of a Candidate
for Lasik Eye Surgery
The doctor
evaluates pupil size, dryness of eyes, corneal
thickness, topographies etc Thickness of the cornea is a very important
aspect of screening. This should be done with a digital
pachymetry test, which would determine if your
eye is suitable for LASIK or not.
No contact lens wear for 5 days
to a week before going for evaluation. This is because the lenses sit straight
on top of the cornea and flatten it. The doctor needs accurate
measurements.
The procedure of evaluation
takes an hour and a half.
After the evaluation, if the
patient is found suitable enough for the Lasik procedure
then the LASIK procedure takes just about 20 mins
in all and normally both eyes are done in one sitting.
The laser treatment itself is very short. Laser
treats one dioptre in 2.5 secs approx., so the actual treatment
even for numbers like minus 12 takes approx. 30 secs.
The patient can go home immediately
after being explained the after care of eye drops.
