LASIK produces exceptional vision outcomes with a fast recuperation time and minimal pain. For this reason it’s the most often utilized surgical treatment for repairing: short- sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. Lasik surgery is a 2 step process that requires the development of a thin flap within the cornea (front area of your eye) and elimination of a tiny amount of tissue from inside the cornea. Eye surgery produces the corneal shape required to offer crystal clear vision without having eyeglasses or contacts. The corneal flap can be formed with a blade known as a micro- keratome. This flap is normally made while using the latest technology laser referred to as IntraLase®. The IntraLase® laser, with its micron level accuracy, produces the flap with the laser beam with virtually no cutting. There are numerous choices open to our doctors, so there can be some deviation in methods and products used. Your actual lasik treatment is going to be explained to you at length as part of your consultation process.

The procedure layed out below is supplied as a general manual only. Description of the Procedure: The Laser eye treatment procedure will take about 15 minutes for every eye: Your cornea is anaesthetised with eye drops.Your doctor administers anaesthetic eye drops, and applies an instrument known as a lid speculum to keep you from blinking. A corneal flap is established. The flap is comprised of a slim coating of surface corneal tissue. The flap is softly hinged again along the cornea in order to expose the corneal ‘bed’.The corneal bed is re-shaped. Your laser eye surgeon employs an Excimer laser to re-contour the corneal bed specifically to your specific doctor prescribed requirements. The laser utilizes an ultraviolet light beam to precisely vaporise a pre- determined level of tissue across the cornea.The corneal flap is re-positioned. No stitches are needed since the eye has natural suction capacity that holds the flap in place. Antibiotic and anti- inflammatory eye drops are usually utilized. An eye shield is applied to protect the eye as it is in recovery. Both eyes can usually be treated on a single day.
