Lasik

LASIK

Are you tired of struggling to find your glasses or dealing with the hassle of contact lenses? Do you dream of waking up every day with clear, unobstructed vision? Laser vision correction (LASIK or SMILE) may be the solution you’ve been looking for.

 

Signs that you have a Refractive Error

Blurry vision
 
Headaches
 
Eyestrain
 
Distortion of images
 
Clear vision only at specific distances
 

Refractive Errors

According to a WHO report, about 43% of visual impairments are attributed to refractive errors! There are three common refractive errors: Myopia, Hyperopia and Astigmatism.

Myopia

Myopia, or Near-sightedness, is a common vision condition in which near objects appear clear, but objects farther away look blurry.

Hyperopia

Hyperopia, or far-sightedness, is when one can see things that are far away better than things that are up close

Astigmatism

Astigmatism is a common, and generally treatable, vision imperfection in the curvature of the eye that causes blurred distance and near vision.

Ways to get your Refractive Errors treated

Temporary correction

Temporary correction

PRK (Photorefractive keratectomy)

Also known as Surface ablation, PRK is a laser vision correction surgery where the laser is applied directly to the surface of the cornea. This procedure is suitable for people with thin corneas or those who are not good candidates for Lasik.

LASIK

LASIK (Laser In Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular laser vision correction surgery that uses a laser beam to reshape the cornea. This procedure is suitable for people with mild to moderate myopia (near-sightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism.

SMILE

SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is a minimally invasive laser vision correction surgery that uses a laser to create a small lenticule inside the cornea, which is then removed through a small incision. This procedure is suitable for people with myopia & astigmatism.

Phakic IOL

Phakic IOL (Intraocular Lens) is a permanent laser vision correction surgery that involves implanting a lens inside the eye to correct refractive errors. This procedure is suitable for people with high myopia or hyperopia who are not good candidates for other laser vision correction surgeries.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is laser vision correction?

Laser vision correction is a surgical procedure that uses a laser to reshape the cornea of the eye to correct refractive errors, such as near-sightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

How does laser vision correction work?

During the procedure, a laser is used to remove a small amount of corneal tissue to reshape the cornea, which improves the way light is focused on the retina, resulting in clearer vision.

Is laser vision correction safe?

Yes, laser vision correction is generally considered safe and effective, with a low risk of complications.

What are the different types of laser vision correction procedures?

Global Eye Hospital offers several types of laser vision correction procedures, including LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis), PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy), and SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction). Each procedure has its own advantages and is tailored to suit the individual needs of the patient. 

What is the recovery time for laser vision correction?

The recovery time for laser vision correction varies depending on the procedure and the individual. Most people can return to work and other activities within a few days to a week after the procedure.

Who is a good candidate for laser vision correction?

Good candidates for laser vision correction are adults over the age of 18 with stable vision and healthy eyes. Initial tests and scans are required to assess the suitability of each individual for laser vision correction.  

How long does the laser vision correction procedure take?

The laser vision correction procedure usually takes about 15-20 minutes for both eyes. The exact time may vary depending on the patient and the procedure.
