Lasik
Generally termed as Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis. Laser treatment is an effective option for eye power correction preferred by several people for over two decades now. The first-ever laser vision correction surgery was performed in Germany in the late 80s. With the help of advancement, this surgery got improved in quality and also in terms of safety and precision.
LASIK treatment:
Laser vision correction is by far the best option to eliminate the dependency on glasses and contact lenses. That is why we here at Patricia facilitate this treatment to our patients and help them to get rid of their glasses.
In this treatment, the shape of the cornea is attributed to the eye power. Some could have short-sight (myopia), long sight (hypermetropia), or blurry vision (astigmatism) depending on the point, where the light from an object is visible, gets focussed inside the eyes. During a laser vision correction surgery, the shape of the cornea is altered in such a way that light entering into the eye is focused at the right spot on the retina. This is a simple procedure and takes less than half an hour from start to finish. Also, one will be able to resume normal life in just a few days. But for a few days, it is needed to take proper care of the eyes to avoid chances of infection.
- There aren’t any bandages or stitches involved
- It’s just pain-free, and there is some sort of it then it will not last for just a few seconds.
- People probably won’t need glasses or contacts as much, or not needed at all after this treatment.
This surgery offers a number of benefits and can improve your quality of life dramatically. Many people still need to wear glasses or lenses following vision correction, though their prescription level is typically lower than before.
While the procedure has an awesome safety profile, LASIK complications may occur and may include night glare or infection. A very small percentage of people need a LASIK “touch up” procedure, a few months after the initial LASIK surgery to accept visual acuity.
