Lasik Eligibility

Eligibility for Lasik surgery as well as Laser Cataract Removal is determined through a series of comprehensive eye exams conducted by our experienced Lasik surgeons. These exams assess various factors, including the thickness of your cornea, the stability of your prescription, and overall eye health, to determine if Lasik is the right option for you. Specialized tests such as corneal topography, wavefront analysis, and pupil size measurement are integral parts of our evaluation process. These advanced diagnostics help us customize the Lasik procedure to suit your unique visual needs, ensuring the best possible outcome.

Diagnostic Technologies for Lasik Treatment

At Shree Ramkrishna Netralaya, we utilize cutting-edge technologies to ensure precise diagnostics and successful Lasik treatments:

Wavefront Aberrometry

Measures how light waves travel through the eye to create a detailed map for customized treatment.

Corneal Topography

Provides a 3D map of the cornea’s surface, essential for planning the Lasik procedure.

Pachymetry

Measures the thickness of the cornea to assess suitability for Lasik.

OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)

Offers high-resolution imaging of the eye's structures to ensure detailed evaluation.

Pentacam

A comprehensive eye scanner that provides critical information about corneal thickness and curvature.

Lasik Treatment Options

We offer various Lasik treatment options tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient:

Femto Lasik (Bladeless Lasik) Surgery

Femto LASIK, or Bladeless LASIK, uses a femtosecond laser for the corneal flap, enhancing precision and safety. The cornea is reshaped to correct vision issues, providing predictable outcomes and reducing risks compared to traditional bladed LASIK.

Contoura Vision (Topography-guided LASIK) Surgery

Contoura Vision (Topography-Guided LASIK) Surgery is an advanced procedure that uses detailed corneal mapping to customize LASIK treatment. It corrects individual irregularities, improving visual acuity, reducing glare, and providing better visual quality.

Streamlight Lasik (No Touch Bladeless LASIK) Surgery

This is an advanced LASIK surgery using a femtosecond laser for a precise corneal flap without a blade. This approach enhances safety, allows customization of flap size and shape, and promotes faster visual recovery. Benefits include improved predictability, reduced infection risk, and increased patient satisfaction. Eligibility depends on individual eye health and refractive needs, requiring a consultation with an experienced eye surgeon.

PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) Surgery

PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) surgery is a refractive eye procedure that uses an excimer laser to reshape the cornea's surface, correcting vision problems. Unlike LASIK, it removes the cornea's outer layer and has a slightly longer recovery time. PRK is recommended for patients with thinner corneas or those ineligible for LASIK.

MICROKERATOME Lasik Surgery

Microkeratome LASIK is a traditional approach using a microkeratome blade to create the corneal flap for vision correction. It has been successful but is less common now due to newer, safer bladeless LASIK options available. Consultation with an eye care professional is essential for eligibility assessment.

Recovery After Lasik Surgery

The recovery period after Lasik surgery is generally quick, with most patients experiencing improved vision within 24 hours. However, it's essential to follow your surgeon's instructions for post-operative care to ensure the best results. This includes attending all follow-up appointments, using prescribed eye drops to prevent infection and inflammation, and avoiding strenuous activities for a few weeks. During the recovery phase, you may need to wear protective eyewear, especially at night, and avoid rubbing your eyes. Temporary side effects like dry eyes or mild discomfort are normal and typically resolve within a few weeks.
