LASIK is a surgical procedure in which the cornea is reshaped so as to give clarity to vision and brings back the vision to normal so that you don't have to wear glasses or contact lens. The procedure is done with the excimer laser and it is a very safe procedure and does not weekend the cornea. The LASIK is mainly done for people who are above the age of 18 years and it helps to remove dependency on wearing glasses and contact lenses. It is a one-time procedure and it takes about 10 to 15 minutes to do the treatment and after the treatment the person has to rest about 3 to 4 hours after which vision get back to normal. The complete Restoration of vision is within 24-48 hours. This procedure is done both on males and as well as females above the age of 18 years and it is done so as to get rid of glasses and contact lenses. LASIK is done to remove the numbers of the glasses and it could either due to myopia that is minus numbers for plus number which is hyperopia and cylindrical number which is elastic matter. All the three conditions can be corrected with the Lasik procedure. How is Lasik is done I am going to explain briefly on the video here so the LASIK procedure is done on the front surface of the eye which is called the cornea in this procedure the cornea surface is treated with the excimer laser the curvature of the cornea is altered and flattened giving rise to the focusing of the light rays on the retina this helps to reduce the dependence on glasses and on Contact lenses and it eliminates both the condition the procedure is done in the laser room and The excimer laser is used. It is done just by putting eye drops anesthetic eyedrops the patient has to sit under the table of the laser machine and It is a fully computerized device. Where the eye is first properly focused on the laser machine Once the focusing is done, then the laser is applied on the front surface, which is the corneal surface. Once the corneal flap is made the laser is given in the inner layers of the cornea the amount of laser given depends upon the amount of Refractive error or the number here you can see that the excimer laser is given to reshape the corneal surface all this takes only few second and not more than 32 to 40 seconds the whole procedures complete the latest technology in laser surgery is blade free Lasik where we use femtosecond laser to make the corneal flap it is very precise and it goes in the inner layers of the cornea and separates the tissues without cutting them so it does not weaken the cornea and maintain the strength of the cornea. This is done with the femtosecond laser and Ojas Eye Hospital is proud to say that we are the first in western India to do this kind of treatment and offer blade free Lasik to all those spectacle wearers and contact lens user.
