Introduction to Laser Eye Surgery: Laser eye surgery is a revolutionary procedure designed to correct vision problems such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. Using advanced laser technology, this surgery reshapes the cornea to improve the way light is focused on the retina, resulting in clearer vision. At Swastik Eye Institute, we offer state-of-the-art laser eye surgery to help you achieve the best possible vision.
Benefits of Laser Eye Surgery:
- Quick and Efficient: The procedure typically takes about 15 minutes for both eyes and involves minimal discomfort.
- Rapid Recovery: Most patients notice improved vision immediately and can return to their normal activities within a day or two.
- Long-Lasting Results: Laser eye surgery offers permanent vision correction, though natural aging processes can still affect vision over time.
- Freedom from Eyewear: Many patients achieve 20/20 vision or better, significantly reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses.
Who is a Good Candidate for Laser Eye Surgery?
- Individuals over 18 years old with stable vision for at least one year.
- Those with common refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism.
- People with healthy corneas and overall good eye health.
- Individuals who are not pregnant or nursing.
A comprehensive eye examination at Swastik Eye Institute will help determine if laser eye surgery is right for you.
The Laser Eye Surgery Procedure at Swastik Eye Institute:
- Initial Consultation: During your initial consultation, our experienced ophthalmologists will conduct a thorough eye examination, including corneal mapping, to assess your suitability for laser eye surgery.
- Pre-Procedure Preparation: On the day of the procedure, numbing eye drops will be administered to ensure your comfort. You will be positioned under the laser, and a special instrument will be used to keep your eye open.
- Corneal Reshaping: Depending on the type of laser eye surgery (such as LASIK, PRK, or SMILE), the procedure will involve reshaping the cornea using an excimer laser. This precise process corrects the refractive error, allowing light to focus correctly on the retina.
- Post-Procedure Care: After the procedure, you will receive eye drops to prevent infection and inflammation, and protective shields to wear while sleeping. Follow-up visits will be scheduled to monitor your healing and ensure optimal results.
