What Is
Lasik Eye Surgery?

LASIK eye surgery is a corrective procedure for different retractive visual problems, especially myopia (nearsightedness) and hyperopia (farsightedness). It also corrects astigmatism.

LASIK is short for Laser-Assisted In-situ Keratomileusis. It uses laser surgery to correct your vision problems by only reshaping the cornea and how it projects lights to the retina.

After LASIK eye surgery, you will be able to see, distinguish faces and improve your vision without eye lenses. That makes LASIK one of the most popular treatments in Eye Consultants Center.

How The LASIK Procedure Is Performed?

Prior to the treatment Anesthetic eye drops are applied to the eye. An eyelid holder is used to prevent the eye from blinking during the procedure

____________
The
Treatment
Steps

STEP 1

PREPARING THE TREATMENT

A microkeratome is positioned in preparation of the flap cut.

STEP 2

CREATING THE FLAP

The microkeratome creates a flap, a hinged corneal piece of tissue.

STEP 3

FOLDING BACK THE FLAP

The flap is gently folded back, exposing the inner corneal tissue to be treated.

STEP 4

CORRECTING THE ERROR

An excimer laser reshapes the corneal tissue, correcting the refractive error.

STEP 5

REPOSITIONING THE FLAP

The flap is returned to its original position, protecting the eye like a natural bandage.

Laser Treatment for Eyesight Using The Ultra-LASIK Technique:

Ultra lasik is a surgical technique superior to Lasik where a very thin corneal flap (100 µm) is created and reshaped for each patient using an optimized excimer laser software to correct for short sight, astigmatism, long sight and presbyopia. The advantage over conventional Lasik technique is fast healing and quick visual recovery, so patients can resume their daily lives within 24-48 hours. If a patient is not a candidate for Ultra Lasik, a special lens (Intraocular Lenses) can be implanted inside the eye to correct the vision.

Frequently Asked Question

If you are considering LASIK surgery, you probably have many questions. Some of the most frequent ones are addressed here. This information is not intended to replace consultation with your eye doctor.

Eligibility for Laser Vision Correction depends on many factors. Only your eye doctor can determine whether Femto-LASIK or possibly another treatment option is best suited for you.
The fast and highly precise femtosecond laser enables the surgeon to quickly and predictably create a hinged corneal flap without a blade. The patient is then comfortably relocated to the excimer laser to complete the treatment.
If you wear contact lenses, most surgeons recommend switching to glasses a few weeks before surgery. You are advised not to apply makeup, lotions or perfume the day you have surgery. Also, it is suggested that you arrange to have someone bring you home afterward.
The treatment procedure itself only takes about 10 minutes for both eyes. What happens after surgery? A protective bandage or eye shield is placed over the eye to avoid rubbing it. Eye drops and possibly other medication may be prescribed to prevent infection and aid the healing process. A post-op examination the next day is customary, as are further examinations for the following weeks or months.
You will be able to resume most of your normal activities and return to work within the first week.
Complete visual recovery usually takes two to three days.
Complications after Femto-LASIK surgery are rare, but cannot be completely ruled out. Your eye doctor at Eye Consultants Center will discuss these with you.
