LASIK
is a procedure used to correct or reduce moderate to high
levels of myopia.
 |
In
LASIK, the surgeon creates a flap in the cornea using
a surgical instrument called a microkeratome.
|
 |
The
surgeon uses the laser to remove a micro-thin layer
of tissue from the exposed corneal surface.
|
 |
The
flap is replaced without the need for sutures. |
Who
can undergo LASIK?
Persons above 18 yrs of age with stable refraction for
atleast 6 months & who have no other eye disease.
What is so special about Lasik at
Ahalia?
The Zyoptix Laser work station at Ahalia, is a wave front
Lasik. It involves tailoring the excimer laser treatment to
very small visual irregularities. These are called higher
order aberrations that are specific to each person. Custom
wave
front Lasik technology takes information from corneal topography
maps, and from an instrument called an aberrometer (also called
wave front analyzer) and feeds it directly into the laser.
Wave front Lasik surgery will correct your refractive error
and will also correct the very small optical irregularities
that are found not only on the cornea, but also through the
entire eye. These advances in technology mean that every patient
can be treated as a special case. This technology helps the
patient achieve, what is called as super vision.
