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.
