How LASER Eye Surgery Improves Eyesight

With aging, the eye starts losing its elasticity due to which presbyopia occurs. Instead of the temporary solution of putting on bifocal glasses switch to a permanent solution with LASER eye surgery. This surgery is really helpful for correcting both near sightedness and farsightedness effectively with its numerous available options. Being the most successful approach for correcting the vision, it eradicates the necessity of reading glasses and contact lenses completely. 

High Definition Vision Solution

Laser Vision Correction is the innovation of the advanced technological leap in eye care history. This specific technology can be utilized in 2 ways PRK and LASIK. Both of these will be done by a specialist ophthalmologist. Amongst these two, LASIK is the widely-accepted one that can correct a number of vision problems including astigmatism, hyperopia, and myopia.

Although the surgery is very delicate yet comprises a predictable healing rate. Along with your vision stabilization, the discomfort level will get faded away. The driving vision can be obtained only after 24 hours of the surgery.  

Custom LASIK with Intralase

It is completely incision-free process for the creation of corneal flap. Rapid light pulse is sent via computer-guided laser in each quadrillionth second for creating a pre-programming position and depth in cornea. Every pulse is responsible for making microscopic bubble.  

On the laser shifts to and fro in the eye, the bubbles attach among each other for the formation of the corneal flap. Then the flap is lifted up for the use of an excimer laser for reshaping the cornea on the smooth surface made by the connection of bubbles. In the end, you will be able to improve your eyesight with laser eye surgery.

Custom PRK (Surface Ablation)

PRK is the acronym of photorefractive keratectomy and possesses similar LASER process as that of LASIK. The only difference is that preparation of cornea is done to perform any LASER surgery which doesn’t need in this treatment. Removal of surface cell is only done in this procedure followed by application of LASER. That’s why it is known as surface ablation as laser is applied to the corneal surface.

It is chosen if:

• The cornea is so thin for doing LASIK
• Cornea possesses structural abnormality making the LASIK risky
• Existing vision problem which can be eliminated with PRK while improving the vision at the same time

• RLE is identical to that of modern cataract surgery– In this surgery the natural lens of the patient is removed with the help of ultrasound leaving a capsule behind when the prescription IOL will be inserted.
