Lasik Laser

Laser eye treatment as an option for eye power correction has been in vogue for over two decades now. The first laser vision correction was performed in Germany in the late 80s, and since then, there’ve been major advancements that have improved the quality of the surgery in terms of safety and precision. While laser eye treatment is primarily used for correcting refractive errors, laser technology has been put to good use in cataract and retinal treatments as well.

Lasik Laser surgery is a type of refractive surgery that is used to correct vision problems. It is a safe and effective procedure that has been approved by the FDA. Lasik surgery can be used to treat a variety of different vision problems, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

Which conditions can LASIK treat ?

Lasik is a 10-minute painless surgery that may help you get rid of contact lenses and glasses. LASIK is quite effective in treating refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

Undergoing LASIK surgery can help you to avoid wearing eyeglasses and contact lenses. Nowadays, several people tend to undergo LASIK eye surgery because of its benefits and minimal or no risks.

LASIK Surgery Procedure

At LASIK HUB, we use all types of LASIK to correct refractive errors, including conventional LASIK, PRK, Wavefront guided Laser vision correction, and others. The procedure involves the following steps:

• The doctor puts eye drops in your eyes to numb them. Then a lid speculum is placed inside the eyes to hold them open.
• A suction ring is placed over the eyes to restrict cornea movements.
• Then the surgeon places the laser over the eye to remove the flap over the cornea. In standard LASIK, the flap is created using a scalpel.
• Once the flap is removed, the laser incises tiny portions of the cornea to reshape it until the ideal shape is achieved.
• To correct myopia, the cornea is flattened a little bit, and to correct hyperopia, the cornea is made steep.
• After reshaping, the flap is placed back in the original position without any stitches and left to heal naturally.

The corneal correction itself takes only 10 minutes, and the preparation takes around 15-20 minutes. Overall, the treatment takes around 30 minutes, and you can go back home on the same day.
