The goal of laser vision correction (LASIK) is to reduce myopia / farsightedness or astigmatism providing similar vision with correction with glasses or contact lenses by reshaping the cornea and this can be done either by:

• Lifting a thin flap of the corneal tissue using a surgical blade (microkeratome device) or using femtosecond laser machine and then reshaping the cornea using an excimer laser

• All laser surface repair 

• Creating a lenticule of cornea tissue by femtosecond laser(FemtoSMILE)

[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Can Lasik treat all refractive errors??” style=”rounded”]

• LASIK treats myopia up to 12 degrees (if the thickness of the cornea is suitable)

• LASIK is suitable for treating farsightedness up to six degrees

• Astigmatism can be treated with LASIK even if it is in large degrees up to six degrees.

• LASIK can also be used to correct visual aberrations and visual aging.

[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Am I Fit for Lasik?” style=”rounded”]The primary goal of laser vision correction operations is safety and efficiency. Therefore, the procedure is carried out only after it is fully certain that these two objectives have been achieved.

Generally there are general rules for the action of LASIK:

• After the age of 18
• Stability of vision over the course of a year
• Ensure the integrity of the cornea by doing topographic rays of the cornea
• Ensure health of all eye tissues (crystalline lens, retina, optic nerve and pressure inside eye)

[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What are Eye Investigations done before LASIK ?” style=”rounded”]Full eye health is checked from visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, intraocular pressure and retina and a complete study of the cornea is done by: dry eye test – pupil test – corneal thickness measurement – corneal topography drawing – visual aberration analysis[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What are the Pre-LASIK precautions?” style=”rounded”]Before LASIK surgery, contact lenses should not be worn for several days before, and no cosmetics should be applied to the eyelids, and also the patient should not use any perfumes on LASIK day because aromatic vapors hinder the laser from penetrating the patient’s eye.[/vc_toggle][tm-custom-heading text=”During LASIK Procedure” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:32px|text_align:center|color:%2312b48b|line_height:35px”][vc_toggle title=”How long dose it take for LASIK procedure?” style=”rounded”]The process of correcting vision with Excimer laser rays takes several minutes in each eye
