What is Lasik surgery? Why do you need one?
Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis’ or Lasik, is the most widely used laser vision correction method worldwide. It is the most preferred way to eliminate your dependency on glasses or contact lenses. In this process, a laser is used to adjust the shape of the cornea so that the light projected into the eyes is projected at the right spot on the retina.
It does not matter if you are nearsighted, farsighted, or astigmatic; Lasik can effectively end your need for glasses or contact lenses. Imagining a life where you don’t have to wear your contact lenses is worth undergoing Lasik surgery. One can undergo various Lasik surgeries, depending solely on the patient’s eye power and history. It is a quick process that takes less than 10 minutes to complete. Additionally, you’ll be able to return to your regular life in a few days.
HOW DO YOU QUALIFY FOR A LASIK SURGERY?
To know the right time to undergo Lasik surgery, you must consider the following facts and evaluate yourself accordingly.
- Anyone with eye power between -10.0 and +6.0 can have LASIK if their cornea is thick enough.
- It is typically advised to get LASIK after 18 years of age. But the eye power should be stable for the last six months.
- One should be aware of all the pre-surgery tests like aberrometry, pachymetry, pentagram, and topography and qualify for these tests to begin the procedure.
- When higher accuracy is required, wavefront-guided customized LASIK, commonly known as C-LASIK, is preferred. There will be improved contrast and sharpness using this method.
- Without using a blade, LASIK can also be performed with the help of a Femto laser which improves precision and safety to a great margin.
