LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a treatment that aids in correcting vision problems.
Through this process, the cornea is reshaped to ensure that the light focuses on the retina, and the vision problem is cured.
The surgery is done using lasers to ensure that the entire procedure is conducted with precision. The aim of LASIK surgery is to ensure that the individuals completely get rid of glasses or contact lenses yet obtain a clear vision.
At the beginning of the surgery, the ophthalmologist conducts an eye examination to understand the shape of the cornea and the overall eye health. During the surgery, a laser is used to create a flap in the corneal region. Next, the cornea is shaped based on the requirement of the patient’s vision problem. After the surgery, the flap is placed in its position by the surgeon. The flap doesn’t require stitches, it naturally heals and bonds with the cornea after the surgery.
LASIK is a convenient and less time taking process, that helps patients to get rid of their glasses or contact lenses. At Shruta Eye Care, LASIK surgery is conducted using the latest devices and modern technological equipment. Our ophthalmologists and staff work as a team to meet our patient’s unique needs and requirements effectively.
