“LASIK Vision Correction” Seeking freedom from glasses or contact lenses.
“No regrets after LASIK” You might have heard this from others, but you should experience this with your own eyes, with the aid of modern technology.
If you have abnormal vision, such as short-sightedness, long-sightedness, astigmatism and so on, you might worry about the need to constantly wear spectacles or contact lenses. This might cause some problems in your life and you might be looking for an answer. LASIK is the solution that will help enable you to take the first step into a more carefree lifestyle!
What is LASIK?
LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis and is the name for laser vision correction. A laser will be used to reshape the cornea to the desired curvature, in order to correct abnormal vision such as short-sightedness, long-sightedness, and astigmatism.
How many types of LASIK surgeries are there?
There are 4 types of LASIK procedures that are popular nowadays:
- LASIK, vision correction by incision of the cornea
- PRK, eye correction without incision of the cornea
- Femto LASIk, eye correction by opening the cornea lid with Femtosecond Laser
- ReLEx SMILE, correcting the eyesight by opening a small wound
Each of these procedures has their own pros and cons. This is why a very thorough eye examination is required, in order to choose the right procedure. We recommend that you consult an ophthalmologist in order to choose the most suitable treatment.
Who can do LASIK?
- People 18 years and older
- People with stable eyesight and changes in vision not more than 50 (0.5D) for at least 1 year, which will reduce the chances of myopia or astigmatism.
- People who are pregnant or breastfeeding are not allowed. Please wait for 2 menstruation cycles to pass before considering LASIK
- People who do not have existing corneal disease or other eye diseases such as macular degeneration, severe dry eyes, or other medical conditions that can affect wound healing (e.g. diabetes, SLE etc.).
- People with thin or fragile corneas should not do LASIK.
