Best LASIK Surgery in Airoli

The pre-operative steps involved in a LASIK eye surgery are:

• A comprehensive eye examination is conducted by our skilled eye specialists to determine your suitability for LASIK eye surgery.
• The eye specialists will measure the cornea, ask about your medical history, and answer any queries you may have about the surgical procedure.
• The doctor will explain the procedure steps, and the potential risks and benefits associated with the surgery, as well as provide necessary preparatory guidelines, including safety precautions and any medications that should be taken prior to the surgery.
• Most insurance plans do not cover LASIK surgery, since it is usually considered an elective procedure rather than a medical necessity. It is, thus, important to check the procedure's costs before proceeding with treatment.
• You will need to refrain from wearing contact lenses for some weeks prior to both the eye examination and LASIK appointment, as they could alter the shape and structure of the cornea. However, you may continue using your eyeglasses until your LASIK surgery appointment.
• On the day before and the day of LASIK eye surgery, you should avoid using eye makeup, lotions, or creams.
• Ensure that you have arranged for someone to take you home after the surgical treatment.

The different steps involved in the LASIK surgery procedure are:

• Eye drops are first used to numb the eye being treated.
• The surgeon will then place an eyelid holder to prevent blinking of the eye.
• Next, a suction ring is applied to stabilize the eye and prevent movement. You may experience a mild sensation of pressure, comparable to the feeling of a finger pressing firmly against your eyelid.
• Your vision may become blurred or completely dark during this step.
• Using a microkeratome blade or laser, the eye surgeon will create a thin flap in the corneal tissue. This corneal flap is subsequently lifted and folded back.
• You will be instructed to focus on a targeted light source to help keep your eyes steady throughout the surgical procedure.
• The surgeon will then use a laser programmed to modify the shape of the cornea. With each pulse of the laser beam, a small amount of corneal tissue will be removed.
• During the surgery, you may notice a strange odor and hear a clicking noise from the laser.
• Once the reshaping of the cornea is completed, the eye surgeon will reposition the corneal flap to its original place. This flap will naturally adhere within two to three minutes without requiring stitches.
• If LASIK surgery is needed for both eyes, the surgeon will perform the procedure on the same day.

Generally, the entire LASIK surgery process takes under 30 minutes.

Following the LASIK eye surgery procedure, you may expect the following:

• You could experience some burning, watering, and itching of the eyes immediately after the surgery.
• You will have blurred vision post-surgery, but this generally improves the day after the operation.
• Eye drops or pain-relief medications may be prescribed to relieve discomfort following the procedure.
• Avoid rubbing your treated eye to prevent any movement or displacement of the corneal flap.
• Keep your eyes closed for approximately six hours after LASIK treatment.
• An eye shield or patch might be placed over the treated eye to prevent rubbing the treated eye, protect the flap, and prevent pressure on the eye during healing. This patch/shield will usually be needed for a day.
• You will have to wear dark eyeglasses for a minimum of two weeks after surgery to prevent the entry of dust or injury to the treated eye.
• Avoid splashing water on the eye for two weeks post-surgery.
• Visit the eye surgeon for follow-up appointments to check your recovery and manage any complications due to the procedure. These follow-up appointments are generally suggested one day, seven days, and twenty-one days post-surgery.
