Best LASIK Surgery Hospital Thane

The preparatory steps before undergoing LASIK surgery include the following:

• Our skilled eye doctor will first do a thorough eye checkup to assess your eligibility for undergoing LASIK surgery.
• The eye’s cornea will be measured by the doctor. You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history.
• You will be explained in detail about the procedure steps, the potential benefits and risks of surgery, and provide preparation instructions, including medicines and precautions that need to be taken before the surgery.
• Since LASIK surgery is an elective procedure rather than a medical necessity, it is usually not included in most insurance policies. You should inquire about the cost of surgery before undergoing the procedure.
• You have to avoid wearing contact lenses for a couple of weeks before undergoing eye examination and LASIK surgery, as the lenses may change the shape and structure of the cornea. You can continue wearing your eyeglasses till you come for your LASIK surgery appointment.
• You will be asked to avoid the use of eye makeup, lotions, and creams on the day before and the day of the surgery.
• Arrange for a friend or family member to accompany you home after the procedure.

The different steps associated with LASIK eye surgery are:

• The doctor will use eye drops to numb the eye being treated.
• Eye blinking is prevented by the doctor by placing an eyelid holder.
• A suction ring is then used to stabilize the eye and prevent it from moving. You may feel mild pressure while performing this procedure. Your vision will become blurred or black during this time.
• The eye surgeon then uses a laser or microkeratome blade to make a very thin flap in the corneal tissue. The corneal flap will then be lifted and folded in the backward direction.
• You will have to focus on a targeted light source to enable your eyes to remain steady during the surgery.
• A pre-programmed laser is then used to change the shape of the cornea. With each pulse of the laser beam, a small quantity of corneal tissue will be removed.
• You may get a peculiar smell and hear a clicking noise while the laser is being used.
• Once the cornea is reshaped, the eye surgeon will return the corneal flap back to its original place. This flap adheres naturally in approximately two to three minutes without any requirement for stitches.
• If both eyes require LASIK surgery, the surgery will be done at the same time, on the same day.
• The surgical procedure takes less than 30 minutes to complete.

You may expect the following after you undergo LASIK surgery:

• It is normal to have some burning, itching, and watering of the eyes following the surgery.
• Your vision could be hazy or blurred immediately after surgery. Usually, this will improve the day after undergoing surgery.
• You could be prescribed pain-relief medicines or eye drops to avoid any kind of discomfort for many hours after the surgery.
• You should avoid rubbing your eyes to prevent any movement or displacement of the corneal flap.
• Try to keep your eyes closed for approximately six hours after undergoing LASIK surgery.
• Your treated eye may be covered by an eye patch or eye shield. This prevents rubbing of the eye, protects the flap, and avoids any kind of pressure on the treated eye during the healing period. This patch/shield is generally required only for one day.
• You will have to wear dark glasses for a minimum of two weeks after surgery to prevent the entry of dust into the eye and avoid injury.
• Avoid splashing water directly on the treated eye for at least two weeks after LASIK surgery.
• Follow-up appointments with the eye surgeon are recommended one day, seven days, and twenty-one days after the LASIK surgery. During these appointments, the surgeon will check healing and manage any side effects due to the surgery.
