    LASIK Surgery in Bandra: An Overview

    Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, commonly referred to as LASIK, is a widely used, sophisticated method for correcting vision, allowing individuals to eliminate the need for contact lenses and eyeglasses while enhancing their eyesight.
     

    LASIK uses advanced laser technology to alter the shape of the cornea, which is the outermost transparent layer of the eye, addressing the common refractive errors including astigmatism (which causes blurred vision), farsightedness (hyperopia), and nearsightedness (myopia).

    Symptoms of Refractive Errors Corrected by LASIK Surgery

    Refractive error is a common eye issue that arises when the retina, which is a light-sensitive tissue layer at the back portion of the eye, is unable to receive adequate light due to the eye’s shape.

     

    LASIK surgery can help address the following symptoms associated with untreated refractive errors:

     

    • Blurry vision
    • Headaches resulting from squinting or straining to see clearly 
    • Increased glare and halos
    • Vision difficulties with low-light or nighttime vision
    • Eye discomfort or strain, particularly after prolonged computer use or reading
    • Visual distortions
    • Challenges in completing specific activities like reading, engaging in sports, and driving

    LASIK Eye Surgery Procedure

    The following steps are involved in carrying out a LASIK procedure:

    Before having LASIK eye surgery, the following preparations are necessary:

    • At Surya Eye Hospital, our skilled team of eye specialists will perform a comprehensive eye exam to assess your suitability for LASIK surgery. 
    • Our eye doctors will measure your cornea, inquire about your medical history, and address any questions you may have regarding the treatment. 
    • You will be informed about what to expect during and after the procedure. The doctor will also explain the potential benefits and risks related to the surgery and provide instructions to prepare for it, including any needed prescription medications and safety precautions prior to the treatment procedure.
    • Since LASIK surgery is elective in nature and not considered a medical necessity, it is generally not covered by insurance. Therefore, it is important to be aware of the procedure's cost before proceeding with surgery. 
    • It is recommended to discontinue wearing contact lenses for some weeks prior to your eye exam and surgery, as they can alter the structure of the cornea. You can wear eyeglasses up until the LASIK procedure appointment. 
    • To reduce the likelihood of infections, you should refrain from using eye makeup, lotions, or creams on the day prior to and the day of the LASIK treatment.
    • Please arrange for someone to take you home safely after your LASIK surgery.

    The LASIK eye surgery procedure involves the following steps:

    • Eye drops will initially be applied to numb the eye. 
    • Following that, the eye surgeon will place an eyelid holder to prevent blinking.
    • The eye will be stabilized using a suction ring to prevent it from moving. You might feel little pressure, similar to a finger pressing firmly against the eyelid. At this time, your vision may become blurry or totally black. 
    • The surgeon will then create a very thin flap in the corneal tissue using a laser or microkeratome. Subsequently, the flap is lifted and folded back. 
    • To help keep your eyes steady during the procedure, you will be directed to focus on a target light. 
    • A laser will then be used by the surgeon. This laser is programmed to change the shape of the cornea. With each pulse of the laser beam, a small amount of corneal tissue will be removed. 
    • As the laser operates, you may hear a clicking sound and detect a peculiar odor.
    • Once the cornea has been reshaped, the eye surgeon will return the flap to its original position. The flap adheres naturally within two to three minutes, eliminating the need for stitches. 
    • If LASIK surgery is needed in both eyes, the eye doctor will perform the procedure on the same day. 
    • The LASIK procedure usually takes less than half an hour to complete. 

    Surya Eye Hospital provides comfortable and painless LASIK treatment in Bandra under the expert care of the leading LASIK surgeon in Bandra.

    After having LASIK surgery, the following may be expected:

    • It is normal to feel some burning, watering of the eyes, and itching immediately after the procedure. 
    • You might experience hazy or blurry vision post-surgery, but generally, this blurred vision improves the day after the surgery. 
    • The eye doctor may prescribe pain-relieving medicines or eye drops to help you feel comfortable for many hours after the LASIK treatment. 
    • Do not rub the treated eye to prevent any movement or displacement of the flap.
    • Try to keep your eyes closed for six hours following LASIK surgery. 
    • An eye patch or eye shield may be placed over the eye that has undergone treatment to enable the protection of the flap, avoid eye rubbing, and prevent unnecessary pressure on the eye during the healing period. This generally takes just one day.
    • It is recommended to wear dark glasses when going out for a minimum of two weeks after LASIK treatment to avoid exposure of the treated eye to any dust or injury.
    • Avoid splashing water on the treated eye for at least two weeks after LASIK.
    • Go for recommended follow-up appointments. These appointments are usually scheduled one day, one week, and three weeks after the treatment. The doctor will check the healing and manage any side effects due to treatment during these appointments.
    Types of LASIK Surgery

    At Surya Eye Hospital, we offer five different types of LASIK eye surgeries, including the following:

    Risks of LASIK Eye Surgery

    Although LASIK surgery is usually regarded as a safe procedure, it could cause some side effects and complications, like:

     

    • Dryness of eyes
    • Pain in the treated eye
    • Under or overcorrections
    • Infection
    • Blurred vision (astigmatism)
    • Double vision
    • Glare or halo
    • Temporary distorted vision
    • Excess flap tear
    • Gradual return of the original refractive error 
    • Vision loss (extremely rare)
    Our Technology

    At Surya Eye Hospital, we provide access to advanced eye care technology and tools to provide the best LASIK surgery in Bandra. We are equipped with the following key technologies and equipment:

     

    • Excimer Lasers
    • Femtosecond Lasers
    • Orbscan Topography
    • Pachymetry
    • Pentacam Topography
    • Aberrometry
    • Zero Compression Keratome
    • Contoura LASIK System
    • Epi Contoura LASIK System
    • ALLEGretto Wave
    • WaveFront System
    • IntraLase FS Laser
    Custom LASIK

    This method uses a wavefront analyzer to develop a tailored treatment strategy for every procedure. A custom LASIK treatment enables achieving a sharper, clearer, and better quality of vision.

     

    In LASIK surgery, an aberrometer or wavefront analyzer accurately measures how light is traveling through the patient’s eye. The laser used for treating the eye with the help of a customized 3D map is programmed according to the measurements made and the resulting eye map.

     

    A custom LASIK procedure enhances vision quality, particularly at night time, and corrects slight imperfections (higher-order aberrations) within the eye’s optical system.

    Differences Between Conventional LASIK and Custom LASIK

    Although the techniques used in custom LASIK and traditional LASIK are similar, the pre-operative assessments differ. Recommended evaluations prior to custom LASIK include Aberrometry, Pachymetry, and Topography.

     

    In addition to addressing issues like glare and halos at night, the incorporation of a wavefront analyzer in custom LASIK provides important data that improves precision and quality of vision.

    What is the Cost of LASIK Eye Surgery in Bandra?

    The LASIK eye surgery cost in Bandra generally falls between INR 20,000 and INR 1,00,000. However, the LASIK surgery cost in Bandra will vary based on many factors, like:

    LASIK Alternatives

    The eye specialists at Surya Eye Hospital recognize that LASIK eye surgery may not be appropriate for every patient. 

     

    Our experienced eye doctors conduct thorough assessments to explore various treatment alternatives, including LASIK surgery, for correcting vision. The various alternatives to LASIK surgery are:

     

    • Photorefractive Keratectomy/PRK: Patients having thin corneas may not be able to undergo LASIK surgery. A surface laser ablation technique known as photorefractive keratectomy is used in such cases to address the refractive errors.
    • LASEK: This minimally invasive procedure is recommended for those with flat or thin corneas. During this process, an alcohol solution is used to soften the cornea, which is then gently peeled back without the need for a blade or a laser. Following this, a single laser is used for reshaping the cornea.
    • Implantable Collamer Lens/ICL: They offer a safe and effective alternative to LASIK for patients with very thin corneas, severe hyperopia, or significant myopia. This involves placing implantable lenses within the eye for permanent vision correction, operating similarly to contact lenses.
    • Phakic Intraocular Lens Implants: In this procedure, an artificial lens is inserted between the cornea and iris of the eye, without any cutting or peeling of corneal layers. Although the lens is meant to be permanent, the eye doctor can remove it if needed.
    • Clear Lens Exchange/CLE: This procedure can correct refractive errors by substituting the natural lens with an artificial one.
    • Small Incision Lenticule Extraction/SMILE: A tiny, lens-shaped tissue known as a lenticule is created within the cornea using a minimally invasive refractive surgical technique, and this lenticule is subsequently removed using a small incision.
    • Refractive Lens Exchange/RLE: This form of lens refractive surgery is used for patients whose vision starts to decline with age.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    The LASIK eye surgery outcomes are normally permanent in nature, but its benefits may reduce over time. However, for most people, the outcomes last lifelong.

    No, a LASIK eye surgeon will use numbing eyedrops before starting the LASIK procedure to make the treatment painless. Some pressure may be felt while undergoing the procedure, but usually, there will be no pain.

    Some patients experience blurred vision for up to six months after LASIK treatment. This is because of dry eyes. However, most patients will notice an improvement in blurred vision one to two days after undergoing LASIK eye surgery. 

    Eye doctors recommend using artificial tears and frequent resting of eyes to prevent dry eyes and blurred vision after LASIK surgery

    Most patients undergoing LASIK surgery notice an improvement in vision within one day of undergoing the procedure. It could, however, take approximately 3 to 6 months for the treated eye to heal and recover completely.
