Best LASIK Surgery in Mulund

The following are the preparation steps needed before undergoing LASIK surgery:

• An extensive eye checkup is first done by our experienced eye doctors to check if you are eligible for LASIK eye surgery.
• The eye doctors will measure the eye’s cornea, check your medical history, and answer any questions you may have regarding the surgical procedure.
• The doctor will explain the steps of the procedure, the possible risks and benefits of the surgery, and give appropriate preparatory instructions, including safety tips and medications that need to be taken before the procedure.
• Most insurance providers do not include LASIK surgery in their policy program as it is generally an elective procedure and not a medical requirement. It is, therefore, important to inquire about the cost of the procedure before undergoing treatment.
• You will need to stop wearing contact lenses for a few weeks before the eye checkup and LASIK appointment, as they could change the cornea’s shape and structure. You may, however, continue to wear your eyeglasses till you arrive for your LASIK appointment.
• You should avoid using eye makeup, creams, and lotions on the day before and day of the LASIK surgery.
• Arrange for a person to take you home after the treatment.

The various steps involved in the LASIK surgery process are as follows:

• The eye being treated is first numbed using eye drops.
• An eyelid holder is then placed by the surgeon to prevent the eye from blinking.
• The eye is then stabilized with the help of a suction ring to prevent the eye from moving. You could experience mild pressure, which is similar to the pressure felt when a finger presses firmly against the eyelid. During this time, your vision could turn blurred or completely black.
• The eye surgeon will then use a microkeratome or laser to create an extremely thin flap in the corneal tissue. The corneal flap is then lifted and folded backward.
• You will be asked to focus on a targeted light to help keep your eyes steady during the surgical procedure.
• The surgeon now uses a laser that is programmed to change the cornea shape. With every pulse of the laser beam, a tiny quantity of corneal tissue is removed.
• During the procedure, you could smell a peculiar odor and hear a clicking sound from the laser.
• After the reshaping of the cornea is done, the eye surgeon returns the corneal flap back to its original position. This flap will adhere naturally within two or three minutes without any need for stitches.
• If both eyes need a LASIK procedure, the eye surgeon will do the surgical procedure on the same day.
• LASIK surgery completion normally takes less than 30 minutes.

You can expect the following after undergoing LASIK surgery:

• You may experience some itching, burning, and watering of the eyes immediately after LASIK surgery.
• You could have blurred or hazy vision after surgery. Generally, the blurred vision will improve the day following the surgery.
• You may be prescribed eye drops or pain-relief medications to avoid discomfort for several hours after the procedure.
• Avoid rubbing the treated eye to prevent the displacement or movement of the corneal flap.
• Try and keep your eyes closed for about six hours after LASIK treatment.
• An eye shield or eye patch could be placed over the treated eye to avoid rubbing the eye, protect the flap, and avoid any type of pressure on the treated eye while healing. This shield or patch is usually needed only for one day.
• You should wear dark glasses for at least 15 days after LASIK surgery to prevent any injury or dust from entering the treated eye.
• Do not splash any water on the treated eye for a minimum of 15 days after LASIK surgery.
• Attend the suggested follow-up appointments with the eye surgeon, usually one day, one week, and three weeks after the LASIK surgery procedure. The LASIK surgeon will assess the healing and help manage any side effects associated with the procedure during these follow-up sessions.
