Best LASIK Treatment in Mumbai

The following preparation is needed before undergoing a LASIK eye surgery:

• To determine whether you are a good candidate for LASIK treatment, our specialists at Surya Eye Hospital will first perform a thorough eye exam.
• We will measure your cornea, go over your medical history, and answer any questions you may have about the process.
• We will go over what to anticipate both during and after the surgery, as well as any potential dangers and advantages. We will also give instructions on how to be ready for the treatment, including what drugs and safety measures are required.
• Since LASIK eye surgery is an elective procedure that is typically not covered by most insurance carriers, be aware of the cost of your treatment.
• Because contact lenses can change the structure of the cornea, you should stop wearing them at least a few weeks before your eye examination and operation. Until your LASIK appointment, you can switch to eyeglasses.
• To lower the risk of infection, you should refrain from using eye makeup, lotions, or creams the day before and the day of the procedure.
• You won't be allowed to drive following the procedure, so make arrangements for transportation to and from the hospital.

The procedure of LASIK treatment is done as follows:

• First, eye drops will be used to numb your eye.
• After that, the eye surgeon inserts an eyelid holder to stop the eye from blinking.
• To stop the eye from moving, a suction ring is applied. You can experience a slight pressure that feels like a finger firmly pressing against your eyelid. At this point, your eyesight will either turn dark or faint.
• The ophthalmologist will now create a paper-thin flap in your corneal tissue using a tool called a laser or microkeratome. After that, the flap is raised and folded back.
• You will be instructed to keep your eyes fixed on the target light throughout the process.
• After that, the doctor will use a preset laser to reshape the cornea. A tiny bit of corneal tissue will be eliminated with each laser beam pulse.
• As the doctor uses the laser, you will smell something and hear a clicking sound.
• The eye surgeon will fold the flap back down into its original place once the cornea has been reshaped. In two to three minutes, the flap will self-attach and heal without the need for stitches.
• The doctor will do LASIK surgery on the same day if it is necessary for both eyes.
• Less than thirty minutes are needed to finish the full process.

Some of the most talented and knowledgeable LASIK eye specialists in Mumbai provide painless and comfortable LASIK procedures at Surya Eye Hospital.

You can expect the following after a LASIK eye surgery:

• Following the operation, you can experience watery eyes, burning in your eyes, and itching.
• After the operation, your vision may be cloudy or blurry, but the day following the procedure, the blurriness should go away.
• To keep you comfortable for several hours following the treatment, the doctor could recommend eye drops or painkillers.
• After the procedure, avoid rubbing your eye to keep the flap from shifting or coming loose.
• For the first six hours following surgery, try to keep your eyes closed as much as you can.
• To cover the flap and avoid rubbing or pressure on the eye while it heals—which typically takes only one day—an eye patch or shield may be used over the eye.
• For at least two weeks following the treatment, wear dark glasses when going outside to prevent dust and trauma.
• For at least two weeks following the procedure, refrain from directly splashing water on the eye.
• In order to monitor your recuperation and handle any issues, follow-up visits with your physician are typically advised one day, one week, and three weeks following the surgery.

Pre-operative evaluation must be done in detail so as to exclude a patient who may not be eligible to undergo LASIK eye surgery, and also help choose the most suitable method that the individual would need.
