    LASIK Surgery in Mumbai: An Overview

    LASIK, also known as Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, is an advanced and popular type of vision correction procedure performed to get clear vision and free you from the hassle of wearing eyeglasses and contact lenses.
    LASIK surgery involves the use of advanced laser technology for reshaping the cornea, which is the outermost transparent layer of the eye, and addressing the common refractive errors of the eye, such as farsightedness (hyperopia), nearsightedness (myopia), and astigmatism (blurry vision).
    LASIK treatment has excellent success rates and a quick recovery, making it a popular choice for many people.

    The treatment has especially become quite popular in fast-paced metropolitan cities like Mumbai, where people value convenience. Moreover, an advanced medical infrastructure, access to skilled surgeons, the latest healthcare equipment, and increased awareness of the long-term benefits of LASIK have made the procedure more appealing and accessible to a wide population in urban cities like Mumbai.

    LASIK treatment has excellent success rates and a quick recovery, making it a popular choice for many people. You can get the best LASIK eye surgery in Mumbai at Surya Eye Hospital under the expert guidance of some of the best ophthalmologists and LASIK eye surgeons in Mumbai.
    Symptoms of Refractive Errors Corrected Using LASIK Surgery

    Refractive errors are a common type of eye problem in which the shape of the eye prevents the light from focusing correctly on the retina, which is a light-sensitive tissue layer in the back of the eye.

    Uncorrected refractive errors could lead to the following symptoms that can be corrected using LASIK surgery:

    • Blurred vision
    • Increased halos, glare, and difficulty in seeing during the night time or in low-light conditions
    • Discomfort or strain in the eyes, especially after prolonged use of the computer or reading
    • Headaches due to straining or squinting to see clearly
    • Objects appear distorted
    • Difficulty in performing certain activities like reading, driving, or playing sports

    LASIK Eye Surgery Procedure
    The following steps are involved in a LASIK eye surgery procedure:

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

    • Our team at Surya Eye Hospital will first do a comprehensive eye checkup to check if you are a good candidate for undergoing a LASIK procedure.
    • We will take your corneal measurements, discuss your medical history, and address any queries you may have regarding the procedure.
    • We will discuss what to expect during and after the procedure, as well as the potential risks and benefits of the procedure, and also provide instructions on how to prepare for the procedure, including any necessary medications and precautions.
    • Understand the cost of your treatment as LASIK eye treatment is an elective procedure that is usually not covered by most insurance companies.
    • If you wear contact lenses, you should discontinue using them for at least a couple of weeks before your eye evaluation and surgery as lenses can alter the shape of the cornea. You can switch to eyeglasses till your LASIK appointment.
    • You need to avoid the use of eye makeup, lotions, or creams on the day before and the day of the surgery to reduce the risk of infections.
    • Arrange for transportation to and from the hospital as you will not be able to drive after the procedure.

    The procedure of LASIK treatment is done as follows:

    • Your eye will first be numbed using eye drops.
    • The eye surgeon then places an eyelid holder to prevent the eye from blinking.
    • A suction ring is placed on the eye to prevent it from moving. You may feel mild pressure that resembles the pressure of a finger pressing firmly on the eyelid. Your vision will either become dim or black at this time.
    • A device known as a laser or microkeratome will now be used by the ophthalmologist to make a paper-thin flap in your corneal tissue. The flap is then lifted and folded back.
    • You will be told to stare at the target light so that your eyes do not move during the procedure.
    • The doctor will then reshape the cornea with the help of a programmed laser. With every pulse of the laser beam, a small amount of corneal tissue will be removed.
    • You will hear a clicking sound and be smelling an odor as the doctor uses the laser.
    • After the cornea is reshaped, the eye surgeon will fold the flap back down into its original position. The flap will attach on its own in two to three minutes and will heal without any stitches.
    • If LASIK surgery is needed in both eyes, the doctor will do the procedure on the same day.
    • The entire procedure takes less than 30 minutes to complete.

    At Surya Eye Hospital, we offer painless and comfortable LASIK treatment under some of the most skilled and experienced LASIK eye doctors in Mumbai.

    You can expect the following after a LASIK eye surgery:

    • You may feel itchiness, burning of the eyes, and watery eyes immediately after the procedure.
    • Your vision may be blurred or hazy after the procedure, but the blurriness should improve the day after the surgery.
    • The doctor may prescribe pain medications or eye drops to keep you comfortable for many hours after the procedure.
    • Do not rub your eye after the procedure to prevent the flap from moving or dislodgement.
    • Try to keep your eyes closed as much as possible for the first six hours after surgery.
    • An eye patch or shield may be placed over the eye to protect the flap and prevent rubbing or pressure on the eye until it heals, which usually takes just one day.
    • Use dark glasses when stepping outside for at least two weeks after the procedure to avoid trauma and dust.
    • Avoid splashing water directly on the eye for at least two weeks after the procedure.
    • Follow-up appointments with your doctor are recommended generally after 1 day, 1 week, and 3 weeks of the procedure to check your recovery and address any complications.
    Types of LASIK Surgery
    At Surya Eye Hospital, we offer the following 5 different types of LASIK surgeries:
    Our Technology
    Surya Hospital is equipped with the latest technology to provide you with the best LASIK surgery in Mumbai. The various technologies we use include the following:
    • Femtosecond Lasers
    • Pentacam Topography
    • Orbscan Topography
    • Aberrometry

    • WaveFront system
    • Contoura Lasik System
    • Epi Contoura Lasik System
    • IntraLase FS Laser
    • ALLEGretto Wave
    Custom LASIK
    Custom LASIK is a procedure involving the use of a wavefront analyzer to help create a customized LASIK treatment plan for individual patients. A customized procedure helps in obtaining a sharper, clearer, and better quality of vision.
    An aberrometer or wavefront analyzer is used in this procedure to accurately measure how light travels through a person’s eye. The resultant map of the eye will be programmed into the laser, which is then used to treat the eye depending on the personalized 3D map.
    A custom LASIK helps in treating the small imperfections in the eye’s optical system, also known as higher order aberrations, as well as improving the quality of vision, especially at night.
    Differences Between Conventional LASIK and Custom LASIK
    Although the procedure for custom LASIK and conventional LASIK remains the same, the pre-assessment tests are different. Aberrometry, Topography, and Pachymetry are some pre-operative tests needed before custom LASIK.
    The use of a wavefront analyzer in custom LASIK helps in providing important information for improved precision and quality of vision, as well as treating the problem of halos and glare at night.

    LASIK Alternatives

    At Surya Eye Hospital, we understand that LASIK eye surgery is not suitable for everyone. Our experienced ophthalmologists offer consultations to discuss various alternative vision correction options, like:

    • Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK): This is a surface laser ablation procedure done to correct refractive errors in patients with thin corneas who cannot undergo LASIK surgery.
    • Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL): In patients having extremely thin corneas, severe nearsightedness, or severe farsightedness, ICLs provide a safe and effective alternative to LASIK. These implantable lenses work in a manner similar to contact lenses, but they are placed within the eye to obtain permanent vision correction.
    • LASEK: This is a minimally invasive procedure recommended for people with thin or flat corneas. The procedure does not involve the use of a laser or blade but instead involves using an alcohol solution to soften the cornea and then peel it back. The cornea will then be reshaped with a single laser.
    • Phakic Intraocular Lens Implants: In this procedure, an artificial lens is implanted between the cornea and iris. The procedure does not involve cutting or peeling back corneal layers. The lens is permanent in nature, but it can be removed at any time by the eye doctor.
    • Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE): It is a minimally invasive refractive surgery performed to correct vision by the creation of a tiny, lens-shaped tissue (lenticule) inside the patient’s cornea, which is then removed by making a small incision.
    • Clear Lens Exchange (CLE): The natural lens is replaced with an artificial lens to correct refractive errors.
    • Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE): It is a type of lens refractive surgery that is used in patients whose vision begins to change due to aging.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    The results of LASIK eye treatment are usually permanent, but its benefits may reduce over time. For most patients, however, the results last lifelong.

    No, the ophthalmologist will use numbing eyedrops before starting LASIK surgery to make the procedure painless and comfortable for the patient. There may be some pressure felt while performing the procedure, but there is usually no pain.

    Most patients undergoing LASIK eye surgery notice an improvement in their vision a day after the surgery. However, the operated eye could take up to three to six months to heal and recover completely.

    Although LASIK eye surgery is generally considered to be a safe procedure, it could be associated with a few risks, like:

    • Dry eyes
    • Halo, glare, and double vision
    • Overcorrections
    • Undercorrections
    • Astigmatism
    • Eye pain
    • Temporary vision distortions
    • Infection
    • Excess flap tear
    • Gradual return of original refractive error
    • Loss of vision (rare)

    Blurred vision can occur for up to 6 months after LASIK eye treatment due to dryness of the eyes but in most cases, the blurred vision improves in a day or two after surgery. The eye doctor may suggest using artificial tears and resting the eyes frequently to prevent dryness of the eyes.

    The following person is considered to be a good candidate for undergoing LASIK eye surgery:

    • Above 18 years of age
    • Good eye health without eye infections, diseases, or injuries
    • Good vision stability (no change in eye prescription for at least one year)
    • Good corneal thickness
    • Good general health
