Best LASIK Surgery Hospital Navi Mumbai

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.
