What is LASIK LASIK is a surgical procedure for correcting near sightedness myopia far sightedness hyperopia and cylindrical Astigmatic refractive errors. LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis.

Procedure of LASIK During LASIK surgery a flap is created in the outer layers of the cornea. The flap is hinged and lifted so the excimer laser can treat only the underlying layer of the cornea. This circular flap remains attached to the cornea by a small hinge of tissue. The hinge enables the flap to be lifted away from the central cornea. A laser can then be used to reshape the exposed mid-layer of the cornea. The laser is used to create a flap using multiple short pulses. These pulses are so close together they create an almost complete separation of the flap from the rest of the cornea but they do not actually lift the flap. If the flap pattern is judged to be complete and satisfactory a delicate separation of the flap is performed with a few gentle manipulations using a surgical instrument. While creating the flap the eye is held firmly with a suction ring which exerts some pressure and causes vision to black out momentarily. The surgeon then positions the pa ti ent ’ s eye under the excimer laser which is programmed to remove microscopic layers of tissue from the internal part of the cornea under the flap. The cool laser beam vaporizes tissue away one microscopic layer at a time without burning or cutting. This tissue does not completely replace itself after it is removed. Since the excimer laser light is created at a specified wavelength that does not pass through the cornea no other part of the eye is affected.

After the tissue has been removed the surgeon places the flap back in its original position where it heals into place with no stitches. The cornea has amazing natural bonding qualities. Within a few minutes the flap adheres to the underlying tissue. The edges of the flap heal over in 12 to 48 hours with the entire flap gaining adhesive strength as it continues to heal in the following weeks and months. For each eye the laser application time is usually less than one minute and the whole procedure takes around 15 minutes.

2 Femto Lasik: Blade Free Lasik FEMTOLASIK is a two-step procedure involving two lasers. First the surgeon creates a small flap in the cornea with the help of ultra fast femto second laser Blade or Microkeratome is not needed to prepare the eye for the next step the vision correction. The traditional LASIK method of laser vision correction requires a mechanical blade to make the flap. Second step of vision correction is like conventional Lasik. 3 No Touch Lasik: In Conventional Lasik or Femto Lasik Bladeless Lasik Mechanical Instruments or Lasers Creates the corneal Flap Which is mandatory Contrary to this in “ No Touch LasikTrans PRK Corneal Flap is not required so one can avoid flap related complications. It is very safe predictable procedure as no flap is required so chances of complications in future negligible. Patient fit for NO TOUCH LASIK are: a Patients who play contact sports rugby martial arts or have careers that pose a greater risk of injury police armed Forces. b Patients who are highly anxious about LASIK Flap creation but who also accept the new risks posed by No Touch laser eye surgery.

It can be inserted into the eye through sub 2.8 mm incision to correct spherical cylindrical or mixed errors within the e y e’ s optical system. Once implanted in the eye the EyePCL stays indefinitely. It can be replaced or removed from the eye if your vision changes over a period of time.
