slide 2: 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.
slide 3: 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.
slide 4: 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.
For Removal of glasses following options are available:-
1 Conventional Lasik
2 Femto Lasik No
3 No Touch Lasik
4 Eye PCL
1 Conventional 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.
slide 5: 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.
slide 6: c Patients with compromised corneal bio-mechanics Dependent on the shape and thickness of your cornea and
your current prescription.
d Patients who are likely to suffer flap-related complications with LASIK such as having small. deep set eyes.
e Patients undergoing Follow-up Eye surgery to Correct Previous imperfect LASIK or Epi-LASIK Procedures.
4 Eye PCL:
Implantable Phakic contact Lens EyePCL is like a soft contact lens single piece posterior chamber phakic iol
which can be inserted into the eye through sub 2.8mm incision to correct vision of the eye.The lens is customized
according to shape size of each eye.Widest power range from +15D to -30D with cyl upto 8D.Made from
Hybrid Acrylic material to ensure long term performance.The EyePCL lens is implanted inside the eye between
the Iris and the natural lens. 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.
Am I Fit For LASIK
For people with nearsightedness myopia farsightedness hyperopia or astigmatism LASIK surgery could be
the key to a life free of bulky spectacles or contact lenses. But not everybody is a suitable candidate for this
type of laser eye surgery. Here are the few main questions a LASIK surgeon is likely to ask you during a
consultation.
slide 7: LASIK FAQs
How old are you
If y ou’ re under 18 the LASIK surgeon will ask you to wait just to make sure your vision is stabilised. If y ou ’re in your
early 40s you need to be aware that you might still need reading glasses later on. If y ou’ re in your 60s you will
need to be assessed for pre-existing cataracts. If you have them cataract surgery might actually solve your vision
problem in addition to correcting any myopia hyperopia astigmatism or presbyopia that you might have.
