Lasik Surgery : Introduction Of Lasik Surgery

Introduction of Lasik Surgery. 

Lasik surgery or Laser Surgery (refractive surgery) is surgery procedure to correct vision problem such as farsightedness (hyperopia), nearsightedness (myopia) and astigmatism. LASIK stands for Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis. The eye surgeon uses “ultraviolet laser technology” and “microkeratome blade” to reshape the front of your eyeball. The front eyeball which is called “Cornea” will be reshaped so that your eye can focus images correctly (20/20 vision). Most people are able to see clearly without their glasses or contacts immediately following the surgery.

Is lasik surgery right for everyone?

Lasik Surgery is not suitable for everyone. Firstly you should do some home work before you proceed with the lasik surgery. Find the “authorized eye surgeon” to scan your eye. You better see several eye experts (ophthalmologist) to confirm whether your eye is suitable for the lasik surgery. You will have confidence by doing that. You may talk to those who have undergone the lasik surgery and ask about their experiences. There are risks and side effects to lasik surgery, so it is best to know what you are getting into ahead of time. Patients with health problems, particularly involving the eyes, may need to postpone lasik surgery. Presbyopia, a condition that requires reading glasses in older patients, cannot be corrected with lasik surgery.


How the lasik surgery works?

Lasik Surgery begins when the surgeon cuts a flap in the cornea. This flap may be created by using a microkeratome blade or an ultraviolet laser. The surgeon then moves the flap, either by using alcohol to float it out of the way or by lifting it with the microkeratome blade. Then, the surgeon removes the tissue underneath the cornea using an excimer laser. This removal or “ablation” reshapes the cornea, allowing for vision more accurate. Once this procedure is complete, the surgeon folds the flap back down for healing.

Lasik Surgery is usually quick and painless. The surgery generally takes about five minutes to perform. You are in and out in a very short time. The doctor anesthetizes the eye with special drops to numb the pain. In most cases, patients experience an immediate vision improvement. Some experience continued improvement over the weeks following the procedure. There are a number of temporary side effects including problems with night vision, sensitivity to light, glare, halos, starbursts, decreased night vision and dry eye syndrome. Recovery period may be varies since some patients recovered in longer time.

Lasik Surgery is a solution for correcting your vision problems. Furthermore, you don't bother to wear glasses or contact lenses anytmore. In addition, you get your natural appearance back. Wear glasses, sometimes can change your appearance, pretty person might look “not really pretty” when he or she wears glasses.
