Refractive Surgeries
Refractive surgeries aim to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses by correcting refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. These procedures reshape the cornea, allowing light to focus correctly on the retina.
Refractive Surgeries
Types of Refractive Surgeries 1. PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy): o This procedure involves removing the outer layer of the cornea and applying laser treatment directly to its surface. o A good option for patients with thinner corneas, as it does not involve creating a flap in the cornea. 2. LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis): o This popular procedure uses a laser to create a flap in the cornea, which is then reshaped to improve light focusing. o Short recovery time, quick results, and typically minimal discomfort. 3. LASEK (Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis): o LASEK preserves the epithelial layer of the cornea before applying the laser, combining features of both LASIK and PRK. o A suitable choice for patients who may not qualify for traditional LASIK. 4. Femto LASIK: o An advanced version of LASIK that uses a femtosecond laser to create the corneal flap instead of a surgical blade. o High precision in cutting, reduced risk of complications, and increased safety and comfort. 5. Custom LASIK: o This technique relies on individual corneal measurements using wavefront technology to provide personalized treatment. o Tailored correction for each patient’s vision, addressing issues like glare and halos, and enhancing post-operative vision quality. 6. SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction): o A modern approach that differs from traditional LASIK, SMILE involves removing a small, lens-shaped piece of tissue from the cornea through a small incision. o Smaller incision reduces corneal impact, may result in less pain, quicker recovery, and a lower risk of dry eye after surgery. 7. ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens): o This procedure involves placing a lens inside the eye without altering the cornea, making it suitable for patients with high degrees of myopia or those not eligible for laser procedures.
