Lasik Surgery: The Best Laser Eye Surgery in Delhi

Save Sight Centre offers various modern amenities, technology and apparatus to correct spectacle power by surgeries ranging from LASIK, Topo guided CONTOUR, Trans PRK (Touchless and Flapless), SBK etc. where laser energies are used to re-establish the size or curvature of the cornea, to enhance better vision correction . If not suitable for laser surgery then Phakic IOL (ICL/IPCL) is another option.

Contour treatment is especially suitable for patients of Astigmatism. The technique combines prescription with corneal topography maps and provides an improved quality of vision. Also, it provides a highly precise and accurate mapping of the eye which can identify hidden irregularities. More than 90% of the people treated with Topo Guided Contour experienced a vision sharper than a vision with glasses.

Advantages of Topo Guided Contour vision:

• A customized treatment plan based on corneal topography maps.
• Accurate correction of refractive irregularities and errors in the cornea.
• Treatment of higher-order aberrations as well as irregular astigmatism.
• Sharper, clearer better vision, with more detail.
• Superior overall visual performance which includes the clarity of vision, the sensitivity to contrast as well as night vision.
• Eliminating induced aberrations and enhancing or maintaining the natural quality of vision.
• Stability and predictability of outcomes.
• Ideal for a broader range of patients, such as those suffering from complex refractive problems or who have had previous cornea surgeries.

Procedure:

• The procedure beings with a precise ocular examination followed by a series of preoperative tests to check the curvature and thickness of the cornea. The tests are mandatory and are used to determine eligibility. Later, a detailed fundoscopy is performed and any kind of retinal pathology is found, we first use the barrage laser to treat the pathology, and then the LASIK is scheduled after 1 to 4 weeks.
• On the day of the surgery, the topographic scans of patients are done. And following the reports, we customize the treatment planning.
• Bladeless Femtosecond technology or SBK keratome comes in use to create a thin flap, which is then, lifted using microsurgical instruments. And then theAmarys 500 excimer laser performs the customized refractive correction.
• After the procedure, the patient can go home after just 30 minutes with post-operative medications, precautions, and eye drops to prevent infection. Then there are post-operative check-ups are scheduled on day one and one month later.

Advantages of Topo Guided Contour vision:

• Procedure that is bladeless: Femtosecond Lasik makes use of a laser precisely create a corneal flap. This eliminates the requirement for a conventional surgical blade.
• Increased safety: Lasers can create an extremely thin corneal flap, which reduces the chance of complications occurring when performing the surgery.
• Individualized treatment: Femtosecond Lasik allows for an individual treatment plan that is specific to the patient's particular eyesight characteristics and refractive error.
• A faster healing process: The laser-generated flap encourages faster healing and lowers the possibility of post-operative complications.
• Increased accuracy: The superior precision of the laser allows for more precise corneal flap creation and improved visual results.
• Lower risk of flap-related problems: Femtosecond Lasik reduces the possibility of complications caused by flap imperfections, like wrinkles, striae or dislocation.
• Enhanced visual results: Advanced technology in Femtosecond Lasik contributes to improved vision acuity, less the amount of glare, and an overall improvement in visual quality.
• More patient ease of use: The bladeless method and the quick and precise flap-making process results in greater comfort to the patients.
• Flexibility: Femtosecond Lasik can treat an array of refractive problems, including hyperopia, myopia and astigmatism.

Advantages:

• Treatment of the Surface: It is an FDA-approved surface-based laser refractive procedure which does not involve the creation or enlargement of corneal flaps, making it ideal for patients who have thinner corneas or those who are susceptible to complications associated with them.
• Procedure without Flap: it removes the epithelium (outer layer of cornea) before reshaping corneal tissue without needing a corneal flap to be formed.
• Improves safety: By forgoing corneal flaps, Trans PRK minimizes any associated risks such as epithelial ingrowth or dislocation of flaps.
• Delivers predictable outcomes: It utilizes advanced laser technology to precisely alter the cornea, yielding reliable visual results.
• Treatment tailored specifically for you: It allows customized treatment plans tailored specifically to an individual's eye anatomy and refractive error.
• Postoperative discomfort is reduced: With Trans PRK, post-op discomfort typically is reduced relative to procedures that involve the formation of corneal flaps.
• Trans PRK can effectively treat various refractive errors: Myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism can all be corrected using this revolutionary procedure.
• Trans PRK may reduce the risk of corneal Ectasia - a condition characterized by weak and deformed corneas - significantly.
• Stability over Time: Trans PRK was found to provide long-term stability, with many patients maintaining their vision and refractive correction over time.

Procedure:

Surgery typically lasts approximately 5 minutes.

• Step 1: Put your surgical gown, lie flat, and get ready for the surgery.
• Step 2: A clamp will be used to keep your eyes open and your eyes will be numbed to avoid any kind of uneasiness.
• Step 3: You will be advised to stare straight at the dim green light of the laser.
• Step 4: The laser starts to ablate the surface cell and the laser starts to reshape your cornea.
• Step 5: After the correction, a bandage contact lens will be placed over your eyes to allow the surface cells to heal safely.

After the surgery, you will be able to see immediately except the blurriness due to the healing of surface cells. The blurriness will take 5 days to vanish and then you can resume your daily activities.

Recovery time may take up to three months and then your eyes should be able to see clearly again. Following surgery, regular check-ups must take place on 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months in case of high myopia.

Recovery:

Full recovery typically takes up to three months after surgery; once this has happened, your eyes should be able to see clearly. In order to stay safe post-op, regular check-ups will need to be conducted: one day, three days, one week, one month, three months and six months for those suffering with high myopia.

Moreover, after the surgery, you can resume these activities after a specific period of time.

• Long sessions of reading or watching TV: 5 days
• Driving: 1 week
• Eye-makeup: 1 week
• Swimming: 2 weeks
• Light sports: 5 days
• Contact sports: 2 weeks

Pros of Trans PRK:

• No flap related complications
• No dry eye syndrome
• Can participate in contact sports
• No surgical instrument touching your eye
• Wide range of suitability criteria
• Less time consuming

ICL is a technique where a contact lens is implanted into the eye to correct the errors and support an enhanced vision. The lens is made of highly biocompatible material and is place over the natural lens and further, helps in focusing the light properly back onto the retina.

ICL is a technology superficially activated in the field of refractive surgery and received over 10 million satisfied customers in the last 20 years.

Advantages of ICL:

• Superior Vision Correction: ICL offers superior visual sharpness and high-quality correction of refractive errors across a wide spectrum, such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism and hyperopia.
• Corrective Options Options: ICL can correct for a wide variety of refractive errors, making it suitable for those with moderate to severe nearsightedness and farsightedness levels.
• Installation is typically an outpatient procedure that takes only 15 minutes per eye and allows for quick recovery time without interfering with day-to-day life.
• Adjustable and Reversible: ICL treatment offers several advantages over other refractive procedures, including being easily adjustable and removable if required to meet changes in eye sight. As soon as any eye sight issues arises, you can simply change or remove or replace the lens to meet those changes.
• Maintains cornea tissue: Implanting ICL into your eye does not alter its natural shape; that means any future treatments or procedures, should they become necessary, will remain undisturbed by ICL treatment.
• Vision that is Stable and Healthy: ICL provides natural-looking vision with depth perception contrast sensitivity maintained as well as quality of vision maintained. Additionally, its steady position within the eye offers reliable vision correction correction.
• ICL may be suitable for individuals with corneas with thin walls who do not meet eligibility requirements for other refractive surgeries such as LASIK or PRK, and who require built-in UV protection to shield their eyes from UV radiation damage.
• Because ICL does not involve directly treating the cornea itself, most individuals experience minimal dryness and discomfort after receiving ICL treatments.
• Combining ICL with other treatments is also possible, such as cataract surgery to simultaneously address multiple issues with vision.

ICL Procedure:

• Pre-Op Eye Exam: Before the day of surgery, a number of tests will be performed to measure your eye and the characteristics for the procedure.
• Eye Drops Administered: Your eyes will be numbed and dilated before the procedure.
• Lens Insertion: One small opening will be created at the base of your cornea to insert the ICL. Also, numbing medications will make this procedure painless.
• Lens Positioning: After inserting the lens, there will be done some necessary arrangements to position the lens properly.
• Final Step: Many people find their vision improved nearly immediately after the procedure is done. Moreover, eye drops will be prescribed to you to prevent infection.
• Post Op & Check-up: There are some post-operative check-ups are performed to ensure the correction.

• Age 18 years or older
• Stable refractive error and correctable to 20/40 or better
• Normal ocular health. Diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, macular degeneration, corneal ulceration or Keratoconus (cornealthinning) will also not be considered as viable laser eye correction candidate
• Individuals who have specific auto-immune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus may find that their natural healing process could be compromised and that refractive eye correction will not provide a viable option for them
• Pregnant women or those still nursing should also wait for their laser eye procedure as hormonal fluctuations during and after pregnancy have been known to alter the ocular prescription of an individual, making it difficult to evaluate an effective correction
• Uncontrolled Diabetes you might be ineligible for laser eye surgery however if your diabetes in controlled you may still be suitable
• -1.00 to –15.00D of myopia and < 8.00 D of astigmatism
• Pupil size < 6mm (in room light)
• Realistic expectations of the final results

Pre-operative assessment on in order to decide upon your suitability for treatment. This may include test for

• Dry eye
• Night vision and contrast sensitivity
• Corneal topography
• Dilated retinal examination
• Pupil size and intra-ocular pressure

Patients considering laser eye surgery typically ask this question first and foremost. You can be assured that laser eye surgery is a safe elective surgical procedure; its various forms have been performed for over 30 years, and have become very well established over time. Studies on LASIK procedures have accumulated an ample body of clinical evidence proving they are both safe and effective solutions for eligible candidates.

For the majority of people, laser eye surgery corrects their distance (far) vision to match or better what it is with glasses. During an eye test after the procedure, most patients can expect to read as well as they do with their best-possible pair of glasses or contacts. However, the likelihood that you’ll be completely free from glasses or contacts after the surgery depends on a few important factors:

• Your prescription strength and type of refractive error (e.g., short-sightedness, long-sightedness, or astigmatism)
• Your surgeon’s experience and available laser technology
• Your age
