Laser Eye Surgery in India At Mumbai and Delhi At Low Cost

Laser eye surgery is a safe and effective method of correcting visual problems, often removing the constant need for glasses. Our guide to laser eye surgery aims to cover all your questions, from what the procedure for laser eye surgery involves, the risks, the benefits and the different types of laser eye surgery.

There are 2 main methods of laser eye surgery: -

LASIK Laser Eye SurgeryPRK Laser Eye Surgery

The major difference between the two surgeries is the way that the stroma, the middle layer of the cornea, is exposed before it is vaporized with the laser. In PRK, the top layer of the cornea, called the epithelium, is scraped away to expose the stromal layer underneath. In LASIK, a flap is cut in the stromal layer and the flap is folded back. How is the LASIK procedure performed?

The LASIK procedure will take around an hour to complete and can be performed on an outpatient basis. You will be awake for the entire procedure and in order to reduce discomfort and numb the pain, local anaesthetic will be applied. Your vision will be blurred throughout the procedure.

Here are the steps of the LASIK process: -

The doctor will ask you to sit down on the reclining chairIn order to numb the area and reduce discomfort, anaesthetic drops will be applied on your eyesYour eyes will be cleaned with an antibacterial washIn order to keep your eyes open throughout the procedure, a special instrument will be used so that the eyelids are held in placeA suction ring will be placed on the eye so that there will be pressure on the cornea prior to cutting itYou will be asked to focus on a coloured light, this may be coloured green or redOn the surface of the cornea, a flap will be cut and folded back so that the doctor can reach the tissue underneath it. A special blade called a microkeratome will be usedThe tissue that has been exposed will be driedThe laser will be put into positionThe laser will be used to re! move cor neal tissue. A computer will be used to guide the laser in reshaping the cornea. You may notice a smell that is like burning hair during this processWhen the right amount of tissue has been removed, the flap is put back into place within secondsNo stitches will be placedYou will be allowed to leave after a few minutes but you should take care of yourself and have someone drive you home

Q. What happens after the LASIK surgery?

Right after the LASIK surgery, your eyes may feel itchy, watery, and blurry. In order to alleviate any discomfort, the doctor will prescribe certain medications or eye drops. In order to aid in the healing process, you will be required to wear eye patches while you sleep at night.

You will be able to see right after the surgery although it won't be completely clear yet. It may take a couple of months for your eye to heal and for your vision to completely stabilize. The chance of getting crystal clear vision after the surgery is also dependent on the clarity of your vision prior to the surgery.

You will have to visit your doctor after forty eight hours in order to find out if your eyes are healing properly. There will be regular visits to your doctor for the next six months so that your healing is monitored and so that any complications will be spotted early on.

You should avoid using make up for the first few weeks in order to prevent any foreign substances getting into your eyes. You should avoid playing any contact sports in order to prevent any trauma to the eyes. You will also be advised to refrain from water related activities like swimming and going into the sauna. You should ask your doctor when it would be best to return to your day-to-day activities.

Q. What are the risks of the LASIK treatment? Here are the risks that you have to take when you go through the LASIK treatment: -

flap problems: - complications can arise when the flap from the front of your eye is folded back during the surgery. Some of the complications may! include swelling, too much tearing, and infection. Moreover, the outer tissue layer of the cornea could also grow in an abnormal way

under correction:- if not enough tissue was removed from the eye then the clarity of vision will not be as you expected. If you are nearsighted then there is a higher chance of under correction. Another refractive surgery may have to be performed on you within the year

over correction: - if too much tissue was removed from your eye then your vision may become over corrected. This is much harder to remedy than an under correction

dry eyes: - your eyes will feel dry for the first six months and your doctor may prescribe some eye drops in order to remedy the situation. For sever cases of dry eyes, you may have to go through another procedure and get special plugs placed on your tear ducts. This will keep your eyes wet and prevent the tears from excessive draining from your eyes

astigmatism: - if uneven tissue was removed from your eye then you may develop astigmatism. This is a complication that arises if your eye moves too much during the procedure. This will also need further surgery

glares, double vision, and halos: - you may experience difficulty seeing at night, see halos, glaring, and double vision after the surgery. You may be able to address this with eye drops although a second surgery may be more appropriate

You have to consult your doctor first before you go through the LASIK procedure. There are a lot of risks to take. Ask your doctor about the benefits and the risks of the procedure. Make sure that you are suitable for the procedure. Disclose all the necessary details to your doctor as much as possible. This will help both doctor and patient make sure about the suitability for the LASIK procedure or not.

Photorefractive Keratectomy - PRK laser eye surgery

Photorefractive Keratectomy can be abbreviated as PRK. This was the first method of laser eye surgery which was used to treat low refractive errors. It is a suitable su! rgery fo r those with thin corneas. PRK and LASIK are both classified as a laser eye surgery although each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Global Food Consumption [Interactive Infographic]

It should come as no surprise that people in developing countries consume fewer calories than the developed countries of the world. Also unsurprisingly, the income level of inhabitants of developing countries is far lower than in the developed world. However, the disparity of the percent of household income spent on food may surprise you. Food Service Warehouse , a restaurant equipment and supplies web store, put together an interactive display that explores global food consumption and income spent on food. Click below to check it out: After working on a more light-hearted graphic about the world of competitive eating , Food Service Warehouse (FSW) took interest in the average caloric consumption around the world. While no countries are consuming anywhere near the estimated 20,000+ calories that Joey Chestnut ate in a hot dog eating contest, many of the high-consumption countries are well above the average recommended daily amount (according to the FAO, roughly 2,400 calories per d
