Aashirwad Eye Hospital is the best option for your laser eye surgery (LASIK) because it is efficient and faster; vision correction performed by skilled and well-known surgeons, as well as advanced diagnostic tools, helps patients receive confidence in a clear vision for comfort, safety, and meticulous postoperative care. We have more than 15 years of experience helping thousands of patients achieve spectacle-free vision.
Did you know that 43% of visual impairments are caused by refractive errors, and that 750,000
people choose laser vision correction last year with a 96-98 percent success rate?
When the parallel light beams from infinity do not concentrate in the retina’s
light-sensitive layer, this is known as a refractive error. This might be brought on
by changes in the eyeball’s length (longer or shorter), the cornea’s shape, or the
lens’s rigidity as we age.
Refractive surgery (LASIK) is an elective cosmetic procedure intended to correct refractive error and remove the patient from the need for eyeglasses & provide spectacle free life. It usually takes 5 to 10 minutes per eye and is done as an outpatient treatment.
The topography-guided LASIK, used in Contoura Vision, is the newest and most sophisticated technology in eye procedures. It gathers approximately 22,000 unique elevation points for each eye. It can detect corneal abnormalities and generates a unique treatment profile for each eye. It was introduced in the US in 2015 and approved by USFDA. The Contoura platform is the only one in the world created to treat your visual axis, giving you more clear/crisp spectacle powers whereas all other laser platforms treat on your pupillary axis.
Let’s discuss your suitability and whether laser vision correction is the appropriate choice for you. The ideal candidate for refractive error you have, together with the thickness and curvature of your cornea, will determine if you are a candidate for refractive surgery. You must be at least 18 years old, free from any eye disease, have stable power for at least 6 months prior to surgery, and be without pregnant or nursing, no active eye or ocular medical issues you may have and any drugs you may be taking.
LASIK, the most popular refractive technique; LASEK (Laser Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis), involves reshaping the cornea using a laser. To correct your vision, your surgeon creates a thin flap on the top of the cornea. Through vision therapy and LASIK, we strive to enhance laser refractive error, myopia, hyperopia, and other optical diseases. It is suitable for patients who suffer from incorrect corneal or myopia, those who experience frequent spectacle use, presbyopia, and vision correction. The ideal candidate is above 18 years of age with stable refraction values at least 6 months prior to surgery.
