1. LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis)

LASIK is a very popular refractive surgery. This is a procedure in which the cornea is reshaped to correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. The procedure involves the creation of a thin flap in the cornea using either a microkeratome or laser. This flap is then stripped open and with a laser removes the corneal tissue, thus letting light to focus properly on the retina.

Cornea is mapped in which a laser reshapes the surface of the cornea to a detailed specification in order to enhance the visual outcome and the night vision also.

Advantages:

  • Customized treatment for unique, individualized corneal shape
  • Decreased glare and halos

As with LASIK, the suitability can only be known through the state of the cornea and refractive error.

 

3. SMILE Pro (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction Pro)

The surgeon creates a lenticule that is, a small disc of tissue within the cornea which is then extracted out through a small incision to reshape the cornea, with a femtosecond laser. Giving you one of the best options for specs removal surgery.
