Myopia correction surgery has been performed at Bharti Eye Foundation since 1987. Dr. S. Bharti utilized an Excimer laser that the organization acquired in 1995 to complete the first LASIK treatment in Delhi in November of the same year.
Laser vision correction methods are
- Since 1995, Contura, PRK, or photorefractive keratectomy has been the most traditional type of vision correction (Surface therapy, Contura vision).
- Epi-LASIK / LASEK, which is made by using a keratome and alcohol in Epi-LASIK as opposed to an epithelial flap in LASEK, resembles a PRK more.
- LASIK surgery is the most popular method for treating myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism, and presbyopia (LASer-Insitu-Keratomileusis). A flap with the ideal thickness and size is created using a microkeratome. The cornea is then reshaped with a laser after the flap is reflected. Since it is painless, safe, accurate, and provides speedy results, it is the ideal method for mild to moderate myopia up to -8 D, hyperopia up to +6 D, astigmatism up to 6 D, and presbyopia.
- Sub Bowman Keratomileusis (SBK) uses an SBK keratome to form a 140-micron Lasik-style flap that is 110 microns thinner, allowing for a bigger myopia correction.
- The overall corneal shape in LASIK (topography-guided) is treated depending on the corneal topography. The alternate wavefront-guided correction is preferable for corneas with more abnormalities.
- Z-LASIK or Femto-LASIK techniques are the latest The 90-degree flap is created by a Femtosecond laser during the ALL LASER LASIK surgery, and the laser correction is based on ABERRATION GUIDED Higher corrections are attainable with greater accuracy thanks to technology that adjusts the power because minute micron level aberrations are continuously rectified.
Complications
It is extremely rare for problems to cause visual loss. However, some LASIK side effects, notably dry eyes and transient vision issues like glare, are very typical.
Few people think these are long-term issues because they typically go away within a few weeks or months.
