What is laser eye surgery?
Laser eye surgery, particularly LASIK, serves to correct vision impairments such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism by reshaping the cornea with a specialised laser, thus allowing light to be properly focused onto the retina. The procedure, which entails creating a thin flap in the cornea then precisely reshaping the corneal tissue with an excimer laser, is lauded for its quick recovery times and the significant improvement in vision it can provide, often by the following day. Despite its high success rate, the surgery does carry risks, including dry eyes and night vision issues, though serious complications are rare. It's essential for potential candidates to undergo comprehensive evaluations to minimise risks and discuss expectations and concerns with their eye care professional. Advances in technology continue to make laser eye surgery safer and more effective, presenting it as a favourable option for a wide range of people looking to enhance their vision.
What are the different types of laser eye surgery?
Various laser eye surgeries like LASIK, PRK, and SMILE offer tailored vision correction. Each has unique benefits, catering to different needs and suitability, highlighting the importance of professional consultation.
LASIK
Precise corneal reshaping for quick vision improvement, widely preferred.
How is laser eye surgery performed?
Laser eye surgery begins with the application of numbing drops to the eye, ensuring the patient's comfort throughout the procedure. In LASIK, the surgeon creates a thin, precise flap in the cornea using a femtosecond laser. This flap is gently lifted, exposing the underlying corneal tissue. An excimer laser is then employed to meticulously reshape the cornea based on the individual's unique vision requirements, correcting imperfections that impair vision. Once the cornea is suitably reshaped, the flap is repositioned and naturally adheres to the eye's surface without the need for stitches. The procedure is remarkably swift, typically concluding within 30 minutes for both eyes, and is celebrated for its rapid recovery time, allowing most patients to experience a significant improvement in their vision almost immediately.
LASIK surgery is highly favoured due to the rapid recovery that patients experience following this laser procedure. Nevertheless, LASIK surgery may not be recommended for individuals with thin or flat corneas. Opting for PRK surgery is highly recommended in this particular situation. The surgeon will advise on the best option suitable for your eyes.
