Who’s the Potential Candidate for Lasik Surgery?

Before moving to decide on the Lasik surgery, it’s more significant to consider whom this is for. By some parameters, you can easily understand who is the potential candidate for this optical surgery. Remember one thing; for any tissue or organ disorder, surgery is considered as the last and final solution when other cures and treatments do not work. Right in the case of the Lasik surgery as well. So, you may consider a few factors;

➢ You must be 18+

➢ Your number has sustained for 6 – 12 months

➢ You’ve already used glasses or contact lens

➢ Your cornea must be thickened enough to exhibit good healthy life for your eyes

➢ You don’t have any serious eye disorder that leads the bulging cornea

➢ You won’t be a patient with uncontrolled diabetes, pregnant, or nursing women

➢ You don’t have dry eyes, large pupils, and thin cornea

➢ You don’t have any eye changes due to the age factor

Thus, it’s so crucial to determine the patient’s current health condition. And at Visual Aids Centre in Jor Bagh, our expert ophthalmologists thoroughly conduct the pre-op check-up.

What Conditions profess this Surgery?

First, it’s necessary to consult an ophthalmologist before moving for Lasik surgery. Well! There are THREE particular conditions that can be treated via this optical procedure.

Myopia : Shortsightedness or myopia is the condition when either the eyeball becomes slightly longer than normal or the cornea curves too sharp. As the light passes through the eyes, then it focuses in front of the retina, and thus it blurs the distant vision. Resultantly, you can’t see the object from a distance apart but only can see the nearly-placed objects.
Hyperopia: Farsightedness or hyperopia is the condition when the eyeball becomes short or average-sized than normal, or the cornea becomes too flattened. As the light passes through the eyes, then it focuses on behind the retina. As a result, your vision may be blurry for near objects and even sometimes for objects at more distance.
Astigmatism: This is the condition when the cornea is in an uneven shape, neither properly curved nor flattened. Such a condition leads to the disrupted focus of vision for the objects residing both near and distant apart.

The procedure of Lasik Surgery

Generally, there are pre-op and post-op sessions for Lasik Surgery.

Pre-op Session: Before Lasik surgery, firstly, you must avoid using any cosmetic product on your eyes before one day and on the day of surgery. Even you won’t be using contact lenses as well. Instead of any lotion, cream, or eye makeup, you have to administer a few drops of antibiotic about 2-3 times a day ago as well as the day of the proceeding.
After that, we conduct a thorough examination of the eyes. The size and shape of the pupil, cornea, and pressure of the eye. The whole topography of the eye is scanned via a scanner. Then we make a questionnaire about the current eye condition and associated risk factors.
The Procedure: Firstly, the patient has to be given some pills to be calm and relax, then lie in a rectangular chair on his back. After that, anesthetizing drops are placed in the patient’s eye. Then we hold the eyelids open via an instrument. Before cutting the corneal flap, a suction ring is placed in front of the eye to create pressure.
We use a sterilized cutting laser to cut the small hinged flap away from the front of the eye. Then we move the flap back to access the cornea to reshape it. With a programmed laser, our senior eye surgeons reshape particular parts of the cornea. A little corneal tissue is removed via each laser beam pulse.
While the procedure, we confirm the focus point of the patient to pivot to the light. As the light fixes the exact point, it will keep the eye fixed to a point until the cornea doesn’t reshape. As the cornea is reshaped, we lay the flap back into its place that heals on its own.
Post-op Session: After the surgery, the patient may feel itchy, gritty, or burning sensations. Just a few minutes to hours later the surgery, vision may blur, and a little pain may be. We suggest some medications to relieve pain and gain a soothing sensation. Within a short span, one gets relief from pain and recovers vision. At times, it takes two to three months for proper healing and stabilizing of the vision.
Although the patient’s vision recovers, but he has to walk through us for further examinations and exercises. For about five to six months, regular follow-up is required to clear the vision with good health.
