Overview
Refractive surgery encompasses various procedures designed to correct common vision problems such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism, and presbyopia. These surgeries aim to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses by reshaping the cornea or implanting corrective lenses.
Conditions Treated
- Myopia (Nearsightedness): Difficulty seeing distant objects clearly.
- Hyperopia (Farsightedness): Difficulty seeing close objects clearly.
- Astigmatism: Blurred vision due to irregular shape of the cornea.
- Presbyopia: Age-related difficulty in seeing close objects.
Procedures
- LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis): A laser is used to create a flap in the cornea, which is then reshaped to correct vision.
- PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy): The corneal surface is reshaped using a laser without creating a flap.
- SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction): A small incision is made to remove a lenticule from the cornea, reshaping it to correct vision.
- LASEK (Laser-Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratectomy): Similar to PRK, but involves lifting the corneal epithelium before reshaping.
- ICL (Implantable Collamer Lenses): Inserting a lens implant into the eye to correct high levels of myopia or hyperopia.
- RLE (Refractive Lens Exchange): Removing the eye's natural lens and replacing it with an artificial lens, similar to cataract surgery.
Preparation and Recovery
- Pre-Operative: Comprehensive eye examination, discussion of medical history, and selection of the most suitable procedure based on individual needs.
- Post-Operative: Detailed instructions on eye care, use of prescribed medications, and follow-up visits to ensure proper healing and monitor results.
