These perfect vision operations in Mumbai have helps many people in removing glasses in Mumbai. Many patients considering refractive surgery are interested in comparing the advantages of laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) over excimer laser surgery (PRK) alone.
In PRK, the surface remodeling, with the laser, of the corneal epithelium (front surface layer) can cause significant corneal compromise. In LASIK, the corneal epithelium remains intact. This results in a much faster recovery, a smoother corneal surface and better optical quality. The LASIK procedure also has a reduced risk of infection with less need for potentially hazardous prophylactic steroids. In addition, LASIK has a much greater range of vision correction. Advantages of lasik surgery conducted at Doctor Eye Institute, Mumbai are mentioned below:
Advantages of LASIK surgery:
- Bowman's layer is spared.
- No removal of the corneal surface tissue is necessary and therefore post-operative pain is substantially reduced.
- Post-operative visual acuity is restored within a few days rather than weeks.
- Eyedrops are usually discontinued after one week.
- Stability usually occurs within one to three months.
- Less corneal scarring in the long term, less change due to healing (regression) and thus greater stability of the correction. A key advantage of the LASIK procedure, especially for patients with a high degree of myopia, where a large amount of Excimer Laser ablation would be necessary.
- LASIK allows correction of myopia, astigmatism, and hyperopia in the corneal bed, underneath the flap.
