In today’s world, vision correction has become easier and more effective with advanced technologies like LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis). LASIK is a popular and safe procedure that corrects common vision problems, reducing or even eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses. At Dr. Sreekanth Eye Care & Research Centre, we specialize in providing advanced LASIK treatment with precision and care.
What is LASIK?
LASIK is a laser-based surgical procedure that reshapes the cornea (the clear front part of the eye) to allow light to focus properly on the retina, improving vision clarity. This procedure is effective for correcting:
- Myopia (Nearsightedness): Difficulty seeing distant objects clearly.
- Hyperopia (Farsightedness): Difficulty seeing close objects clearly.
- Astigmatism: Blurred vision due to an irregularly shaped cornea.
Benefits of LASIK Treatment
- Quick and Painless: The procedure takes about 15-20 minutes for both eyes and involves minimal discomfort.
- Rapid Recovery: Most patients experience improved vision within 24-48 hours after the procedure.
- Reduced Dependence on Glasses or Contact Lenses: Many patients achieve 20/20 vision or better.
- Long-lasting Results: Once corrected, vision improvements typically remain stable for years.
- Customized Solutions: Modern LASIK technologies allow for personalized treatment plans based on individual eye structure.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for LASIK?
LASIK is suitable for many individuals, but ideal candidates typically:
- Are 18 years or older with stable vision for at least a year.
- Have healthy corneas and overall good eye health.
- Are free from eye conditions like glaucoma or severe dry eyes.
- Are not pregnant or nursing, as hormonal changes can affect vision.
