Eye surgery to correct refractive errors

Surgery is one of the common ways to address vision issues. With the latest treatment plan, the refractive errors are addressed. The surgery aims to address the problem effectively, and it will help those who have to wear contact lenses or eyeglasses.

What is meant by refractive errors?

Good vision is determined by how the cornea and lens can focus the light on the retina. The refractive error is likely to occur when the cornea is not in the right shape, and the light is not focused the way it’s needed. In case of refractive errors, the light cannot focus on the retina the way it should be. If you have difficulty managing your eye health, then better consult one of the Best Eye Doctors in Punjab to take the proper measures needed in all ways.

The refractive error can occur when you have healthy eyes. There are four types of refractive errors:

 

Nearsightedness (Myopia) Close Objects Appear Sharp
Farsightedness (Hyperopia) Distant Objects Seen Clearly
Astigmatism Objects Are Seen Blurry At A Distance
Presbyopia Referred To As Aging Eye

 

If you have any of these issues or are diagnosed with any other eye problem, get yourself the proper medical assistance at one of the leading Eye Hospital In Punjab.

Which are the types of surgery done for refractive errors?

  • LASIK Surgery

LASIK surgery is done to correct hyperopia, astigmatism, or myopia. The reshaping is performed through the excimer laser, and in this case, a controlled excimer cold laser is used, which uses a small blade-like femtosecond laser or microkeratome. The advanced method makes it much easier to check the optical distortion and what needs to be done next to manage the situation effectively. Just make sure to get the surgery done at one of the best Eye Hospital so that everything is performed effectively and every step is taken with ease.

  • PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)

PRK is an excellent approach in which an excimer laser is used for LASIK, and it’s done to get the cornea shaped effectively in case of nearsightedness. The excimer laser will reshape the cornea by taking out the tissue from the outer surface. This surgical method takes a few minutes to do everything precisely, and healing takes a few weeks.

  • Radial Keratotomy (RK)

RK is another excellent approach to address mild myopia. During surgery, a tiny cut is made on the cornea, and it is flattened, which further includes changing the curve. Although, it’s not used as LASIK is a better approach than this.

  • Intracorneal Rings

Intacs are used to treat myopia in which thin rings are used. During surgery, it’s implanted on the cornea during surgery, and then the cornea curve is changed, making it an excellent choice for vision improvement.

  • LASIK
Who is a suitable candidate for LASIK?

LASIK surgery is suggested for patients who are diagnosed with myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia.

LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis which is in high demand because of the reason it is included as the refractive surgery. Moreover, the patient can recover quickly after the surgery and experiences minimal discomfort. Studies have shown that around 90% of the patients prefer to get this treatment because of the reason it can make the vision 20/20.

Moreover, the blade-free approach is what increases comfort. The technique is so advanced that within 15 seconds the flap is completed. Following the surgery, you will be able to carry out all your daily activities without any problem.

  • PRK
Who is a suitable candidate for PRK?

Patients diagnosed with presbyopia, astigmatism, and myopia.

PRK stands for Photo Refractive Keratectomy which is the original type of laser eye surgery. Although, LASIK surgery has taken its place still it is suggested in some cases for patients dealing with thin cornea. At present, this approach is blade-free and it can address the eye problem.

This surgery was the first option to solve the vision problem and with PRK the cornea is reshaped. But, with this, the recovery will take longer than the LASIK.

  • ASA
Who is the ideal candidate for ASA?

ASA is suggested to patients who have astigmatism, presbyopia, and myopia.

ASA stands for Advanced surface ablation and this surgery is kind of the same as PRK but the approach used with this is more advanced for relapsing the cornea.

  • LASEK
Who is the ideal candidate for LASEK?

LASEK is suggested to the patients who are diagnosed with Astigmatism, presbyopia, and myopia.

LASEK stands for Laser-Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratomileusis which is kind of the same as PRK. Once the laser is done, the epithelial tissue is going to reposition itself into its place, and then the bandage contact lens is placed so that the eye can heal.

  • EPI-LASIK
Who is the ideal candidate for the EPI-LASIK?

Patients who are diagnosed with presbyopia, astigmatism, and myopia.

EPI-LASIK is kind of another version for the PRK. The difference lies in the way the laser is produced. This procedure came into existence in the 2000s and this would be suitable for the patients who have thin cornea and tissue was not available in the sufficient amount. After 1 week of getting the surgery, you can drive.

  • SMILE
Who is the ideal candidate for the SMILE?

Patients diagnosed with high myopia are suitable candidates for this.

SMILE stands for Small Incision Lenticule Extraction which is a new approach. The procedure is blade-free and there is the use of just one laser. In addition, it uses the femtosecond which helps to reshape the tissue present in the cornea.
