Lasik Eye Surgery

It has been quite a few decades that Lasik eye surgeries have been around and it continues to shine with the advancement of technology. The Food And Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Lasik eye surgery. This is the reason why its related operation has gained a lot of popularity over the course of time. It is pretty evident in improving the visual clarity for nearsightedness, astigmatism, and farsightedness.

Lasik surgery is indeed one of the first laser-guided operations that help you reshape the cornea efficiently. It is a procedure, that the lasik surgeon in punjab world for almost all types of refractive errors.

SMILE Eye Surgery

Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) eye surgery is a new version that has very few side effects. In fact, it is even less invasive than Lasik eye surgery and that is a plus. However, it is only limited to those patients who have myopia and are also sometimes associated with astigmatism.

You should also know that there are quite some important differences between SMILE and LASIK. But the pros and cons overlap each other a lot. In fact, in most cases, the charges for both procedures are roughly the same with the same amount of time for healing. It also has similar side effects and corrects the refractive errors within the same range.

You will not know which procedure will be the best suitable for you- SMILE or Lasik eye surgery. Hence, you must visit our Eye Hospital In Punjab and consult them before finalizing any decisions.

Lasik And SMILE Eye For Refractive Errors

One of the most common forms of vision problems is a refractive error. In this problem, you will have issues with the shape of the cornea which will cause a challenge for you to see anything clear at a certain distance. One of the most common forms of refractive errors is nearsightedness or myopia. Astigmatism, hyperopia (farsightedness), and presbyopia (age-related farsightedness) are also quite common.

For many years, glasses have been the only or the best way to correct your double or blurry vision. After that, medical science introduced contact lenses and they became one of the leading ways to correct vision. But even though it has a lot of benefits, contact lenses gradually become an uncomfortable option. It can also cause various infections, it requires a lot of maintenance, and it still does not correct your vision permanently or on a long-term basis.

On the other hand LASIK eye surgery is one of the best options but not for all. It was a starting but with time, the advancement in the medical field has introduced other options which are much more reliable such as SMILE. It is a laser vision correction technique that many doctors conduct to correct vision on a long-term basis.

Major Differences Between LASIK AND SMILE

  1. LASIK treats all refractive errors. SMILE treats myopia, but not farsightedness.
  2. LASIK needs a flap for the doctor to cut open the cornea. SMILE reshapes the top of the cornea to flatten it with the help of a flap.
