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.
