About LASIK

Lasik is one the most popular and common surgeries that can correct a wide spectrum of eye disorders like shortsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism so that the candidate could quit wearing glasses and enjoy healthy and natural eyesight afterwards. Eyesight will improve a lot after the surgery, and the patients would no longer need eyeglasses or contact lenses after the post-operation recovery period.

Recommended for 

Lasik is recommended to people who suffer from shortsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.

Before LASIK

Eye specialist doctors will examine the patient’s eyes thoroughly before the operation, to make sure the eyes enjoy proper health and have suitable conditions for the surgery.

During LASIK

Even though Lasik surgery is sensitive and requires accuracy; it is a day surgery. It lasts less than 30 minutes. Before the surgery, a desensitising drop will be applied to the eye. After complete desensitisation, a suction ring will be put on the eye so that excess liquids will be removed before the surgery. The surgeon then uses a tool called speculum to stop the eye from involuntary blinking during the surgery.  After these initial steps, the surgeon cuts and removes a thin layer of the cornea using a micro cutter. After the flap is opened, the surgeon will gain access to the cornea so that the central part of the cornea can be scraped by laser, and the vision of the patient can be improved.  Depending on the degree of weakness of the eye, the depth of scraping will vary. After this step, the thin layer of cornea will be placed back. The interesting point about Lasik surgery is that there is no need for suturing, and after a while, the eye tissue will be healed on its own.

Anaesthesia 

There is no need for total anaesthesia in Lasik surgery, and local desensitisation or limited anaesthesia may suffice.  Duration The length of the surgery is between 30 minutes to 1 hour. 

Recovery

Post-procedure care

As post-operation care, eye drops like Betamethasone or Fluorometholone should be used for up to 3 months, under the doctor’s advice. Patients get to rest totally and off work for one week until their vision gets stabilised. It is recommended to avoid taking a shower for a week after the operation and refrain from applying makeup to the eye and eyelids for two weeks.

Possible discomfort

Right after the surgery, the patient may experience itchiness, burning sensation or watery eyes, which is commonly expected and will improve over time. However, if the pain and burning sensation are beyond the patient’s tolerance, applying ice, or dry cold towels which have been refrigerated before is recommended.  Taking pain killers is one of the options available to reduce pain. It is also expected that the vision will deteriorate after 24 hours from the surgery or up to a month, but it will correct itself afterwards.

Highlights

Success in Surgery

The Lasik surgery success rate is more than 90%; however, there are cases that patients may suffer from possible damages from the surgery. That is when the over or under scraping may have happened. Therefore the patient may need a second operation or use contact lenses or glasses.
