LASIK Surgery in Jodhpur

The assessment may include:

• Measurement of the current vision prescription.
• Evaluation of prescription stability.
• Corneal thickness measurement.
• Corneal curvature and shape assessment.
• Examination of the front and back of the eye.
• Evaluation of tear production and dry-eye symptoms.
• Assessment of pupil size.
• Screening for corneal abnormalities.
• Review of previous eye conditions or surgeries.
• Review of relevant medical history and medications.

People who wear contact lenses may be asked to stop wearing them for a specific period before their measurements are taken. This is because contact lenses can temporarily change the shape of the cornea.

Accurate measurements are important because the laser treatment is planned according to the characteristics of the individual's eyes.

Vision Problems That LASIK Can Correct

LASIK is mainly used for correcting refractive errors.

Myopia

Myopia, commonly called short-sightedness or near-sightedness, causes distant objects to appear blurry. A person with myopia may be able to see nearby objects more clearly but have difficulty seeing distant signs, classroom boards, television screens, or objects across a room.

LASIK can reshape the cornea to help correct suitable levels of myopia.

Hyperopia

Hyperopia, or long-sightedness, can make it difficult to focus on nearby objects. Depending on its severity, it can also affect distance vision.

Certain degrees of hyperopia may be treated with refractive surgery when the eyes meet the required criteria.
