LASIK Surgery in Surat

A detailed pre-operative eye examination is one of the most important steps in the LASIK process.

The purpose of this evaluation is to determine whether laser vision correction is appropriate and to identify factors that could increase the risk of complications.

The examination may include:

• Measurement of visual acuity.
• Assessment of the current glasses prescription.
• Evaluation of prescription stability.
• Corneal thickness measurement.
• Corneal curvature assessment.
• Mapping of the corneal surface.
• Evaluation for corneal abnormalities.
• Assessment of tear production.
• Evaluation of dry-eye symptoms.
• Examination of the internal structures of the eye.
• Assessment of pupil size.
• Review of previous eye problems and surgeries.
• Review of relevant medical history.

Contact-lens users may need to stop wearing their lenses before certain examinations because lenses can temporarily affect the shape of the cornea.

Accurate measurements are important because LASIK treatment is planned according to the characteristics of the individual eye.

What Vision Problems Can LASIK Correct?

LASIK is primarily used to correct refractive errors.

Myopia

Myopia, commonly known as short-sightedness or near-sightedness, causes distant objects to appear blurry.

A person with myopia may have difficulty seeing distant signs, classroom boards, television screens, or objects at a distance while being able to see nearby objects more clearly.

LASIK can correct certain levels of myopia by changing the shape of the cornea.
