LASIK Surgery in Surat

Hyperopia

Hyperopia, also known as long-sightedness, can make it difficult to focus on nearby objects. Depending on the degree of hyperopia, distance vision may also be affected.

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

Astigmatism

Astigmatism occurs when the cornea has an irregular curvature. This can cause blurred or distorted vision at different distances.

LASIK may correct certain types and degrees of astigmatism by reshaping the cornea.

The amount of correction possible varies between individuals and depends on the condition of the eyes.

How Does LASIK Surgery Work?

LASIK involves reshaping the cornea with specialized laser technology.

Before treatment, numbing eye drops are applied to minimize discomfort. The eye is positioned carefully, and the procedure is planned based on measurements obtained during the pre-operative examination.

A thin layer of the cornea is carefully lifted to provide access to the underlying corneal tissue. A laser is then used to reshape the cornea according to the required correction.

After the reshaping is completed, the corneal layer is repositioned.
