LASIK Surgery at Nethradhama
Clear vision transforms lives. Imagine waking up and seeing everything sharply, without searching for glasses. LASIK surgery at Nethradhama makes this a reality. Advanced technology, skilled specialists, and safe procedures ensure precise results.
What is LASIK Surgery?
LASIK surgery is a laser-based treatment that reshapes the
cornea
, the clear front part of the eye. It helps correct vision problems. The cornea helps focus light on the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. If the cornea’s shape is incorrect, vision becomes blurry. LASIK corrects this by using a laser to gently remove tiny amounts of tissue, improving focus.
The procedure is quick, usually taking about 15 minutes for both eyes. Numbing eye drops prevent pain, though a brief sensation of pressure may be felt during flap creation. Most people notice clearer vision within 24 hours. Unlike traditional surgeries, LASIK does not require stitches or bandages, as the corneal flap naturally reattaches
LASIK eye surgery helps those with nearsightedness (difficulty seeing distant objects), farsightedness (trouble seeing up close), and astigmatism (blurry vision at all distances). While it is a long-term solution, natural ageing changes in the eye, such as presbyopia, may require reading glasses later in life.
Benefits of LASIK Surgery
LASIK surgery offers life-changing vision correction. It provides clear eyesight without relying on glasses or
contact lenses
. The results are long-lasting, with most patients experiencing permanent vision improvement. However, in some cases, refractive changes may occur over time, requiring enhancements.
Recovery is quick. Most people return to normal activities within a day or two, though full visual stabilisation can take a few weeks. Discomfort is minimal, with only mild dryness or irritation for a short time.
LASIK eye surgery is precise and safe. Advanced laser technology customises the treatment for each eye, ensuring accuracy. It corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism with high success rates, generally over 96% satisfaction globally.
Many patients enjoy an active lifestyle without vision restrictions. Sports, swimming, and travel become easier without worrying about eyewear. Freedom from glasses improves confidence and convenience.
Who is Eligible for LASIK Eye Surgery?
Not everyone can undergo LASIK eye surgery. Certain conditions determine eligibility.
Age matters. You must be at least 18 years old, as vision should be stable before the procedure. Frequent prescription changes suggest ongoing eye development, making surgery less effective.
Healthy eyes are essential. Conditions like severe dry eyes, corneal diseases, or
glaucoma
can affect healing. A thorough eye exam checks for these issues before approval.
A stable prescription is necessary. If your eyeglass or contact lens power has changed in the last year, LASIK may not be suitable yet. Stability ensures long-term results.
General health plays a role. Diabetes, autoimmune disorders, or pregnancy-related vision changes may affect healing. A consultation helps assess individual risks.
Types of LASIK Treatment
Nethradhama offers a range of LASIK treatments, from traditional blade-assisted surgery to advanced bladeless and customised options. Selecting the right one depends on corneal thickness, prescription, and lifestyle. Below are the main types of LASIK treatments available.
1. Standard LASIK (Blade LASIK)
This is the conventional LASIK procedure. A specialised surgical tool called a microkeratome creates a thin, hinged layer on the cornea, known as a flap. This flap is carefully lifted, exposing the inner corneal tissue. A laser then reshapes the cornea to correct vision. Once done, the flap is placed back, acting as a natural bandage to aid healing.
Blade LASIK is effective for correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The procedure is quick, taking about 15 minutes for both eyes. Vision improves within a day, though mild dryness or sensitivity may occur initially.
This method is affordable and widely available. However, since it involves a blade, the flap’s thickness may vary slightly, which is why some patients opt for bladeless alternatives.
2. Bladeless LASIK (Femto LASIK)
Bladeless LASIK, also called Femto LASIK, uses a laser instead of a blade to create the corneal flap. A femtosecond laser makes a precise, thin layer on the cornea. This layer is gently lifted, and another laser reshapes the underlying tissue to correct vision. The flap is then placed back for natural healing.
This method offers greater accuracy and safety. The laser creates a smoother, more uniform flap, reducing the risk of complications. Healing is often faster, and patients report less discomfort compared to traditional LASIK.
Femto LASIK is ideal for people with thinner corneas or those seeking a more advanced option. Many prefer it due to its blade-free nature, making it a top choice.
3. SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction)
SMILE is a minimally invasive
laser vision correction
procedure. Unlike LASIK, it does not create a flap. Instead, a femtosecond laser makes a tiny, lens-shaped piece of tissue (lenticule) inside the cornea. This lenticule is removed through a small incision, reshaping the cornea and correcting vision.
Since no flap is created, the procedure preserves more corneal strength. This reduces the risk of dry eyes and makes
SMILE
a preferred choice for people with active lifestyles or those prone to eye injuries.
Recovery is smooth, with most patients resuming daily activities within a few days. It is a great option for those seeking an alternative to LASIK surgery.
4. PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) – Alternative to LASIK
PRK
is a well-established laser vision correction method. Like SMILE, it does not involve creating a flap, making it a reliable choice for people with thin corneas or those at risk of flap-related complications. However, PRK and SMILE differ in how they reshape the cornea.
In PRK, the outermost corneal layer (epithelium) is gently removed, allowing a laser to reshape the underlying tissue. The epithelium regenerates naturally within a few days. This technique provides long-term vision correction, similar to LASIK surgery, but the recovery period is slightly longer.
5. ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) – For Those Unsuitable for LASIK
ICL is a vision correction option for those who cannot undergo LASIK surgery due to thin corneas, high prescriptions, or dry eyes. Instead of reshaping the cornea, ICL involves placing a soft, biocompatible lens inside the eye, just behind the iris and in front of the natural lens. This lens corrects vision without altering the cornea’s structure.
Step-by-Step LASIK Surgery Procedure
LASIK surgery is a quick and precise procedure. It typically takes 15 minutes for both eyes and follows a structured process for safety and accuracy.
Pre-surgery preparation: Numbing eye drops are applied to prevent discomfort. The surgeon ensures the eye is stabilised, and a special instrument holds the eyelids open.
Flap creation: A microkeratome (blade) or femtosecond laser creates a thin flap on the cornea. This flap is lifted to access the underlying corneal tissue.
Laser reshaping: An excimer laser reshapes the cornea by removing precise amounts of tissue. This correction allows light to focus properly on the
retina
Flap repositioning: The corneal flap is carefully placed back into position. It naturally adheres without stitches, aiding fast healing.
Post-surgery care: Protective shields are placed over the eyes to prevent accidental rubbing. Vision may be blurry initially but improves within a few hours.
Precautions Before LASIK Eye Surgery
Proper preparation helps deliver safe and effective results from LASIK eye surgery. Following these precautions helps minimise risks and improves recovery.
Stop wearing contact lenses – Soft lenses should be removed at least a week before surgery, while hard lenses may require a longer break. Lenses can alter the cornea’s shape, affecting accuracy.
Avoid eye makeup and creams – On the day of surgery, keep the eye area clean to reduce infection risk. Residue from cosmetics can interfere with the procedure.
Stay hydrated and well-rested – Dry eyes can slow healing, so drinking enough water and sleeping well improves comfort post-surgery.
Discuss medications with the doctor – Some medicines, like blood thinners, may need adjustments before surgery.
Arrange for post-surgery transport – Vision will be blurry immediately after the procedure, so driving is not advisable.
LASIK Surgery Recovery Time and Aftercare
LASIK eye surgery recovery time is generally quick. Most patients notice clearer vision within 24 hours, but full healing and stabilisation may take a few weeks.
First 24 hours: Expect mild dryness, light sensitivity, or hazy vision. Avoid rubbing your eyes. Protective shields may be required while sleeping.
First week: Use prescribed eye drops to prevent dryness and infection. Avoid eye makeup, swimming, and dusty environments. Sunglasses help with light sensitivity.
First month: Strenuous activities like contact sports should be avoided. Vision stabilises over time, with follow-up checkups tracking progress.
Long-term care: Regular eye exams help maintain eye health. Artificial tears can ease occasional dryness, especially in air-conditioned spaces.
Risks and Side Effects of LASIK Surgery
LASIK surgery is a safe and effective procedure when performed by experienced specialists. However, like any medical treatment, it may have temporary side effects. Most of these resolve within a few weeks.
Mild dryness – Some patients experience dry eyes, which improves with lubricating eye drops.
Temporary blurry vision – Vision may be slightly hazy or fluctuating for a few days before stabilising.
Light sensitivity – Bright lights may feel intense initially, but wearing sunglasses outdoors helps.
Night vision changes – Some patients experience glare or halos around lights in the first few weeks, but these usually fade.
Rare complications – In rare cases, issues like infection or prolonged dryness may occur. Following post-surgery care reduces such risks.
LASIK Surgery Cost in India
LASIK surgery cost in India varies based on technology, surgeon expertise, and hospital standards. Prices typically range from ₹25,000 to ₹1,20,000 per eye, depending on the type of LASIK treatment chosen.
Standard LASIK costs ₹25,000 to ₹40,000 per eye. Bladeless (Femto) LASIK costs ₹50,000 to ₹80,000 per eye. SMILE Surgery can cost ₹80,000 to ₹1,20,000 per eye.
The LASIK eye surgery cost also depends on pre-operative tests, post-surgery care, and personalised treatment plans. While price is a factor, choosing an experienced eye specialist and advanced technology ensures safety and long-term vision benefits.
