Freedom from glasss and contact lanses has been a dream for people with spectacle power.We now have safe answers for most of the spectacle wearers like PRK,LASIK and ICLs.
Both LASIK and PRK use an excimer laser, which is used to change the shape of the camera(the transparent front window of the eye).We use an extremly fast and accurate machine.Which has been approved by FDA of USA.There are millins of happy patients the world over who have Undergone these surgeries succefully.Laser Surgery for treating Refractive error also known as LASIK, is very safe and also effective ,provided done with proper patient selection.All eyeys and all patients are not ideal candidates for LASIK and so iudicious patient selection after thorough eye chekup is mandatory.Now data od mmore than 20 year follow up of patients who had undergone LASIK are available providing the fact that Lasik is absolutely safe and effective.
For very high number and in patients whose comes are not thick enough for the these surgeries ,we now have opitions like ICLS An ICL is an artificial Lens, Which is your natural lens.This is differently from an IOL Which is the lens used in contaract surgery.ICL procedure is areversible surgery if need arises in future.Imagine the change in life style of a patient who has spent all his life using -20.0 spectacle number.The joy of freedom from glass,as some patients have told us is like throwing away crutches.
