LASIK Surgery at Mitra Eye Hospital, Phagwara

Mitra Eye Hospital in Phagwara is renowned as the best LASIK hospital in Punjab for its expertise in LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) surgery, a popular and effective procedure for correcting refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. Our state-of-the-art technology and experienced surgeons ensure exceptional outcomes and a high level of patient satisfaction.

Understanding LASIK Surgery

LASIK surgery reshapes the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, to improve how light is focused onto the retina, thereby enhancing vision. This procedure is ideal for individuals who want to reduce or eliminate their dependence on glasses or contact lenses.

Advanced LASIK Technology

At Mitra Eye Hospital, we use the latest and most advanced technology for LASIK surgery, ensuring precision, safety, and excellent visual outcomes:

  • Wavefront-Guided LASIK: This technology creates a detailed map of the eye’s unique imperfections, allowing for a highly customized treatment that enhances visual acuity and quality.
  • Femtosecond Laser: Our bladeless LASIK procedure uses a femtosecond laser to create a precise corneal flap, enhancing the safety and accuracy of the surgery.
  • Excimer Laser: The excimer laser is used to reshape the cornea with high precision, correcting refractive errors and improving vision.

Benefits of LASIK Surgery

LASIK surgery offers numerous benefits, including:

  • Rapid Recovery: Most patients experience improved vision within 24 hours and can resume normal activities shortly after the procedure.
  • Long-Lasting Results: LASIK provides permanent vision correction for the majority of patients, reducing or eliminating the need for corrective eyewear.
  • Minimal Discomfort: The procedure is quick, typically taking less than 30 minutes, and involves minimal discomfort during and after surgery.
  • High Success Rate: LASIK has a high success rate, with the majority of patients achieving 20/20 vision or better.

Patient-Centered Approach

At Mitra Eye Hospital, we prioritize patient care and satisfaction. Our experienced ophthalmologists conduct thorough pre-operative evaluations to determine candidacy for LASIK surgery and create personalized treatment plans. We take the time to explain the procedure, address any concerns, and ensure that our patients feel comfortable and confident.

Post-Surgery Care

Our comprehensive post-surgery care includes follow-up appointments to monitor healing and ensure optimal results. We provide detailed instructions on post-operative care to promote a smooth recovery and maintain the best possible visual outcomes.

What are the steps to perform the LASIK procedure?

3 steps to perform LASIK Surgery are:

  • Use of Mechanical Surgical tool: It uses a mechanical surgical tool named a microkeratome or a femtosecond laser which creates a thin and circular flap in the cornea. Surgeons fold the hinged flap to reach the underlying cornea named as stroma.
  • Reshape the corneal stroma: Then the excimer laser is used to reshape the corneal stroma. The specialized laser uses the cool ultraviolet light beam to take out the tissue from the cornea to reshape it so that more light focuses on the retina to improve vision.
  • Corneal comes in the place: With this, the corneal flap will be put in its place and that too without the need of stitches.

What does LASIK Eye Surgery Involve?

LASIK is the best and most effective eye surgery. The retina is the part where images are focused and it is present on the back of your eyes. But due to the eye problems, it focuses on somewhere else and the vision gets blurry.

  • Nearsightedness (myopia): Eye problem where you can see close objects but objects present at a distance are not visible.
  • Farsightedness (hyperopia): Eye problem in which you can see objects present at a distance but close objects are blurry.
  • Astigmatism: It causes overall blurry vision in which the cornea becomes flat or curves. Due to which the near & distant vision is affected

Different types of Laser Eye Procedures

Well! Every surgeon has the expertise and skills to perform a specific laser eye surgery. Some cases are minor and some of them have huge problems. According to your condition, the doctor will let you know which type is best for you:

Lasik Eye Surgery
Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK)The top surface (epithelium) is taken away, which takes around 3 to 4 days to recover. It leads to blurred vision & moderate pain for some time.
LASIK is a preferred choice to treat patients with severe nearsightedness.
Laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy (LASEK)The doctor creates the flap with a cutting device and the cornea is exposed. This way less part of the cornea is taken away and if you have thin cornea it is best for you. Although, it does not have significant benefits over LASIK.
Epithelial laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis (epi-LASIK)The epithelium is separated from the mid-part of the cornea with a blunt blader device and the cornea is reshaped with the laser.
Implantable lensesCorrective lenses are added to improve vision. It is done along with cataract surgery

What to expect before LASIK Surgery?

The eye surgeon will perform an eye examination to make sure you are a good candidate to undergo this vision correction procedure.

What to expect during LASIK Surgery?

The doctor will make sure that there is no unusual risk that your eye will become dry following LASIK Surgery. It is better that you do not wear the contact lenses 2 weeks before LASIK.
Make sure that you wear the contact lenses for the specific period the doctor has advised you. If you do so, the contact lens shape will get altered and the results will get affected.
Before the surgery, the doctor will put numbing eye drops to prevent discomfort with the procedure and you will feel relaxed during the treatment.

What to expect after LASIK Surgery?

You feel a burning sensation or itching for some time. You need to ask someone to take you home after the surgery and it is better to not drive until the doctor tells you so. After the procedure you will experience:

  • Blurry Vision
  • Haziness
  • Condition is stabilized within a few days
  • A follow-up appointment with the doctor
  • Doctor checks your visions
  • Take the medications on time

What is the long-term effect of LASIK Eye Surgery?

Through LASIK Eye Surgery the quality of life will improve. In most cases, the vision is 20/20 or even better. The need to wear contact lenses or glasses will be lower as compared to earlier.
Some patients get sensitive to sunlight after surgery so your doctor might prescribe you photochromic lenses.

Do you have healthy eyes?

The ideal candidate for this surgery is the one with no unusual vision issue or moderate level of refractive error. This is the reason, the doctor gets all the information about your eye health and evaluates it carefully. If you have these conditions then the doctor will not suggest the surgery:

  • Eye condition which continuously affects the eyes
  • Keratitis, uveitis, herpes, or any infection simplex affecting the eye area
  • Dry eyes
  • Glaucoma
  • Cataracts
  • Large Pupils
  • Lid problem or eye injuries
Who cannot undergo LASIK

Is your overall health Okay to undergo LASIK surgery?

If your general health does not seem fine, then the doctor will not give the green signal to undergo the treatment. Doing so will affect the possible outcomes and it can occur due to:

  • Health condition which affects the immune system
  • Diabetes
  • Depression
  • Taking immunosuppressive medications
  • Depression or chronic pain problems like irritable bowel syndrome, migraine, and much more.

What to Expect with LASIK?

In most cases, the patient will have an excellent vision that remains for many years. Whether you want to play sports or do an activity in the morning, you will be able to do that without the need to wear glasses or contact lenses. But, as you age the need to wear eyeglasses will increase. Although results are effective, not enough study is done to understand the long-term effect of this surgery.
As the technology and procedures keep on refining, so do the results and benefits the patient will get. Just make sure you are following the doctor’s instructions and going for regular check-ups.
