About Lasik surgery
Its commonly reffered to as a laser eye tretment or laser vision correction, this is a type of refractive surgery for the correction of Refractive defects .LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) surgery is a popular and advanced surgical procedure used to fix nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism(fuzzy visison). In the medical world, "keratomileusis" refers to the process of reshaping the cornea and ‘in situ’ means ‘in position’ or ‘in place’. The persons with above the age of 18 and under 50 will get Lasik surgery.

Light Sensitivity: You may be sensitive to bright lights or glare, especially at night
Halos and Glare: Some people notice halos around lights, especially at night, and glare Itching or Discomfort: You may feel mild itching or discomfort in your eyes
Excessive Tearing: Your eyes may produce more tears than usual as they heal, leading to watery eyes.
Redness: Your eyes may appear red or bloodshot Fluctuating Vision: Your vision may fluctuate
Causes
The cause of vision problems that LASIK can correct, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, is related to the shape of the cornea, which is the clear front part of the eye. In a person with nearsightedness, the cornea is too steep, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it.
In a person with farsightedness, the cornea is too flat, causing light to focus behind the retina. In a person with astigmatism, the cornea is irregularly shaped, causing light to focus on multiple points on the retina instead of a single point.
StoolIcon Abnormal eyeball length: Refractive error may occur when the eyeball grows too long or too short.
Lens age: Aging of the lens (an inner part of the eye that is normally clear and helps the eye focus) can lead to refractive errors.
​Types of lasik
-
Traditional LASIK: This is the classic LASIK procedure where a microkeratome or a femtosecond laser forms a thin corneal flap, which is lifted to allow the laser to reshape the cornea. After the cornea is reshaped, the flap is repositioned.
-
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy): In this procedure, the corneal epithelium is removed completely instead of creating a flap. The excimer laser reshapes the exposed cornea directly.
-
LASEK (Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis): LASEK is similar to PRK but involves lifting and preserving the corneal epithelium before using the laser. The epithelium is then repositioned after the cornea is reshaped. It is a better choice for patients who have thinner corneas.
-
Epi-LASIK: Epi-LASIK is a variation of LASEK where a mechanical separator called an epi keratome creates a thin epithelial sheet instead of alcohol or a blade.
-
Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE): SMILE is the newest form of laser eye surgery. It is a minimally invasive laser vision correction procedure that does not form a corneal flap. Instead, a femtosecond laser makes a small lenticule inside the cornea, which is then extracted through a small incision to reshape the cornea and improve vision.
Understanding the Procedure
Overview of the Procedure:
Lasik stands for Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis and is a procedure that permently changes the shape of the cornea ,the clear covering of the front of the eye ,using a excimer laser.
A mechanical microkeratome (a blade device) or a laser keratome (a laser device) is used to cut a flap in the cornea.
Numbing eye drops are applied to ensure that you won't feel any pain during the procedure. You may also be given a mild sedative to help you relax.
A thin flap is created on the surface of the cornea. This flap can be made using a microkeratome (a mechanical device) or a femtosecond laser. The choice of flap creation method depends on the surgeon's preference and technology available.
Once the corneal flap is made, a special laser is used to remove a small amount of corneal tissue according to your treatment plan. This laser reshapes the cornea to fix your vision problem, like nearsightedness or farsightedness.
Once the corneal tissue is reshaped, the surgeon carefully repositions the corneal flap back into place, where it adheres naturally without the need for sutures. The flap acts as a natural bandage during the healing process.
​Advantages of laser treament
Key benefits of this approach include:
-
It will improves vision , providing clear and natural vision
-
People experience rapid visual recovery, with in short days of period
-

-
Without the need for contact lenses, individuals are less likely to experience contact lens-related allergies, infections, and discomfort.
-
here's no need to deal with issues like fogged-up glasses or the daily cleaning and maintenance of contact lenses.
-
Laser eye surgery is a procedure that brings about a permanent alteration in the shape of the cornea, effectively correcting refractive errors.
-
This surgical technique involves creating a flap in the corneal tissue, followed by precise reshaping of the cornea using laser technology.
-
The objective is to enhance vision with minimal invasiveness, reducing the risk of infection and post-operative pain or discomfort.
-
This approach not only results in rapid visual improvement but also provides a long-lasting solution for individuals seeking vision correction.
​Who should prefer laser Introduction
LASIK surgery is a safe and effective option for people who have certain refractive vision problems, Not everyone is the right candidate for LASIK, so it’s important to have a comprehensive eye examination
Stable Prescription: meaning their vision has not significantly changed in the past year,if its still changing wait untill it get stable
Age: LASIK is typically suggested for people over the age of 18 under the age of 50.
Errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism.
If you are altering the eye infections frequently Women who are pregnant or nursing should not consider LASIK surgery and wait until after this period, as hormonal changes during pregnancy can impact vision.
LASIK involves reshaping the cornea, so candidates should have sufficient corneal thickness to safely accommodate the procedure.
LASIK surgery can significantly reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses, it may not assure perfect vision, and some people may still need glasses for specific tasksTherefore, opt for LASIK surgery if you have realistic expectations about the procedure.
LASIK surgery procedure generally involves the following steps:
Overview of the Procedure:
Numbing the Eye: On the day of the LASIK eye surgery, your surgeon will apply anesthetic eye drops to numb the surface of your eye. This helps to minimize discomfort and pain during the procedure.
Placing a suction ring and eyelid speculum on the eye: The surgeon will use these devices to keep your eye in the proper spot and stop you from blinking.
To start the procedure, the surgeon uses a special tool or laser to make a thin flap in your cornea. This flap is like a little door that lets them get to the part of your eye they need to work on.
Next, the surgeon employs an excimer laser to precisely remove a predetermined amount of corneal tissue, reshaping the cornea with exceptional accuracy to correct your refractive error. The excimer laser accomplishes this by employing a cool ultraviolet light beam that eliminates tissue without generating heat, thereby minimizing any potential harm to the surrounding tissue.
Following the reshaping of the cornea, the eye specialist meticulously repositions the corneal flap back to its original position. This flap adheres naturally and securely without the need for sutures, thanks to its inherent adhesive properties.
Preparing for Surgery:
stop using of glasses this break is needed because contacts can alter the shape of your cornea temporarily. Your eyes need to return to their natural state so that precise measurements can be taken.

What Happens During the
Treatment:
Comfortable due to Local Anesthesia: Patients feel comfortable during the procedure with the numbing effect of local anesthesia.and surgeon will use local anesthesia eye drops
Positioned for Comfort: Patients are positioned comfortably during the procedure to ensure ease.
Procedure Noise: The procedure involves some noise from the laser equipment, but patients quickly adjust to it.
Encouraged Communication: Open communication with the medical team is encouraged, allowing patients to express any discomfort or concerns during the procedure
Quick Relief from Symptoms: Patients often experience relief from eye symptoms soon after the procedure, enhancing overall satisfaction with the treatment
