Refractive Surgery

Experience Clearer Vision with Refractive Surgery in Ahmedabad

Refractive Surgery is a medical procedure to fix vision problems (like the need for glasses or contact lenses). It's often done to reduce or eliminate the reliance on glasses and contacts. This surgery is generally suitable for people with stable vision after the age of 18-21 years.

Before performing the surgery, a thorough examination is done, including tests like corneal topography and optical coherence tomography to assess the eye's structure. The eye surgeon then decides on the best refractive surgery option for the patient.

Why do you need Refractive Surgery?

Refractive surgery is a way to fix common vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or presbyopia. Refractive surgeries aim to reshape the cornea or implant a lens in your eye to make sure light focuses correctly on the retina, improving your vision.

The most well-known refractive surgery is LASIK, but there are others like PRK and SMILE, along with several alternative options.

The best option for you depends on your unique needs and lifestyle. It's essential to have a discussion with an eye specialist after an eye exam to determine the most suitable course of action. In some cases, continuing to wear glasses or contact lenses may still be the best choice for you.

Corneal Procedures

PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)

The top layer of the cornea (epithelium) is gently removed, and then an Excimer laser is used to reshape the cornea, correcting vision. A contact lens is placed for a few days to aid healing.

LASIK (Flap-Based Procedure)

A flap is created in the cornea's superficial layer. This can be done using a Microkeratome (a blade) or a Femtosecond laser. After creating the flap, the cornea is reshaped with an Excimer laser. The flap is repositioned once the procedure is completed.

Refractive Lenticule Extraction (ReLEX SMILE/FLEX)

This advanced method uses a Femtosecond laser to create a lenticule within the cornea, which is then extracted through a small incision. This alters the cornea's shape and corrects vision. This procedure doesn't require a flap or the use of an Excimer laser.
