Lasik Eye surgeon in Ghatkopar, Mumbai

When it comes to correcting your vision, Clear Sight offers significant benefits:

Based upon your unique needs , your doctor will recommend the laser eye correction procedure that is right for youdifferent platforms available are as follows:

• LASIK (Laser Assisted Insitu Keratomileusis) wherein a thin flap of your cornea is raised and laser ablation to correctpower is done on the corneal ; the flap is then placed back and eyes quickly heal on their own.
• SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is relatively newer technique using only femtosecond laser to remove a small piece of corneal tissue called a lenticule through a small keyhole incision without creating a flap. It is bladeless, flapless and single step surgery.
• PRK ( Photorefractive Keratectomy) reshaped the eye with a laser by entirely removing the surface layer of cornea , so healing may take a little longer.
• Phakic surgery : An artificial lens is implanted just above the natural lens through a small corneal incision. It is like a permanent intraocular contact lens.

What Is Laser Vision Correction?

Laser vision correction is an outpatient procedure requiring local anesthesia and a mild sedative, that's taken orally. Most people experience improved vision immediately after surgery, with minimal downtime, and wake up with good vision the next morning. Vision continues improving over the next few weeks. During this time, our patients receive supportive follow-up care. To know more about Cost of Lasik Surgery in Mumbai.

PLATFORMS USED FOR LASER VISION CORRECTION

Zeiss – VisuMax and MEL-80

Alcon – WaveLight FS200 and WaveLight EX 500

Treatments

Femtosecond Laser

This new generation laser reshapes the cornea with pulses of light lasting just one billionth of one millionth of a second, resulting in very smooth treatments. Using the equipment’s computer-generated 3-D mapping system, your physician customizes your procedure with extreme precision. This laser is used to make the flap in LASIK and to create the thin wafer-like lenticule in the Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE), a single-step laser procedure that is less invasive than LASIK.

Excimer Laser

By using ultra-short pulses of ultraviolet light beams, this laser sculpts the cornea to the proper shape to recover vision quickly with less discomfort. We use the excimer laser directly on the corneal surface to treat patients with thinner corneas or those vulnerable to injuries, such as athletes or first responders. The excimer laser is also used in LASIK to reshape the cornea under a superficial flap made by the femtosecond laser. Different computer guided treatment algorithims are used for so called “wavefront-guided,” “wavefront-optimized,” and ”topographic-guided” excimer laser treatments.

All our lasers use eye tracking technology to ensure meticulous positioning, even if your eye moves during your procedure.

TESTS BEFORE DECIDING THE PERFECT PROCEDURE FOR YOU :

Tests

Comprehensive Exam

A thorough eye examination, with dilated pupils, is the first step toward better vision.

Retina checkup
A through retina checkup is of utmost importance to rule out any retinal pathologies which might cause drop in vision post surgery.

Eye Pressure

Your doctor places a small amount of numbing drops and a special dye in your eye, then uses an instrument called a tonometer to measure the pressure inside your eye.

Corneal Topography and Tomography

This computer-assisted diagnostic tool produces a three-dimensional (3-D) map of the surface of your cornea.

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

This non-invasive imaging procedure allows close examination of your cornea to evaluate the extent of your condition.

Expectations after refractive surgery-

Most of the patients achieve excellent vision after surgery. The new refined laser technology enables quick recovery, good quality of vision and less post-operative side effects. Majority of the patients are happy to carry out their normal routine activities without spectacles and contact lenses. Glasses may be required for near work if the patient develops presbyopia or cataract with age.
