LASIK: Symptoms, Classification, Diagnosis & Recovery

Lasik surgery is one of the most popular procedures for correction vision. For problems like astigmatism, myopia, and hypermetropia, Lasik offers a near-permanent solution thereby restoring healthy vision to the suffering individual. Abbreviated from Laser Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, LASIK is a laser-assisted eye surgery that implements microkeratomes for the improvement of visual acuity. The laser is targeted at the cornea, which is re-adjusted or reshaped so as to provide unaided vision to the candidates. Lasik treatment is very popular owing to its remarkable success rates, which is why, approximately 700,000 procedures are performed annually.

The different types of LASIK treatments are distinguished on the basis of candidate's requirement. Hence, the candidates are thoroughly scrutinized before being operated on. The different approaches to the procedure are: 

  • LASEK

LASEK is a comparatively less invasive treatment which uses alcohol to dampen or soften the external layer of the cornea, which makes it easy to be removed. The procedure does not implement laser beam and is used to cure flat corneas. However, the recovery period is comparatively delayed. 

  • Refractive Lens Exchange Surgery

One of the best LASIK treatments, this procedure involves replacement of the natural lens with artificial intraocular to cure a variety of issues. The procedure guarantees high recovery rates and has high long-term success rates since the lens do not age and do not report cataracts. 

  • Phakic Intraocular Lens Implants

The procedure involves implementation of an artificial lens made up of silicone material of plastic, in the space between the iris and the cornea thereby improving the focusing power of the eye. The procedure is extremely beneficial
