Understanding LASIK Procedures
Overview
LASIK surgery involves the use of advanced computer software to guide the IntraLase laser beam, which creates a series of tiny, 3-micron-diameter bubbles within the central layer of the cornea. This process forms a corneal flap with precise depth and diameter, as determined by the surgeon. Similar to the mechanical microkeratome method, a small section of tissue at one edge is left uncut to form a hinge. This hinge allows the surgeon to fold back the flap and access the cornea for reshaping and vision correction.
Safety and Effectiveness
LASIK has been recognized as a safe and effective eye surgery method. A long-term study published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology by Professor Michael O'Keeffe tracked LASIK patients over five years, confirming its success.
The LASIK Procedure
1. Anesthetic Application: Anesthetic drops are applied to numb the eye.
2. Flap Creation: A protective flap is gently created and lifted by the surgeon, exposing the inner corneal tissue.
3. Laser Application: Computer-controlled pulses of cool laser light reshape the inner corneal layers to match your contact lens or glasses prescription. You may hear a ticking sound as the laser works.
4. Flap Replacement: The surgeon aligns the flap back into its original position, where it heals naturally and securely.
5. Recovery: Some patients might experience slight irritation for a few hours, but most feel comfortable after resting.
Post-Procedure Follow-Ups
Patients usually have follow-up appointments the day after the treatment, and then at least one month and three months post-procedure. Some may require additional visits. Our team is available 24/7 for any questions or concerns.
