WHAT IS LASIK?
At PLANET LASIK, where innovation meets vision, we proudly present LASIK – an acronym that unveils the magic of Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis. It is a popular surgical procedure used to correct vision problems. It is a safe and effective way to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses. During the procedure, a laser is used to reshape the cornea, improving its ability to focus light onto the retina and thus enhancing vision.
Types of LASIK Procedure
There are several types of LASIK treatments and procedures available, each catering to different needs and conditions. Here are a few commonly performed types of LASIK:
1. Standard LASIK: This is the most common type of LASIK eye surgery. It involves creating a thin flap on the cornea using a microkeratome or a femtosecond laser. The flap is then lifted, and the underlying corneal tissue is reshaped using an excimer laser. Finally, the flap is repositioned.
2. Bladeless LASIK: At PLANET LASIK, innovation meets precision in the realm of vision correction. Step into a world of advanced technology with Bladeless LASIK, a revolutionary approach to achieving crystal-clear vision. Unlike traditional LASIK procedure, laser eye surgery eliminates the need for a microkeratome blade, replacing it with a state-of-the-art femtosecond laser. This laser creates a thin, precise corneal flap, ensuring minimal disruption to the eye’s surface and reducing the risk of complications. Our skilled surgeons orchestrate this procedure with unmatched expertise, crafting a bespoke visual solution tailored to your individual needs.

HOW IT WORKS
BEFORE THE PROCEDURE
Your eyes are precisely measured to identify the perfect lens to suit your vision.
In some cases, a laser procedure may need to be performed before that to avoid the possibility of raised intraocular pressure.
DURING THE PROCEDURE
Prior to the implantation, you will receive topical anaesthetic drops to minimise discomfort. You may also be administered a sedative.
Post that, the specialist will create two micro-openings in the edge of your cornea that will be used for positioning the lens.
AFTER THE PROCEDURE
To complete the procedure, the specialist will instill eye drops which will prevent inflammation and infection.
You will continue to use these drops for several days once you are home.
NOTE: Do not rub your eyes, especially for the first 3-5 days. If you experience pain or notice any sudden decrease in vision, contact your specialist without delay. A few routine eye checkups will be done to ensure everything is perfect.
