What is LASIK surgery?
LASIK stands for Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis, it is a refractive or vision
correction surgery.
The main intention of the surgery is to help reduce a person's dependency on
glasses or contact lenses to improve vision.
LASIK permanently changes the shape of the cornea which is the clear tissue in
the front of the eye, by doing that the depth and focus of the eye improves
significantly.
The procedure will correct short-sightedness, long-sightedness and astigmatism.
What are the types of laser eye surgeries?
LASIK refers to the most common type of laser eye surgery, how ever there others like SMILE and surface laser treatments.
LASIK
This is done using two lasers, one is used to open a thin incision in the surface of the cornea, while the other reshapes the cornea.
LASIK can heal these kinds of problems in the eye.
- Nearsightedness: also known as Myopia, when looking at close thing your vision is clear but far objects are blurry.
- Farsightedness: also known as hyperopia it is when far things are clear to your vision but close objects are blurry.
- Astigmatism: this happens when an imperfection in the front of the eye causes blurry vision.
SMILE
It's a medical procedure that uses the cutting-edge technology of the Carl Zeiss VisuMax laser, it is also called an innovative laser treatment.
Surface laser treatments
The surgeon will reshape the cornea with a laser; this is done by removing the clear skin that covers the cornea, then after the operation is done it can grow back naturally.
Who can be a candidate for LASIK surgery?
The sucess of the LASIK surgery depends mostly on weather you are a perfect candidate for the operation.
Much like any other medical procedure LASIK requires some criteria to be eligible for the procedure.
Some of these criteria are:
- You must have healthy eyes.
- Your pupils must not be too large.
- The cornea must be thick enough.
- You must be old enough.
- You must have stable vision.
- If you are pregnant, you should delay the surgery.
How to prepare for LASIK surgery?
After knowing that you are a candidate for LASIK, it is now time to get prepared for your
operation.
Your surgeon will tell you all about the preparations that you need to take
before undergoing the surgery.
You will need to drink more water than usual; this will keep your body hydrated
and help the healing process.
Your doctor will also tell you to stop wearing your eye contact lenses, this is
done because lenses can change the shape fo your cornea which altar the result of the
operation.
When you undergo the procedure, the doctor will not be using local anesthetic,
instead the surgeon will use numbing eye drops for the procedure.
You will need to have someone ready on the day of the operation to take you home
when the surgery is done.
It is very advised not to wear any makeup, perfume or lotion on the day of the
operation; you should make sure your face is clean andclear.
What happens during the LASIK procedure?
At the beginning of the surgery, your doctor will use Anesthetic eye drops to numb your
eyes.
You will be awake during the procedure, however you will be given a sedative to
help you relax, there won't be any pain but you might feel a slight pressure on your
eye.
The surgeon will use an eyelid holder to keep your eyes open.
The doctor will use either a Conventional LASIK or an All-laser LASIK to make a
very thin flap in the outer layer of your cornea.
The flap is gently lifted, after that the doctor will use either Excimer laser or
a custom laser to reshape your cornea.
After the reshaping is done, the flap is gently placed back in it's original
place where it would heal naturally.
You may feel itching and burning in your eyes after the procedure is done, and
your vision will be blurry but it will stop by the following day.
Your doctor will also be giving you eye drops to keep your eyes moist and an eye
shield to cover it while it heals.
What happens after having LASIK surgery?
After the surgery you won't be able to use the treated eye perfectly, so you will need to
have someone take you home since you will not be able to drive.
You will have some symptoms after the procedure such as dry and itchy eyes,
sensitivity to light and having a disturbance in your vision like glares, halos or
double vision.
You should not under any circumstances rub or poke your treated eye, doing so
will risk the flap moving from it's position which will disturb the healing process.
Having LASIK surgery doesn't mean that your vision will always remain sharp
forever, the normal eye changing caused by aging is not disrupted by LASIK.

or develop new symptoms then you should contact your doctor immediately.
