About

Lasik Surgery

Lasik stands for “Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis.”

Lasik surgery helps to correct the vision of patients suffering from myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism.

When light doesn’t focus on the retina properly, the vision starts appearing blurry. Lasik surgery helps to reshape the cornea to enable light to focus on the retina which results in clearer vision.

    Need for Lasik Surgery

    The need for Lasik surgery arises in the following situations

    Nearsightedness (Myopia)

    When the cornea curves of your eyes are too sharp, the light rays can’t focus on the retina perfectly and this situation blurs distant vision. You can see objects that are close but it gets difficult to see objects that are far away.

    Farsightedness (Hyperopia)

    When your eyeball is shorter or your cornea is flat, the light focuses behind the retina. This leads to blurry near vision and difficulty in sight.

    Astigmatism

    When the eyeball is not shaped perfectly it fails to properly reflect the light to the retina which makes it harder to focus.
