Ophthalmologists typically prescribe corrective
glasses for distance vision problems. However, corrective glasses may become
bothersome to wear, especially when they make you feel and look unattractive. If
this is the case, consider LASIK treatment in Bangalore. Bladeless
LASIK treatment can eliminate the need to wear corrective glasses
forever as it helps correct your vision. As long as you are a good candidate
for the surgery, laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) can correct your
vision by reshaping your cornea and improve the way your eye can focus light onto
your retina. The laser treatment is performed using the femtosecond laser which
creates precise corneal incisions.
LASIK treatment is offered at various reputable
and accredited eye hospitals in
Bangalore, but before you consider the procedure, you need to let a
qualified ophthalmologist see you for a check-up. The procedure uses lasers to
reshape the cornea and the treatment is permanent. Hence, it is important for
the eye doctor to evaluate you and determine if it is the right treatment that
can correct your vision.
Before you go for LASIK
surgery in Bangalore, it is important to set realistic expectations on
the results of the surgery. LASIK corrects your need for distance vision
glasses due to refractive errors like myopia, hypermetropia and astigmatism. Good
candidates for LASIK surgery are typically individuals who are at least 18
years old and have no change in their spectacle power for a year. A scan of the
corneal surface known as corneal topography is done before the procedure and
should be normal. High spectacle power can be associated with weak areas in the
retina. These can be safely treated prior to the LASIK treatment and is not a
contraindication. Patients with diabetes can undergo the procedure after blood
sugar control.
The procedure is safe and painless and one can
quickly resume regular day to day activities. Computer, television and mobile
phone viewing can be restarted from the very next day.
