  1. LASIK Eye surgery What Is LASIK? LASIK technology is an advanced technology to correct the vision and improve eyesight. At our eye care center, customer satisfaction and safety are at the top of our priority list. Our continuous efforts both in services and building infrastructure in context to the latest technologies set us apart from other eye care centers. Through our latest LASIK technology, we endeavor to provide our patients with the best and safe eye care they deserve. Through LASIK, the eyesight improves quickly and effectively.

  2. How does Eye work? • The normal functioning of the eye is ensured by proper coordination between various parts of the eye both anatomically and physiologically. If all the parts of the eye fail to synchronize, poor vision results. Common vision problems related to the eye include: • Nearsightedness (Myopia): In this condition, the objects near to the eyes are clear to the patients while far objects are blurred. The image in these patients is formed before the retina and not on the retina. The reason may be too long eyeball or too steep cornea. • Farsightedness (Hyperopia): People suffering from this type of eye problem have a problem seeing the near objects while having a clear view of far objects. The image is formed beyond the retina. Too short eyeball or flat curvature of the cornea may lead to hyperopia. • Astigmatism: This problem is found in people with the irregular cornea. Astigmatism may occur in patients simultaneously with myopia or hyperopia. Patients with this problem have blurred visions of the objects whether placed far or near. • What is the measure of visual acuity? • 20/20 vision is commonly heard in context to eyesight. It measures the visual acuity of the eyes. Visual acuity for a long time is measured through the Snellen chart. 20/20 vision means at 20 feet the person can see those things that a person with normal visual acuity can see. Therefore 20/20 is called a normal vision. However, if the visual acuity measures 20/40, it means that you must move closer to 20 feet to see the thing that a person with normal vision can see from 40 feet. The visual acuity score is an important parameter to determine the health of your eyes. Through proper examination it is easy to identify myopia or hypermetropia.

  3. Cost Of LASIK Eye Surgery In Delhi • The cost of LASIK in Delhi depends upon a variety of factors that causes high variations of the cost at various centers. The cost may range from Rs. 18,000 per eye to Rs. 36,000 of rupees depending upon the technology involved in performing LASIK surgery. LASIK surgery is also a surgery and thus high standards of hygiene and safety protocols are required. • A one-time cost of LASIK surgery in more economical in the long run as compared to recurring costs of glasses and contact lenses. • Those centers which use old technology and do not follow minimum safety guidelines and hygiene have low cost as compared to those centers who follow the protocols. The cost also depends upon the experience of the LASIK surgeon and the success rate. Follow-up visit charges and medications also add up to the overall cost. While choosing the LASIK surgeon, the patient should consider various other variables such as dedication of the surgeon and success rate along with the cost factor. • LASIK Technology • Any LASIK procedure consists of two steps: • CREATING A CORNEAL FLAP • TREATING THE UNDERLYING CORNEA WITH A LASER • now we shall discuss the above two points in detail… • creating a corneal flap. • Corneal flap can be created either using a blade or using a laser called femtosecond laser. We at BAJAJ EYE CARE CENTRE use the best of technologies for both of the techniques. In BLADE LASIK we create a flap using not a surgical blade but an instrument called automated computerized microkeratome. For flap creation with microkeratome we use the world’s best and trusted MORIA ONE USE PLUS SBK microkeratome which has a capability of producing very thin flaps measuring equivalent to 90 microns. This technique is called SBK LASIK (sub bowmans keratomileusis ). The thinner flap in the range of 90 microns ( 1 mm is equivalent to 1000 microns ) has obvious advantages.

  4. More residual cornea is left behind thus leaving a thicker residual cornea for a lifelong normal functioning. • Since the flap is cut at a superficial level it results in a lesser dry eyes postoperatively allowing the patient to resume all his activities no sonnertha the next day onwards. • Moria one use plus microkeratome produces very smooth flaps almost equivalent to a femto second laser, thus the post operative vision is very good. • Thinner flaps settle down very quickly with no corneal folds and swelling thus the patient recovers vision almost immediately that is within 15 to 20 minutes postoperatively… a wow factor for SBK lasik. In BLADELESS or BLADEFREE LASIK we are using the most advanced ZEISS VISUMAX FEMTOSECOND laser machine and we take pride in having the first installation in whole of north Delhi for this. • Advantages of FEMTO FLAP on ZEISS machine… hundred percent blade free lasik. Painfree. Very precise and accurate flaps. Fast… IT takes only a few seconds to make a flap. Least expected complications which may occur on other technologies besides Zeiss platform. Flap related complications associated with microkeratomes are minimized or absent with the femtolasik, as it is more precise and more accurate. Femto flaps are more stronger in nature and fit more snugly to the base cornea comparatively.

  5. THE SECOND STEP: TREATING THE CORNEA BENEATH THE FLAP WITH EXCIMER LASER • Here the cornea is reshaped according to the refractive status of the patient. various profiles currently in use are… • Planolasik it is the basic correction which corrects the spherical and cylindrical components of the refractive errors. The disadvantages include post operative glares and haloes especially in higher numbers, the advantage being it is cheaper. • Customisedlasik ( clasik ) here a customization is attempted to be done according to patients corneal and total irregularities called abberations ( higher order abberations …HOA’S). however the drawback in most of the systems is that they are unable to pick up the abberations accurately and after treating them may land up in further abberations and problems caused by them. • Wavefront optimized aspheric lasik….this is supposedly the best technology, here the normal prolate shape of the cornea is maintained even postoperatively which mimics the preoperative shape. Advantages include absence or minimal postoperative glare and haloes which are a part of standard lasik. At BAJAJ EYE CARE CENTRE we use an advanced profile of aspheric wavefront optimized lasik at ZEISS MEL 80 platform, a GERMAN technology which are the world leaders in opto electronics. • Contouralasik: this is just a form of topography guided correction lasik and not much different from conventional lasik.
