LASIK SURGERY DR. HIMANSHU MEHTA LILAVATI HOSPITAL NANAVATI HOSPITAL VISSION EYE CENTRE
LASIK LASER REFRACTIVE SURGERY VISSION EYE CENTRE
Precise Ablation VISSION EYE CENTRE
Principle of Laser Refractive Surgery • Cornea contributes 2/3 of the refraction of the eye • If we can decrease the convergence power of the eye, we can correct myopia • We can use the excision power of the laser to flatten the central cornea and correct myopia
LASIK-Technique • The microkeratome makes a horizontal cut on the cornea • Slice is not excised completely • A tongue like flap is removed to one side • The laser is applied in the usual manner • The flap is replaced and sticks in place
