LASIK and Spectacle removal surgeries

 

At House of Vision, we offer a wide range of spectacle removal procedures including Contoura LASIK, Trans-PRK, PRK and ICL procedures. We provide safe and effective ways for spectacle removal, which are approved by FDA.

Before taking up the patients for the surgery, a detailed workup is performed to ensure that they are suitable for the procedure with the help of relevant tests. In the patients not suitable for LASIK laser, alternative options like ICL is advised.

​

Depending on the individual needs, a decision is made for surgery after discussing in depth with patients:

• Standard LASIK: A flap is created in the cornea, and the underlying tissue is reshaped using an excimer laser.

• Contoura Vision: An advanced topography-guided LASIK procedure that enhances vision quality by correcting corneal irregularities.

• PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy): A surface-based laser eye surgery that reshapes the cornea without creating a flap, ideal for thin corneas.

• ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens): A biocompatible, reversible lens implanted inside the eye to correct high refractive errors without altering the cornea.

 

Are you eligible for LASIK?

​

The ideal candidates for LASIK operation and other refractive surgeries include

• Individuals aged 18 or older with a stable vision prescription for at least one year.

• Patients should not be pregnant, lactating, or on birth control.

Patients with healthy corneas and no significant eye conditions like glaucoma or cataracts.

 

LASIK is safe for the eligible individuals!

​

• Quick and Painless: The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and takes a maximum of 10–15 minutes per eye.

• Rapid Recovery: You can resume normal activities in a day or two.

• Long-Term Results: LASIK offers permanent correction for refractive errors, although natural aging may affect vision over time.

• Improved Quality of Life: You are no more dependent on your glasses.

Side Effects of LASIK Eye Surgery

​

While LASIK surgery is generally safe, it’s important to be aware of potential risks and side effects:

• Temporary Dry Eyes: Many patients experience dryness, which is manageable with lubricating drops.

• Halos and Glare: Some individuals notice halos around lights, especially at night, during the initial recovery phase.

• Fluctuating Vision: Vision may vary slightly for a few weeks as the eyes heal.

• Rare Complications: Issues like infections or flap-related problems are extremely rare when performed by skilled surgeons.

You need proper aftercare & precautions

​

Proper aftercare is crucial for a smooth recovery and long-lasting results:

• Avoid Rubbing Your Eyes: To prevent dislodging the corneal flap.

• Use Prescribed Eye Drops: You must put your eyedrops as advised, for quick recovery.

• Protect Your Eyes: Wear sunglasses outdoors to shield against UV rays and dust.

• Limit Screen Time: Minimize screen exposure during the first few days to avoid strain.

• Regular check-ups ensure that your eyes are healing right.
