LASIK is an abbreviation for Laser Assisted in Situ Kerato-mileusis. Situ is Greek word for "inthe natural or normal place". Kerato is the Greek word for Cornea and Mileusis means "to shape". It's popularly known as Laser Eye Surgery. It is a type of refractive surgery for correcting vision (Eye Number) problem with use of Laser Technology. LASIK is the standard surgical treatment for vision problems i.e. near vision or far vision. LASIK is performed by skilled Eye Surgeon-OPHTHALMOLOGISTS. Eye surgery is gaining popularity in India both among the public as well as among ophthalmologists. Today, the highest international quality of eye care for cornea, cataract, squint and glaucoma is available in over 40 centers all over India. When it comes to reliability, we have the best ophthalmic surgeons with clinic-academic expertise honed to perfection in the best possible institutions.
Eye Surgery listgoes as follows:
Refractive Surgery (yep, this includes LASIK)
Cataract Surgery
Glaucoma Surgery
Corneal Surgery
Vitreo-retinal Surgery
Eye muscle Surgery
Oculoplastic Surgery
Eyesurgery, also known as ocular surgery, is surgery performed on the eye
or its adnexa, typically by an ophthalmologist. The eye is a fragile
organ, and requires extreme care before, during, and after a surgical
procedure. An expert eye surgeon is responsible for selecting the appropriate
surgical procedure for the patient, and for taking the necessary safety
precautions. In the human eye, the front surface (cornea) and lens inside the
eye form the eye's "focusing system" and are primarily responsible
for focusing incoming light rays onto the surface of the retina, much like the
lenses of a camera focus light onto the film. In a perfect optical system, the
power of the cornea and lens are perfectly matched with the length of the eye
and images are in focus; any mismatch in this system is called a refractive
error, and the result is a blurred image at some location. Glasses or contact
lenses are used to compensate for the eye's refractive error by bending light
rays in a way that complements the eye's specific refractive error. In
contrast, Lasik and other forms of refractive surgery are intended to correct
the eye's refractive error to reduce the need for other visual aids.
