Non-Corneal Refractive Surgery in Mumbai

What is LASIK ?

Lasik (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) refers to refractive Laser surgery which gives patients suffering from refractive errors like myopia, hypermetropia and astigmatism freedom from glasses.

MICROKERATOME                                                                                     LASIK FLAP 

ECXIMER LASER ABLATION                                                                  FLAP REPOSITION

Are you a LASIK reject ?

People believe that LASIK is just a simple surgery and everyone with glasses can get it done. But that’s not true.

LASIK procedure alters the shape of the cornea by laser so that the light entering the eye now gets focused on the retina correctly to give the crisp vision.
Only after a detailed preoperative evaluation of the eye especially the cornea the doctor can tell you whether you are a good candidate to get LASIK done, depending on the thickness of the cornea the range of the refractive error that is to be corrected.

Safety is of paramount importance and that should never be compromised for the sake of cosmesis.
Individuals who are not suitable candidates for the LASIK procedure are termed as LASIK REJECTS.

If I am a LASIK reject what are my options for enjoying the freedom from glasses ?

There are other options for correcting the refractive errors and one can opt for anyone according to individual preferences and characteristics of the refractive error one has.

Contact lenses : 

These help overcoming the problems encountered with spectacles use. But, these can be worn for maximum 10 hrs a day and one has to follow the cleaning and hygiene routine strictly so as to prevent any kind of eye infections. Overuse of the contact lenses can give rise to an allergic reaction in the eye which can necessitate their discontinuation in some on a temporary or permanent basis.

Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) :

ICL is a flexible, soft lens made up of Collamer which is a biocompatible substance made by combining Collagen (naturally available in the body) and Polymer.
This is a unique refractive surgery option for the young LASIK Rejects to get rid of their glasses or contact lenses.

IMPLANTABLE COLLAMER LENS

What is the technique of implantation of the ICL ?

The implantation procedure is quick and painless.

It is done after instilling anaesthetic eyedrops. No injections required.

The ICL is implanted inside the eye with a simple 10-15 minutes procedure through a small incision. It works similar to a contact lens designed to fit behind the iris and above the natural lens.

What are the advantages of ICL ?

• No Corneal tissue removed, hence does not alter the natural shape of Cornea
• Painless and quick
• Safer option for the LASIK rejects.
• Corrects higher range of refractive errors including myopia, hypermetropia and astigmatism
• Retains corneal asphericity
• Retains the contrast sensitivity
• Preserves accommodation thereby near vision
• No glare issues in case of people with large pupils
• Stable and no regression 
• It is implanted inside the eye so no maintenance issues as those faced with routine soft contact lenses
• No dry eye issues, which are common with LASIK and other corneal refractive procedures

What are the potential Risks after implantation of the ICL ?

• Over-correction or under-correction of the refractive error : this can happen because of miscalculation of the refractive power of the ICL to be implanted. Mild errors can be corrected by prescribing additional glasses. Rarely replacement may be required
• Cataract formation : almost 60 percent population will develop cataract above the age of 65 years. ICL may accelerate the process of cataract formation by few years but this is rare.
• Increased Intraocular pressure : This used to be a major risk few years before. Now-a-days after the introduction of the designs with central or midperipheral flow channels this risk is almost nonexistent 

Refractive Lens Exchange :

This refers to removal of the natural crystalline lens and replacing it with an artificial Intra-ocular Lens (IOL) for refractive purposes.

Due to the advances in Cataract surgery it has evolved from just a procedure to remove cataractous lens to a procedure focused on the best possible postoperative refractive result.

As the postoperative visual outcomes have become more predictable the use of lens surgery in patients without cataracts as a refractive modality has gained popularity.

What are the advantages of RLE ?

This procedure presents several advantages over corneal refractive surgery.

• Patients with high degrees of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism who are not candidates for laser surgery can undergo this procedure.
• Wider range of refractive errors including astigmatism can be corrected.
• Moreover, presbyopia can currently only be corrected with monovision or reading spectacles. RLE supplemented with multi-focal or accommodating intra-ocular lenses (IOLs) in combination with corneal astigmatic procedures might address all refractive errors including presbyopia, and eliminate the future need for cataract surgery.

Who are the best candidates for RLE ?

• The individuals in their 40s who start developing presbyopia that is difficulty in reading and doing other activities requiring good near vision. Presbyopia is an age related process and such individuals even after undergoing LASIK surgery will require near vision glasses hence not giving them 100% spectacle freedom. On the other hand RLE with multi-focal Intra-ocular Lens will make them completely spectacle free.
• Also beneficial in patients of older age group who will require cataract surgery in relatively near future and hence ameliorates the need for two surgeries in them and gives a better predicted end Visual result.

How is the Refractive lens Exchange done ?

The procedure of refractive lens exchange is exactly same to the routine cataract surgery.
It is done on a day care basis.
Takes around 15-20 minutes.
It is performed under topical anesthesia without any need of injection.

What are the potential risk factors involved in RLE ?

• Overcorrection or under correction of the Refractive Error: this is RARE because of the advanced IOL power calculating machines and softwares available
• Increased floaters
• Decreased contract sensitivity with multi-focal implants
• infection
• Dislocation of the IOL
• Retinal detachment : Very rare. Patients with high myopia are at increased risk of retinal detachment and proper preoperative retinal evaluation will eliminate this complication

The success of any refractive surgery depends on the patient’s understanding and expectations from the procedure. Choosing the procedure which is best suitable for you after discussing and understanding the benefits and risks of the procedure will help you enjoy spectacle freedom.

Get Clear Vision After Eye Cataract Surgery!!!!!

Are you suffering from cataract in one or both eyes? Is the cloudiness of the eye's natural lens is robbing you of your vision and quality of life? You no longer need to live with the vision impairment due to cataracts, thanks to cataract surgery.

Cataracts

Cataract is that it is a clouding of the natural lens, also called crystalline lens, in the eye that affects your daily activities and your ability to drive or read, and eventually leads to vision loss.

The only permanent way to repair a cataract is to have a cataract surgery. People with blurred or misty vision decide to have cataract surgery when the cloudiness in the eye's natural lens gets bad enough where the vision cannot be improved with glasses or contact lens. The surgical removal of cataract is also recommended to prevent other progressive eye diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy- a leading cause of blindness; and macular degeneration- deterioration of the center of the retina which leads to loss of central vision.

Symptoms of Cataracts

    Clouded, blurry vision
    Dim vision along with difficulty seeing at night 
    Double vision
    Oversensitive to light or glare
    Frequent eyeglass or contact lens prescription changes
    Colors appear pale, washed out or faded

Cataract Eye Surgery

 
If you experience any of the above symptoms, or believe your vision is getting worse?

Cataract surgery is a common procedure used to treat cataracts that are affecting your daily activities. Cataract surgery has become quite common among aged people. With a help of cataract surgery, you can get back your perfect vision. It is a very simple surgery that is performed by your ophthalmologist and you are at home in a couple of days. This is a very successful operation to get back vision to the normal condition and there are absolutely no health problems caused by the cataract surgery.

 2 Types of Surgery to Treat Cataracts

•     Phacoemulsification
•     Extracapsular Cataract Extraction (ECCE)

Cataract surgery, medically known as phacoemulsification, surgical methods used to remove cataracts. During the phacoemulsification, surgeon removes the cataract and leaves most of the lens capsule in its place. Phacoemulsification surgery is, as of now, the gold-standard in Cataract treatment. Safe, effective, quick and painless, Phacoemulsification is currently the most common type of surgery.

(ECCE), involves removing the cloudy lens in one piece. This technique requires a large incision of 10 to 12 millimeters in length.

Advantages of Cataract Surgery

Cataract surgery is very simple and almost painless.
It is generally the safest and effective way to restore vision with no serious complications.
It helps you get rid of blurry vision and have a better and clearer vision.

Cataract is an easily treatable eye condition and most people operated with cataract surgery have reported better vision. It is a safe and effective surgical procedure that replaces the cataract affected lens with an artificial lens.

Worried about the condition of your eyes? Do not miss the chance of having a clear and healthy vision

Enjoy spectacle freedom with premium lenses.

When we look at any object, light rays from the object through the transparent cornea and the clear lens to strike the retina and form an image. The retina then relays the image to the brain through a set of wires called as Optic nerves.

What is Cataract?

For normal vision, it is imperative that the lens of the eye is clear and transparent, so that light rays can pass through it. When the lens becomes cloudy or opaque, light rays are not easily transmitted to the retina. This opaque lens is called as Cataract. Cataract usually develops gradually over a period and may affect both eyes in different degrees.

What Causes Cataract?

Ageing is the most common cause. As one ages, the protein in the lens break-down making it rigid and cloudy. Other than aging, many conditions can accelerate the break-down of the lens protein, like.

• Diabetes
• Eye Injury or prolonged exposure to radiation, sun or x-rays.
• Smoking
• Inflammation of the iris, uvea etc.
• Disorders like hypothyroidism and atopic dermatitis.
• Genetic diseases like Down's, Wilson's, Homocystinuria, Myotonic dystrophy etc.
• Infections affecting the baby in the mother's womb like Herpes, Rubella, Syphilis, etc.
• Medications like steroids and haloperidol.

How Does Cataract Affect Vision ?

Cataract develops very gradually and painlessly. It may affect one or both eyes.

• Vision becomes Blurry as if looking through a frosted glass.

   
• 
  

  Halos around object, especially bright lights e.g. Excess glare from oncoming headlights is noticed.
• Loss of contrast sensitivity and dull appearance of colours.
• Poor night vision.
• Need for brighter light to carry out activities like reading.

Treatment for Cataract

Surgery alone is the treatment for Cataract. No medicine or diet can reverse Cataract formation. During the surgery the Cataractous lens is removed and is replaced by an artificial Intra Ocular Lens ( IOL ).

Phacoemulsification Surgery 

Procedure :

Phacoemulsification is the most advanced and accepted form of Cataract Surgery. During this surgery a very small opening of approximately 2-3mm is made in the eye and the cataract is removed by breaking it into small pieces, which are then gently sucked out with the same instrument. The incision taken is so small that it requires no stitches and heals rapidly. This makes it possible for the patient to resume normal activities early.

Once the Cataractous lens is removed, a new Intra Ocular Lens ( IOL ) is inserted in the same place.

There are a variety of IOLs which a patient can opt for. Typically there is a choice between foldable soft IOS and non-foldable hard IOS. Lenses could be either of PMMA, Silicon or Acrylic material. One can opt between Monofocal IOLs or Multifocal IOLs. The foldable IOLs are the most recommended. With monofocal IOL, the distance vision is clear without glasses but one has to wear reading glasses. With multifoal IOL, vision is clear both for distance and near and one is almost independent of glasses. 90-95% spectacle freedom is attained.

Toric IOLS are now available for patient with high cylindrical powers. Multifocal toric IOL can provide patients greatest level of spectacle freedom even if patients have a pre-operative corneal astigmatism.

Cataract surgery is done under topical anaesthesia. The new technique of eye drop anaesthesia (no injection) has distinct advantages over the conventional technique of giving injection anaesthesia.

In certain circumstances, the alternative technique of extra capsular cataract surgery with injection anaesthesia may need to be adapted as felt necessary for the best interest of the patient.

Cataract surgery has very predictable results with high success rate. The latest technique of NO INJECTION, NO STITCH and NO PATCH has made the surgery very easy for the patient; though it is more demanding on the surgical skills of your doctor. In some people natural capsule that support the IOL may became cloudy, several months after the surgery. If vision is affected, then laser can be used to open this capsule in a couple of minutes.

FAQs

When should surgery be done?

Cataract surgery is rarely an emergency surgery and should be considered when vision cannot be improved with new glasses or vision is no longer good enough for daily activities.

Which Lens Should on Select?
Each eye is unique. It is always good to customize the lenses best suited for the eye. Your Doctor will help you in selecting the lens.

Does The Artificial Lens Have An Expiry Date?

The artificial lens is designed to last for the rest of one's life. It needs to be replaced or adjusted only in cases of injury, severe reaction in the eye or dislocation which is very rare.

Do I need To Undergo Any Tests Before Surgery?

Yes. Routine Blood examinations are needed to rule out any infection in the body.

Well controlled Diabetes and Blood pressure are mandatory.

When Will I be Able to Resume My Activities After Surgery?

Most of the patients are back to their routine life in 2-3 days after surgery.

LASIK EYE SURGEY @AFFORDABLE COST IN MUMBAI

Laser assisted in situ keratomileusis or LASIK is an outpatient surgical procedure used to correct refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. With micro-surgical equipments and laser, the cornea is reshaped so that the rays of the light are focused on the retina. Lasik reduces the dependence on glasses and contact lenses and offers true spectacle freedom. It is an outpatient surgical procedure done under topical anaesthesia. The entire procedure takes about 7 to 8 minutes per eye.

Can Lasik Be Done On Everyone?

Anyone who is over 18 years of age and has had a stable glasses prescription for over 12 months can undergo LASIK. The eye should not have any eye disease or eye injury and its complications. One should have realistic expectations.
There are however some very stringent patient selection criteria that one has to adhere to, in-order to give good results. The doctor is the best judge to select the patient for this procedure.

What Are The Special Eye Tests Required?

Corneal Topography & Aberrometry:

This test evaluates the corneal curvature or shape of the cornea and other refractive parameters of the eye. People with conical cornea are not fit for LASIK.

Corneal Pachymetry:

An optimal corneal thickness measured in microns is important fro LASIK as very thin sufficient tissue available to reshape the cornea and eliminate the eye power during surgery. Also very thin cornea can have problems after the surgery.

Retina:

Patient with retinal disease might need to get the disease treated before surgery. Several people with high minus powers have retinal weakness and fraying of peripheral retina which can be darned before Lasik.

Others:

Patients with dry eyes and squint and those who have poor color contrast might require additional management apart from LASIK to get best visual outcome.

Types of Lasik

• Conventional LASIK or Blade LASIK in which a flap is created be an instrument called microkeratome then lifted and the bed below the flap is lasered. This type of LASIK is suitable in almost 90% of eyes.

• Femto second LASIK is the bladeless Lasik; the flap is created by the laser itself.

• Sometimes a Lenticule is cut out in the stroma of the cornea by the laser and sliped out of a small opening this is called Relex Smile. The advantage here is that eyes with thinner cornea can undergo this procedure and healing time is shorter.

Side Effects

Side effects are few, but people may experience discomfort or pain, blurry vision, dryness, glare and haloes around lights. There may be a red patch on the white of the eye, which may persist for a few days. Fluctuation in vision and the quality of vision may vary for some time. Vision may take up to 3 months to stabilize in some cases. Flap related complication and infection are rare.

FAQs

Does LASIK hurt?

LASIK is a painless procedure done under eye drop anaesthesia. One may fell slight pressure on the eye during the flap creation.

How long does it take to do a LASIK?

The actual procedure takes about 10 minutes; the laser itself takes only 20-50 seconds to correct the vision.

When can one resume normal activities?

Visual recovery takes from one day to a week. Majority of patients resume normal activities one to two days after surgery. Complete stabilization can take up to 2-3 months.

When should one stop wearing contact lenses?

Contact lens wearer should discontinue lenses at least a week before the procedure to allow the cornea to take its normal shape before the surgery for the best surgical outcome.

What is vision like after LASIK?

It is important to have realistic expectations. Over 98% of people achieve 6/6 to 6/9 vision without glasses or contact lenses. LASIK corrected vision is permanent however if refractive error is under corrected the result can be fine tuned by a second surgery called enhancement. People beyond 40 years of age can also undergo LASIK for distance vision but will need glasses for reading after surgery.
Those patients who are keen to be spectacle free but unfortunately do not qualify for LASIK can opt for other surgical procedure like Implantable Collamer Lens / Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) or Refractive Lens Exchange surgeries. Kindly contact us to know more about these procedures.
