Spectacles removal laser treatment, commonly referred to as LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis), is a popular and effective surgical procedure used to correct vision problems like nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. This procedure aims to reduce or eliminate a person's dependence on eyeglasses or contact lenses by reshaping the cornea, the transparent front surface of the eye.

Here is a description of Spectacles removal laser eye treatment:

Pre-operative Evaluation :  

• Before undergoing LASIK, a comprehensive eye examination is conducted to assess the overall health of your eyes and determine your candidacy for the procedure. Factors like corneal thickness, eye prescription stability, and general eye health are evaluated.

Anesthetic Eye Drops :  

• On the day of the procedure, numbing eye drops are applied to ensure you do not feel any pain during the surgery. Your eye(s) will be completely numb.

Creation of Corneal Flap :  

• LASIK is a two-step process. In the first step, a corneal flap is created. This can be done using a microkeratome (a specialized surgical blade) or a femtosecond laser. The surgeon will discuss which method is best for your specific case.

Reshaping the Cornea :  

• After the corneal flap is created and lifted, the surgeon uses an excimer laser to precisely reshape the underlying corneal tissue. This reshaping is based on your unique eye prescription, which was determined during the pre-operative evaluation.

Recovery :

• Most patients experience a rapid improvement in vision within the first 24 to 48 hours after surgery. However, it may take a few weeks for vision to stabilize fully.

Contoura Vision is known for its precision and ability to correct not only common vision problems but also subtle corneal irregularities, resulting in improved visual outcomes and reduced chances of postoperative glare and halos. However, it's important to note that not everyone is a candidate for Contoura Vision, and eligibility depends on various factors determined during the preoperative evaluation. Consulting with an experienced ophthalmologist is the first step to determine if Contoura Vision is right for you.
