Lasik Treatment – Dubai Eye Clinic

What is LASIK:

Lasik is a highly effective and advanced method to correct vision problems such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Using only a laser beam, LASIK aims to permanently improve vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses. The procedure has been proven to be effective and safe, reducing dependency on glasses and improving quality of life.

During LASIK, the doctor creates a flap which is partial thickness of your cornea, then uses an excimer laser to the underlying surface to reshape your cornea and correct the error of refraction. The flap is safely created by a blade.

Who is suitable for LASIK?

• You should be 18 years or older.
• Your eye prescription should not have changed in the last year.
• Your corneas need to be healthy, and your overall eye health must be generally good.

Advantages of LASIK:

• Significant vision improvement.
• Immediate results.
• Short recovery phase.
• Long-term results.
• No bandages or stitches are needed.
• Little to no pain.

Disadvantages of LASIK:

• Small risk of infection or dry eyes.
• Some patients experience temporary glare or halos.

Types of Laser Surgery?

No, there are many types of refractive eye laser procedures used to improve vision, LASIK being one of them. The decision of which to make is taken by the eye surgeon according to the preoperative assessment done at the clinic that shows your corneal parameters.

Other laser surgeries include:

Femto LASIK: same procedure as Lasik but the corneal flap is created by Femto laser beam.
PRK: is a non-flap Lasik procedure, where the outer layer of the cornea called epithelium is removed. Then excimer laser is applied to the corneal surface to correct the error of refraction. The outer corneal layer is removed with alcohol or a blade.
