Glasses and contact lenses are effective ways to correct refractive errors, but some people prefer a long-term vision correction option that can reduce their dependence on spectacles. Refractive surgery includes a range of procedures designed to correct refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.

Save Sight Centre Eye Hospital, a well-established eye hospital in North Delhi, has more than 15 years of experience in providing comprehensive eye care and refractive surgery services. The centre has performed 50,000+ refractive surgeries, including procedures such as LASIK, ICL and IPCL, making refractive surgery an important part of its clinical experience.

What Is LASIK Surgery?

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a laser vision correction procedure that reshapes the cornea to correct certain refractive errors. The aim is to improve unaided vision and reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses in appropriately selected patients.

However, LASIK is not suitable for everyone. A detailed LASIK work-up is important before deciding whether laser vision correction is appropriate.

Factors such as eye power, corneal thickness and shape, tear-film health, age, previous eye conditions and overall ocular health may be considered during the evaluation.

Types of Refractive Surgery

LASIK is only one of several refractive surgery options. Depending on the patient's eye condition and suitability, an ophthalmologist may discuss different procedures, including:

1. LASIK

LASIK uses a laser to reshape the cornea and correct refractive errors. Different LASIK techniques may be considered depending on corneal measurements and the patient's individual requirements.

2. Femto LASIK

Femto LASIK uses a femtosecond laser to create the corneal flap instead of a traditional blade. It may be considered for suitable patients based on their corneal characteristics and treatment requirements.

3. Contoura Vision

Contoura Vision is a topography-guided laser vision correction approach that uses detailed corneal mapping to plan treatment for suitable patients.

4. TransPRK

TransPRK is a surface-based laser vision correction procedure that does not require creation of a traditional corneal flap. Recovery can differ from LASIK, and suitability is determined after an eye examination.

5. SmartSurf

SmartSurf is a surface laser vision correction technique that does not involve creating a conventional LASIK flap. It may be considered for selected patients after evaluation.

6. ICL

Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery involves placing a specialised lens inside the eye to correct refractive errors. It can be an option for some patients who are not suitable candidates for corneal laser procedures.

7. IPCL

IPCL, or Implantable Phakic Contact Lens, is another lens-based refractive surgery option. Like ICL, it may be considered for patients with certain refractive errors when laser vision correction is not appropriate.

The most suitable procedure depends on individual eye measurements and clinical assessment. There is no single refractive procedure that is right for every patient.

Why Is a LASIK Work-Up Important?

A LASIK consultation should involve more than simply checking your spectacle number. A comprehensive work-up helps the ophthalmologist understand whether your eyes are suitable for a particular refractive procedure.

Depending on the clinical assessment, the evaluation may include:

Detailed eye-power assessment

Corneal thickness measurement

Corneal topography and tomography

Evaluation of the tear film and ocular surface

Examination of the retina and other eye structures

Assessment of overall eye health

These findings help the surgeon determine whether LASIK or another refractive procedure may be more appropriate.
