Femto LASIK is the recent and advanced ocular laser technology. Blade-free LASIK Eye Surgery is a leap ahead of Traditional LASIK Surgery where a Femtosecond laser is used to create a precise flap, while in the Traditional blade LASIK technique, the flap is made by hand. Once the flap has been created, the Ophthalmologist uses the excimer laser waves to treat the refractive error.

Other benefits of Blade-Free FEMTO LASIK

• Gives freedom from uncomfortable contact lenses.
• Immediate spectacle removal procedure that gives perfect 20/20 vision.
• Precise and predictable technology for flap creation.
• Femto LASIK surgery is painless and restores perfect vision in around 15 minutes!
• It is an outpatient procedure which means you do not require an overnight stay in a hospital
• You may require wearing protective glasses for the following 24 hours post-surgery.

Postoperative instructions after Laser Refractive Surgery

The ultimate success to attain perfect vision also depends on careful execution of the postoperative instructions. It’s important to understand that LASIK is a cosmetic eye procedure and it needs utmost care to bring out the best and effective results.

Take care of the following points after undergoing the LASIK procedure:

• Refrain from accidentally touching or rubbing the eyes as that can displace the delicate flap
• Blink your eyes normally during the first day, after the LASIK procedure
• Irritation, watering, and soreness in the first few hours is perfectly normal
• It is important to use the eye drops as prescribed by an Ophthalmologist
• Rigorous physical activity and swimming should be avoided for a month
• Eye make-up and face treatments should be avoided completely for a month

Wear sunglasses to protect the eyes against sunlight.

Touchless Lasik eye surgery is the latest laser technology that helps in correcting vision errors.

• In Lasik and Femtosecond Lasik Laser techniques, corneal tissue is cut by a special knife or a laser beam and then the corrective eye surgery is performed.
• Whereas in Touchless Lasik treatment none of these procedures are carried out and therefore, the surgery gets completed in a single step only.
• Looking at a distant light source for less than a few minutes is sufficient for this procedure.
• The method is biomechanically superior to flap-based Lasik in lower refractive errors

Other benefits of Touchless LASIK

• Touchless Lasik procedure gets completed within few seconds.
• It has no flap related complications
• Bilateral eyes are treated in the same session.
• It is safe for patients with thin cornea.
• Risk of retinal tear is lesser.
• Severity of Dry Eye that develops after the therapy is lesser.

IPCL or Implantable Phakic Contact Lens is most suitable for the patients who cannot undergo LASIK or PRK due to thin corneal profile or extreme refractive error. These lenses correct the refractive error and eliminate the need for spectacles.

Unlike contact lenses, IPCLs are surgically implanted directly into the eye. These lenses are designed to match with the shape of an individual’s eye perfectly. The lens is neither visible nor causes any discomfort to the patients. IPCL eye surgery is safe, painless, and reversible and has proved to be effective in most cases, including presbyopia. The surgery requires proper planning and implantation to deliver best results.

Why Choose IPCL Eye Treatment?

IPCL is similar to a contact lens which is inserted into the eye through a tiny 2.8 mm incision. These intraocular lenses rectify the long-range of myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism (cylindrical power) and presbyopia (both distance and near vision). IPCL offers a high-quality vision and corrects refractive power, enhancing the quality of vision. It is foldable and thus, can be inserted through a small incision which ultimately ensures faster healing. Unlike other laser surgeries, it is possible to remove an IPCL in future, if needed.

Benefits Of IPCL

• No removal of corneal tissue
• It involves no blood loss is a painless procedure and requires no hospitalization.
• Offers an excellent high-quality vision
• The process takes about 8-10 minutes per eye
• Recovery is fast and patients can go back to work within 1-2 days of the surgery.
