LASER TECHNIQUES OFFERED

Phototherapeutic Keratectomy (PTK)
Treatment for corneal scar

Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK)
Providing treatment for low to moderate degrees of myopia and astigmatism, PRK is done by removing the epithelium or the outer layer of the cornea, and then reshaping and flattening the surface of the cornea using the Excimer laser beam.

LASIK or Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis
This revolutionary technique treats all errors of refraction by altering the shape of the cornea thus allowing light to focus on the retina and correcting all errors of refraction.

Lasik is popular among patients because it is convenient and fairly painless.

EPI-K (Epi-Lasik)
It is a "No blade, No cut" LASIK. An automated epithelial separator with disposable heads that lets the refractive surgeon cleaves the cornea with precision without cutting into it. This process combines the advantages of surface oblation and LASIK with its innovative characteristics.

Candidates for LASIK Treatment must:

• Be at least 21 years old
• Have a stable vision for the past year
• Have a suitable range of refractive errors
• Have healthy eyes; free from complications and injuries
• Not be pregnant or nursing

RECOVERY PERIOD AND SUCCESS RATE

Patients normally have good vision the next day after the treatment. Those undertaking presbyopia treatment will have stabilized vision after two to three weeks, and achieve best vision after one month. With proper screening of patients, rate of complication is close to zero.
