Eye Laser surgery-Feasible treatment option for vision

 One of the most popular types of eye laser surgery is LASIK, which stands for laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis. This type of eye surgery changes the shape of the cornea. The cornea is the clear membrane that stretches over the iris and your pupil. After the surgery, the cornea should focus the light in the ideal way it should on your retina rather than on a point at behind or in front of the retina. This is what causes the farsightedness and nearsightedness.

If you want to think about eye surgery, your ophthalmologist will discuss various types of laser surgery with you apart from regarding multifocal lens implants.  One of the types is the PRK, in which the top layer of the cornea, known as the epithelium, is scraped away.

Other types of laser eye rectification are LASIK, which utilizes a microkeratome metal blade to make a physical cut to the cornea and thereby creating a flap. The excimer laser then reshapes the eye. After the reshaping, the flap is put back into its position. This doesn’t create pain in most of the patients. The best benefit is that vision is rectified instantly.

Your eye specialist will possibly suggest that you discover other types of vision treatments for ailments caused by a diabetic eye disease before you go for a laser eye correction process. Obviously conventional optometry methods like contact lenses or glasses, which will cost much less than surgery is one option. Unlike the disease of the eye, cornea shape is not a progressive issue hence it shouldn’t get worse. Sometimes they actually get better as we age. Cataracts are never removed with laser eye surgery of any type. Though the operation just takes just a few minutes, it is not done through laser procedures. Discuss all the alternatives before determining any one vision rectification process.
