What is Laser Eye Surgery?
Refractive Surgery, more commonly known as Laser Eye Surgery, is the general term used to describe surgical procedures that correct common vision problems, refractive errors and eye diseases. Laser Eye Surgery is received to treat problems such as shortsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism (blurred vision) and presbyopia, with the aim of reducing dependency on prescription eyeglasses and/or contact lenses.
The most commonly performed Laser Eye Surgery procedure is LASIK (laser insitu keratomileusis), with thousands of patients having successfully undergone treatment.
What causes loss of vision?
The causes of loss of vision are extremely varied and range from conditions affecting the eyes to conditions affecting the visual processing centres in the brain. Impaired vision becomes more common with age. Common causes of vision loss in the elderly include diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and cataracts.
Other causes of vision loss:
- Bacterial Infection
- CMV Retinitis
- Corneal Scars
- Eye Tumor
- Ischemic Optic Neuropathy
- Medications
- Onchocerciasis
- Stargardt’s Disease
- Toxins/Poisoning
- Trauma
- Viral Infections of the Eye
- Vitamin A Deficiency
How safe is LASIK?
LASIK has been authorized by the FDA as a safe and effective technique. It’s crucial to keep in mind, though, that LASIK isn’t suited for everyone. Some people aren’t good candidates, and if they are, the results may be less than ideal. To establish if LASIK is correct for you, you need have a complete pre-operative assessment.
What are the advantages of LASIK Laser Eye Surgery?
Advantages of LASIK Laser Eye Surgery include:
- A decreased dependency on reading glasses and contact lenses
- Quick and safe procedures that are performed under local anaesthetic
- Both eyes can be corrected within the same appointment
- Recovery is quick (1 – 2 days)
- Long term side effects are minimal
- Corneas are not weakened, as it is with the Radial Keratotomy procedure
