LASIK LASER is Laser in situ Keratomileusis.
This is a
technique in which the curvature of cornea is changed using Excimer laser
energy under a thin
corneal flap. Science is not magic but the whole
experience is almost magic like.In a malter offew minutes your whole world is focused
and the dream of natural vision becomes a reality that too without any
spectacles or contact lens and the best part is it is permanent.
Excimer Laser is an ultraviolet laser formed by using
premixed gas mixture of argon & fluorine. This creates a non thermal
cool beam of laser light. This beam breaks the molecular bonds between the
cells of cornea the process being called photo ablation.
Wavelight is the
laser with the smallest flying spot laser so far, and thus causes least tissue ablation to correct the
refractive error or in the Simple language this laser beam engraves the
appropriate spectacle lens or contact lens in your cornea by causing least
tissue ablation. No other structure inside the eye is affected by this
treatment.
