Elegibility

There are several types of refractive eye surgery, including.

SMILE is the latest advance in refractive eye surgery, designed to treat a multitude of refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, and astigmatism. The procedure is known to be ‘gentle’ and involves using a femtosecond laser to create a corneal lenticule which is extracted whole through a small incision without the use of an excimer laser. It is reported to achieve effects similar to laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with excellent post-operative outcomes.

LASIK is the most common type of refractive eye surgery. It uses a laser to reshape the cornea and correct vision problems. During the procedure, a thin flap is created on the cornea, and a laser is used to remove some of the underlying corneal tissue to change its shape. The flap is then repositioned, and the cornea heals on its own.

PRK is similar to LASIK, but instead of creating a flap on the cornea, the outer layer of the cornea is removed, and the laser is used to reshape the underlying corneal tissue.
LASEK is a variation of PRK that uses alcohol to loosen the outer layer of the cornea before it is removed. This makes the procedure less painful and speeds up the healing process.
ICL is a type of refractive eye surgery that involves implanting a lens inside the eye to correct vision problems. Unlike other types of refractive eye surgery, ICL does not alter the shape of the cornea, and it is typically used for patients who are not good candidates for LASIK or PRK.

Refractive eye surgery is usually performed on an outpatient (day surgery) basis, and the procedure takes only a few minutes to complete.

Most people experience significant improvement in their vision within a few days to a week after the surgery. However, it is important to have regular follow-up visits with your ophthalmologist to monitor your recovery and ensure that your vision is stable.

In conclusion, refractive eye surgery is a safe and effective way to correct common vision problems and reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses. It is important to see an ophthalmologist who specialises in refractive surgery for a thorough evaluation and to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. You will receive information about the different types of refractive eye surgery treatments, and this help you make an informed decision about the best option for you.
