LASIK Surgery In Assam
LASIK Surgery is one of the most widely utilized corrective eye surgeries in Assam. LASIK stands for laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis, and it is a specialized procedure that involves reshaping the cornea, or the clear outer layer of the eye. LASIK can be used to treat myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism, which is an imperfectly shaped cornea. LASIK can correct mild-to-moderate vision problems with a high degree of accuracy and safety.
During LASIK Surgery, the surgeon uses either a femtosecond laser or microkeratome to create a flap in the cornea. The surgeon then folds back the flap and uses an excimer laser beam to remove some of the corneal tissue to reshape it. After this, the flap is placed back into position and LASIK Surgery is complete. LASIK Surgery takes lesser time as compared to other surgical treatments for vision correction. LASIK Surgery is usually done on an outpatient basis, allowing the patient to return home the same day of their surgery.
