Freedom From Glasses & Contact Lens Clinic
Freedom From Glasses
LASIK
It is the most recent advance in the field of refractive surgery. LASIK is used to reshape the cornea, which is the most powerful lens in the eye. It uses an excimer laser (a cool beam of light) to reshape the cornea and improve vision. The superficial layer of the cornea is raised as a flap and laser is applied to the underlying bed (hence also called as flap and zap). The flap is then replaced.
With the evolution of LASIK now safer procedures are available: FEMTOLASIK and SMILE LASIK. In FEMTO LASIK event the flap is created using a laser and hence there is more predictability and faster healing and less chances of flap displacement. It is also called as bladeless LASIK. SMILE LASIK is also called as Flapless LASIK.
Contact Lens Clinic
A contact lens is a thin lens placed directly on the surface of the eye. Advancements in contact lens technology offer the potential for successful contact lens wear to most of our patients. Contact lenses not only enhance visual acuity and appearance, but also improve performance in different visual tasks; helps avoid fogging of glasses in different environments, and also improve performance of other fast activities like sports.
Because contact lenses are medical devices placed on the eyes, they require expert fitting and careful instruction, as well as conscientious care and compliance with recommended follow-up examinations to maintain the healthy functioning of your eyes.
