LASIK – Advanced Vision Correction
Under the expert care of Dr. Anagha Deshpande, LASIK offers a safe, modern, and effective way to reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses and contact lenses. LASIK is a highly advanced refractive procedure that reshapes the cornea, the eye’s most powerful focusing surface, to correct refractive errors such as myopia (minus numbers), hyperopia (plus numbers), and astigmatism.
During the procedure, a thin corneal flap is gently lifted, and an excimer laser—a precise, cool beam of light—is applied to the underlying corneal tissue. This reshaping improves how light enters the eye, resulting in clearer, sharper vision. Once the laser correction is completed, the flap is repositioned, allowing for rapid recovery, minimal discomfort, and excellent visual outcomes.
Modern LASIK Options Available
With technological advancements, newer and safer versions of LASIK are available. Dr. Anagha Deshpande performs detailed pre-LASIK assessments to determine the most suitable procedure for each patient.
Surgical Steps (Simplified):
FEMTO LASIK (Bladeless LASIK)
In FEMTO LASIK, the corneal flap is created using a femtosecond laser instead of a blade.
Benefits include:
All-laser, bladeless flap creation
Higher precision and predictability
Faster healing and clearer recovery
Reduced chances of flap-related complications
This technique is widely referred to as Bladeless LASIK for its enhanced safety and accuracy.
SMILE LASIK (Flapless LASIK)
SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is the latest generation of laser vision correction performed without creating a corneal flap.
Advantages:
Minimally invasive with a tiny incision
No flap-related issues
Faster return to routine activities
Lower risk of dry eye
Greater corneal biomechanical stability
SMILE is also known as Flapless LASIK and is ideal for active individuals or those unsuitable for flap-based procedures.
Are You a Candidate for LASIK?
A LASIK suitability evaluation with Dr. Anagha Deshpande includes:
Corneal topography and thickness mapping
Refractive stability checks
Dry eye and tear film assessment
Screening for corneal diseases
Discussion of lifestyle and visual needs
Suitable candidates typically have a stable prescription, healthy corneas, and realistic expectations regarding results.
