Laser eye surgery at its best
The many advanced procedures we offer include laser eye treatment
to correct short-sightedness (myopia), astigmatism and long-sightedness
(hyperopia): L.A.S.I.K., P.R.K.and L.A.S.E.K.
- L.A.S.I.K. is the acronym for Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis
- P.R.K. stands for Photo-Refractive Keratectomy
- L.A.S.E.K. means Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis
Conditions that can be treated with laser eye surgery
Laser eye surgery can provide a solution in correcting the following
conditions:
Short-sightedness: If you require prescription lenses
(glasses, contact lenses) to see things a distance away, you suffer
from myopia or short-sightedness. Laser is used here to level the
cornea.
Long-sightedness: If you need prescription lenses
(glasses, contact lenses) to see and read things closely, you suffer
from hyperopia. This may also be the case with mature people aged
around 40 years and over. The laser makes the cornea steep by treating
its edge.
Astigmatism: This is a condition that can occur in
people who are long and short-sighted. An astigmatic eye is one where
the eye is differently shaped. It is shaped more like an egg or rugby
ball instead of being rounded. Light rays entering the eye become
distorted, blurring the received image. In this case the laser vaporises
microscopic parts of the cornea, shaping it to correct your vision.
Presbyopia: This is an age-related condition whereby
the lens (cornea) becomes stiffer and no longer has that youthful
flexibility. It means that the eye cannot flex enough to allow focusing
on objects close-up. This, in itself, leads to the necessary wearing
of reading glasses. Presbyopia tends to affect people from 40 years
of age upwards.
Monovision: To treat presbyopia with laser surgery
would entail treating one eye only. This is known as monovision. It
means that the laser would change the lens of one eye so that it has
a permanent ability to focus close-up. The other eye would be left
to fully develop into hyperopia (long-sightedness). Therefore, one
eye only can read close-up and the other eye is used for looking at
things a distance away.
