Refractive Surgery

Refractive surgery encompasses a range of surgical procedures aimed at correcting refractive errors in the eye, such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. These procedures aim to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses by reshaping the cornea or lens.

Our primary goal is to correct common vision problems, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses.

Here's an overview of what this service entails:

• Patient Evaluation & Consultation: Patients interested in refractive surgery undergo a comprehensive eye examination to assess their suitability for the procedure. This evaluation includes measuring visual acuity, determining the refractive error, evaluating corneal health and thickness, and assessing ocular health overall. We discuss the available surgical options, potential risks and benefits, and helps the patient make an informed decision based on their individual needs and expectations.
• Preoperative Assessment & Planning: Before surgery, patients undergo preoperative testing to ensure they are suitable candidates and to determine the most appropriate surgical technique. This may include corneal topography, wavefront analysis, and measurement of pupil size and thickness. We develop a customized treatment plan based on the patient's refractive error, corneal characteristics, and lifestyle factors.
• Postoperative Care & Follow-up: After surgery, patients receive postoperative care to monitor healing and ensure optimal visual outcomes. This includes prescribing postoperative medications (such as antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drops), scheduling follow-up appointments to assess visual acuity and corneal healing, and providing guidance on postoperative care and activity restrictions.
• Patient Education & Support: Patients are provided with detailed instructions on postoperative care, including the use of eye drops, avoiding activities that could compromise healing, and signs of potential complications. Ongoing communication and support are offered to address any concerns or questions the patient may have throughout the recovery process.
• Continued Monitoring & Maintenance: Long-term follow-up examinations are scheduled to monitor the stability of visual outcomes and assess for any signs of regression or complications. Additional interventions, such as enhancement procedures or adjustments to medications, may be necessary to optimize outcomes and ensure patient satisfaction.

By offering refractive surgery as a service, our aim is to provide patients with improved vision and enhanced quality of life, reducing their dependence on corrective lenses and allowing them to enjoy clear vision for years to come.
