How the LASIK functions

As we have said, the LASIK combines the techniques of surgical efficacy verified of corneal strip and correction with laser excímer, obtaining thus excellent results and a fast recovery of the view. The LASIK is efficient to correct most cases of nearby vision, to distance and astigmatism. All the patients of Nationwide Vision are submitted to meticulous eyes exams as well as to a consultation with the Dr. Kamal. During the patient consultation and surgeon they discuss which is the surgical procedure that more agrees the patient. The day of the operation we bring the patient to the laser surgery room where will go to bed in a comfortable reclining chair and drops of an eye drops they will apply him themselves to go to sleep the surface of the eye. The strip or laminilla LASIK is performed with an apparatus special call microqueratomo (see the photo to the left). The microqueratomo does a very thin cut, approximately the quarter or third splits of the thickness of the cornea. The surgeon raises this strip and he maintains the split (although firmly guaranteed). Subsequently he will apply the laser excímer to mold microscopic quantities of the corneal weaving and to obtain an exact correction of the error of refraction of the patient. When it finalizes the portion laser of the surgery (generally in less than one minute) the strip is carried to its original position where will be maintained sealed in appropriate position and will continue healing for the next weeks.
