LASIK stands for LASER IN-SITU KERATOMILEUSIS. It is a form of laser surgery that is capable of correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The procedure uses a computer controlled excimer laser to reshape the cornea to correct your vision. The laser reshaping is done under a protective flap of tissue to promote a very rapid recovery of vision and minimize discomfort. There are currently 2 methods of doing LASIK : The Traditional LASIK using a Microkeratome with blade and the All Laser- LASIK ( No blade LASIK). LARRAZABAL EYE GROUP is the FIRST and ONLY eye facility in Cebu and the rest of the Visayas and Mindanao to offer No Blade All Laser LASIK. Scroll below for more details.
WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF LASIK?
There are currently 2 types of LASIK. The Traditional LASIK involves creating a Corneal Flap by use of a Microkeratome with Blade. The All-Laser LASIK uses a Femtosecond Laser to create a Corneal Flap. The same Excimer Laser machine is then used for treatment.
HOW DO I KNOW IF I AM A CANDIDATE?
The treatment is for patients 18 years or older who have myopia (nearsightedness) with or without astigmatism, or hyperopia and meet certain visual and medical criteria. In addition to the visual and medical requirements, the best candidates tend to be people who are dissatisfied with their contact lenses or glasses and are motivated to make a change, whether it's due to occupational or lifestyle reasons.
A thorough eye examination is performed to assess the health of the eye. The corneal contour and thickness are precisely measured in order to rule out any unseen abnormalities. Centre for Sight LASIK Surgeon Dr. Yong Larrazabal personally answers all of your questions and reviews all of your options. The results of this evaluation will help Dr. Larrazabal customize the treatment for your specific procedure.
