Types of laser visual correction operations

vision restoration operation

Today, a huge number of people's vision problems. Previously, the only solution was wearing glasses or lenses, but now everything has changed. The appearance of laser vision correction allows you to forever get rid of the problem of poor vision. Today it is the most effective and safe correction method that is popular all over the world.

Advantages of laser vision correction

In world medical practice, a huge number of operations are performed annually. The effectiveness of laser correction and its safety has been proven by long -term observations of patients. Among the main advantages of the laser technique, the following can be distinguished:

  • The laser technique can be used for any type of refraction violation, if there are no contraindications;
  • high speed of surgery;
  • Laser correction does not cause pain to the patient;
  • The patient does not need to go to the hospital, the whole procedure takes a minimum amount of time;
  • The rapid restoration of visual function allows you to feel improving vision after the procedure after the procedure;
  • The predictability of the results is ensured by accurate computer data processing;
  • Correction results are stable.

The speed of restoration of visual functions, calm tolerance of the patient’s effects and the resistance of the result are the main indicators that determine the popularity of laser vision correction today.

Types of laser visual correction techniques

Laser visitor correction methods are modernized. Their new species allow you to cure many patients who, a few years ago, laser correction was contraindicated.

The basis of all methods is one principle: the laser evaporates part of the cornea and changes its shape so that the rays of light are optimally focused on the retina. The difference between types of correction lies in a different technological approach.

In ophthalmological practice, several methods of operational correction of refraction disorders using a laser are used.

These include:

  • Laser in situ keratomilesis - Lasik;
  • Transepithelial photoreptional keratectomy - Trans FRK;
  • Femtosecond laser vision correction - Relex smile.

Let us consider in more detail each species and their subspecies:

  • Lasik - The basic technique that was used in the early stages of laser treatment of organs of vision. The technique does not take into account the individual characteristics of the refractiveness of the optical system of the patient's eye. In modern centers of laser vision correction, where there is special equipment, the Super Lasik operation completely replaced this technique.
  • Super Lasik - The procedure is carried out taking into account the individual characteristics of the eye of each patient with the correction of not only abnormalities of refraction, but also all small unevenness of the cornea.       In this connection, high operations of the operation are obtained.
  • Femto Lasik - The main difference from Lasik is that the cut of the cornea is not carried out by a microcarat, but by a femtosecond laser.
  • Pressby Lasik - The technique consists in conducting operations taking into account the characteristics of patients of a mature age category - over 40 years old. Doctors through correction restore good vision at any distance - both near and into the distance.
  • Super Femto Lasik - This is a combination of a super lasik with the formation of a valve using a femtosecond laser. This type of lasica is the most accurate and safe for the patient
  • FRK - A method that consists in grinding the upper layers of the cornea, with preliminary mechanical removal of the upper layer. After the operation, the patient experiences discomfort in the first three days after the procedure, while the cornea epithelium is restored.
  • Trans FRK - The improved technology of the classic German, with a simultaneous laser removal of the surface layer of the cornea, followed by the pond of its shape.
  • Relex smile - Fully feminosecond technology, consists in the formation of lenticulas in the inner layers of the cornea, with its subsequent removal through micronaddress. This is an innovative technology.

Based on the patient’s own wishes, it is impossible to choose which type of laser vision correction is suitable. We need a consultation of a specialist and a detailed examination of the organs of vision.

Our doctors work on all modern methods using the best equipment. The procedure for restoring visor vision has become even safer and more effective over the years.

Equipment

The ophthalmological clinic uses modern equipment. New developments help our doctors give new perfect vision to our patients. Depending on the methodology, the vision correction operation is carried out using such equipment:

  • femo -sedenx laser, which is used to correction according to the Relexsmile and Femo Super Lasik method;
  • An excessive laser that is used to correct vision according to the methods of the French, Femto Lasik, Super Lasik, Presby Lasik, Presby Femto Lasik.

Specialists conduct diagnostics, thanks to which they determine with accuracy which method of treatment and equipment should be used to obtain the perfect result.

Stages of correction

Laser vision correction consists of several stages:

  • Preparatory stage - diagnostics of the organs of vision are carried out, a decision is made on the possibility of an operation;
  • Preparation on the day of the operation - You can not use cosmetics and perfumes, you must have dark glasses with you;
  • local anesthesia - painkillers are buried in the eyes;
  • operation - the procedure to create a new cornea of the cornea takes only a few minutes;
  • postoperative time - Rest with eyes closed for about half an hour, after that a doctor is examined, instructing and certificates of care for the eyes.

The patient spends a minimum amount of time in the clinic. In just a couple of hours, a person will be able to look at the world in a new way.

Restrictions after surgery

After the laser correction, the patient receives some recommendations from the doctor. After the operation you can’t:

  • rub your eyes, touch them with your hands;
  • Read during the day;
  • drive a car;
  • do eye makeup for about two weeks;
  • play sports during the week;
  • Swim in the pool for two weeks, in any reservoirs - within a month.

These are the main tips that positively affect the eyes. The attending physician tells more about these rules. It is important to follow the recommendations in order to consolidate success after the operation, and the patient will be able to enjoy excellent vision for many years.

Laser vision correction is the long -awaited help of those who want to quickly and effectively get rid of the problem of bad vision. This is an opportunity to forever see the world with different eyes. The main thing is to choose the right clinic, an experienced doctor, to collect reviews and clearly follow all the recommendations of specialists.
