Best LASIK Eye Surgery In Bangalore - To Treat Blurred Vision

Your ophthalmologist will assess your eye and check the vision clarity. Your doctor might ask you to go through an eye chart test to check your vision from a distance. The doctor might also check your eye pressure. This is known as the tonometry test.

To check your pupils, the doctor might put drops in your eyes which will make the pupils bigger. This is done to check the optic nerve and to confirm if there is any damage to the retina of the eye.

The ophthalmologist might ask you to do a few more tests to check your eye's sensitivity to glare and perception of colors.

First, the eye is sedated with anesthetic eye drops. Once the anesthesia takes its effect, the doctor uses an instrument, lid speculum, that keeps the eye open to position it under the laser beam. With the help of a suction ring and an ink marker, any kind of eye or cornea movement is restricted. Followed by this, the surgeon passes the laser beam through the eye that reshapes the cornea. Meanwhile, he/she checks the progress through a microscope. In order to rectify myopia, the cornea is flattened and to correct hypermetropia, the cornea is made steep. Once the reshaping is complete, the cornea is placed back.

The whole procedure takes 10-20 minutes to complete and is performed on an outpatient basis. After a quick follow-up by the doctor, the patient can go home on the same day.
