Before LASIK surgery, the corneal surface is scanned by a computer and a map is created showing areas of the cornea that need repair. To make your eyes insensitive to pain anesthetic drops to numb the eye as they undergo the procedure.
During your LASIK procedure, a knife motor (a microkeratome) is used to make an incision and flap of tissue created from the thin outer layer of the cornea. In counting the hinged section of tissue from the cornea, the surgeon discovered the stroma ready for correction.
Only specific portions of the cornea and necessary, as determined by the stage of mapping the LASIK procedure, are removed to correct your vision. The excimer laser removes stroma and permanently alters and reshapes the cornea.
With correct refractive errors, the flap is folded back into its original position on the cornea. During the LASIK procedure a local anesthetic is applied to smooth eyes with eye drops; repositioned flap in the cornea heal without stitches in all.
Many people think that surgery is always a long period of convalescence and pain. This is where LASIK surgery is different. LASIK is a relatively painless procedure, performed in a few minutes and conducted an outpatient basis. After the intervention, not a bad idea to take a nap a few hours and allow your eyes to begin the recovery. Once the pain subsides, it is possible that your eyes are burning and itching. Before LASIK surgery light anesthesia is used as eye drops, there are two types of eye drops used after LASIK eye surgery: antibiotic and anti-inflammatory. It is important to know that if a candidate is deemed ineligible for LASIK, there are other options available to you.
One advantage shared by many patients is a burst of confidence. It's funny how a short outpatient procedure, these effects can be life changing. Imagine being able to go camping or beach, no longer need glasses or paraphernalia associated with contact lenses.
