FAQ about Laser Eye Surgery


 
Health
Many individuals are curious about laser eye surgery. The most popular type is called LASIK, a procedure utilizing lasers to correct vision and reduce the need for corrective optical devices. Corrective optical devices are available in the form of eyeglasses as well as contact lenses. The word laser is actually an acronym of the words Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. These have become wonder tools which are used in a wide variety of applications. If an individual was interested in correcting their vision through surgery, they should ask lots of questions in order to decide if this is wise choice for them. Here are some frequently asked questions about this procedure:

- What does LASIK stand for? This word is an acronym for “Laser-assisted In Situ Keratomileuses.”

- What does this laser do to the eye? The cornea is cut with an excimer tool into a flap. The flap is folded until the stroma is exposed and partially removed. The flap is then replaced and the result heals into a different formation, which in turn alters the vision of that eye.

- What is a cornea? The cornea is located in the front of the eyeball and is a clear covering.

- Is this process approved by the FDA? The FDA, which stands for the Food and Drug Administration, is a governmental watchdog agency which oversees medical devices, prescription drugs, foods and various procedures. This agency’s job is to protect consumers from unsafe products and operations. The lasers which are used are approved, as is this type of operation. It is still up to the consumer to be well informed about the risks and possible outcomes.

- What are pre-op steps to take? A patient will need to be screened ahead of time. If he or she is a hard contact lens wearer, this must be discontinued for a month prior to the surgery. Contacts hold the cornea into an unnatural positioning which can adversely affect the results of the initial examination. The patient also needs to inform the doctor about all medications that are being taken. Arranging for transportation to and from the doctor’s office on the day of surgery is a must, as well.

- How long does LASIK take to perform? It only takes half an hour to complete this process.

- Is anesthesia used? Yes, a topical anesthesia is applied in order to numb the surface and keep the person painfree.

- What will the eye feel like post-op? Initially, it may feel like something’s stuck in there, such a hair or grain of sand. This is perfectly normal and will subside over time. It’s important not to rub the area, wear makeup or lotion for several weeks.

- Is the vision stable and perfect right away? No, it often takes a few months for the region to heal and stabilize completely. When it does, however, it is permanent. Individuals who are interested in having laser eye surgery performed should make an appointment for a consultation. The doctor will be able to assess whether or not the individual is a good candidate for the procedure.
