Customized LASIK Procedure to Correct Blurring of Vision

The LASIK procedure has significantly enhanced vision for millions worldwide by correcting common refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

What is Custom LASIK?

Custom LASIK uses advanced wavefront technology to map individual corneal irregularities, ensuring a more precise correction than traditional LASIK. Unlike conventional methods that rely on standard prescriptions, custom LASIK tailors treatment to each patient's unique corneal characteristics.

Advantages of Custom LASIK

• Enhanced precision in vision correction by addressing corneal aberrations.
• Improved contrast sensitivity and night vision.
• Reduced risk of visual distortions such as halos and glare.

Potential Side Effects

Like any medical procedure, LASIK may have side effects, including:

• Dry eyes
• Glare, halos, or starbursts around lights
• Blurred or hazy vision
• Light sensitivity
• Overcorrection or under-correction

These effects typically subside over time, though in rare cases, they may persist.

Disadvantages of Custom LASIK

• Higher cost compared to traditional LASIK
• Not usually covered by insurance
• Limited additional benefits for certain patients

Correcting Refractive Errors

Both traditional and custom LASIK procedures typically allow patients to resume normal activities within 24 hours, with full visual improvements occurring over a few weeks.

Cataract Surgery – Restoring Clarity to Your Vision

A cataract occurs when the eye's natural lens becomes cloudy, leading to vision impairment. Though most common in aging individuals, cataracts can also affect younger people, including infants.

Understanding Cataracts

Cataracts cause blurred vision, increased sensitivity to glare, and difficulty with daily activities like reading and driving. While mild cases may be managed with corrective lenses, surgery is the only definitive treatment when vision impairment progresses.

Advanced Cataract Surgery

At Lasik Corner, we use state-of-the-art Alcon Centurion Gold Phaco Technology for cataract surgery. This advanced system ensures a seamless, efficient procedure with several benefits:

• No anesthesia, injections, or stitches required
• Minimally invasive, pain-free surgery
• Reduced risk of inflammation or structural damage
• Quick recovery with restored clear vision

Who is at Risk for Cataracts?

• Individuals over 60 years old
• People with diabetes
• Long-term steroid users
• Those with prolonged UV exposure
• Individuals with a history of eye injuries

Determining the Need for Surgery

Our expert cataract surgeons conduct comprehensive eye evaluations to determine if surgery is necessary. If vision is significantly affected, we guide patients through the best treatment options.

Retina Disorders and Treatment

The retina is a crucial part of the eye responsible for transmitting visual signals to the brain. Damage to the retina can cause severe vision impairment, and if untreated, may lead to permanent blindness.

Common Retinal Disorders

• Diabetic Retinopathy: A complication of diabetes that causes damage to retinal blood vessels, potentially leading to vision loss.
• Retinopathy of Prematurity (RoP): A condition affecting premature infants due to abnormal retinal blood vessel development.
• Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD): Damage to the macula causing gradual vision loss, commonly seen in older adults.
• Retinal Detachment: A severe condition where the retina separates from the underlying tissue, requiring immediate medical intervention.

Diagnostic and Treatment Options

Retinal conditions often develop gradually, showing symptoms like blurring, floaters, or vision distortion. Early diagnosis is crucial to prevent severe damage. Common diagnostic techniques include:

• Fluorescein Angiography: A test to assess retinal blood flow and identify potential blockages.
• Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): A high-resolution imaging technique used to analyze the retina's layers.

Treatment varies based on the condition's severity. In early stages, medications and lifestyle adjustments may help manage symptoms. In advanced cases, surgical intervention such as laser treatment or vitrectomy may be necessary.
