What to Expect Before LASIK

 

What to expect before, during, and after Dubai LASIK eye surgery

Millions of people around the world depend on the use of contact lenses and eye glasses for improved or corrective vision. This is if you had 20/100 vision without glasses, wearing these devices will give you near perfect vision. But many individuals find that wearing these vision corrective devices, obstructs them from living completely normal lives and take part in sports and outdoor activities without the fear of your eye glasses breaking or contact lenses falling out.

If you have trouble seeing, and your vision was at an acuity level of 20/200 you wouldn’t be able to play a sport like tennis without contact lenses. And wearing them is sometimes considered dangerous, for reasons of accidental impact from the tennis ball or partner’s racket.

LASIK surgery gives individuals the ability to do things they love without the dependence on contact lenses. If you are considering LASIK surgery for improved vision, you will have to understand the risks involved, and also discuss your expectations with your eye surgeon.

The improvement in your visual acuity will only be known after the comprehensive eye exam is conducted. LASIK eye surgery Dubai can improve your vision to around 20/25 and obtaining a 20/20 visual acuity depends on your vision before surgery.

While at your pre-surgical eye exam, your eye specialist will get a detailed report on the health of your eyes. He will check for infection, tear production, dust, and anything out of the ordinary. The eye surgeon will also get a report on your health, and understand if you have any other impeding health risks that might alter the results of eye surgery. The most important test of all, is the complete mapping so to speak of your cornea. Precision mapping of the cornea lets your eye surgeon see any abnormalities in the shape of your cornea, which is what he will use to determine the level of improvement you can expect.

The cornea the top most layer of the eye, should be smooth and curved. An extreme peak or a flatter surface refracts light incorrectly to the back of the eye. LASIK surgery aims to smoothen out the cornea or create a peak if it is flat.

To obtain a perfect picture of the cornea, eye specialists use wavefront-guided technology. Before surgery, your doctor will discuss the risks and benefits of LASIK surgery with you in-depth. Your eye doctor and you should come to an understanding, ensuring your expectations are in line with predicted results.

LASIK Surgery has been instrumental in help millions of patients who were near to blind vision see relatively as normal. Although if you’re considered legally, blind at a level of 20/200, you may not have your vision improved to 20/20, but you will obtain a result of 20/40 or less.
