Types-of-Eye-ight-Problems - Myopia, hyperopia, Astigmatism

A normal person or an Emmetrope sees well because rays from the outside world fall exactly on the light sensitive retina allowing them to see sharp and clear images of the world. In people with refractive error (or poor vision, such as earsightedness or farsightedness), the light rays do not get focused on to the retina and blurred images are formed.

Myopia and its Treatment

Unclear vision on distant objects or the objects that are located at a quite long distance makes you have Myopia namely Short Sightedness. Myopia is due to the fall of light on different focuses on the eye, except the Retina. The starting stage of Myopia is generally observed in school going kids. Myopia is noted in Diopters and the rate of myopia infection is defined as Low (-5 Diopters), Medium (-5 to -10 Diopters) and High (more than -10 Diopters). Periodic retina checks up reduces the eye strain on focusing the distant objects.

Hyperopia and its Treatment

Cloudy and unclear vision of the close and nearby objects are the main symptoms of hyperopia or Long Sightedness. Your retina strains to view the close objects with clear light and visions. Proper medications help to limit the tiredness of the eye on long sightedness. It is a common vision problem and is identified at the age group between 14 to 20 years.

Astigmatism and its Treatment

Astigmatism is an optical defect, whereby vision is blurred due to the inability of the optics of the eye to focus a point object into a sharp focused image on the retina.The treatment options for all these refractive errors are

  • Optical Services / Spectacles: Spectacles are inexpensive and safe and offer clear vision and are low maintenance.A scientific optical dispensing unit with an entire array of the latest in lenses and frames laid out in a pleasant and attractive display is also available in-house.
  • Contact lenses: Ease your difficulties of eye sight wearables and increase your eye contact in a more presentable way. Make use of contact lenses for better eye vision and eliminate the use of wearing glass for the long time. Contact lenses are to be used as per the advisory of the doctors based on your optic health. Contact lenses limits the usage of spectacles which leads to the permanent black marks on your face. Usage of the contact lenses depends on the type and variant of the lens that are chosen by the patients. We have a different contact lens which suits the different needs of the patients. Irrespective of the lens type, lenses are advised to remove daily after its defined usage time. Contact lenses of Soft, Semi Soft. Toric, Cosmetic, Disposable and Customized lenses are made available to the patients.

What is EX500 or OPTILasik?

The question is, though, if your eyes are as unique as you are, why should they be treated with the exact same procedure everyone else gets? If you are thinking about an eye surgery or a laser vision correction, choose the procedure that was designed to work with your eyes unique attributes. You now have an option of the EX500 OptiLasik Wavelight EX-500 Laser system with many new functions for fast, safe and reliable refractive laser treatment for your eyes. Its design has been optimized to combine with a Femtosecond laser (Bladeless Lasik). The 500 Hz Wavelight EX-500 excimer laser is the world’s fastest excimer laser today. The speed ensures perfect centration and optimized results, as the key factor during lasik treatment is the patients attention and fixation. For Example, a patient with 10 diopters of error will need to fixate for a mere 14 seconds!! Besides, the speed prevents the corneal flap from getting dehydrated thus optimizing the results manifold. Increased efficiency through wavelight algorithm and the faster laser head results in less discomfort for the patient and optimized results.

Powers that could be Corrected :

With our OPTILasik machine we have the capability to correct –1.00 to –15.00 diopters, from +1.00 to +8.00 diopters and up to 8.00 diopters of astigmatism. This is the only system that is capable of correcting plus powers, cylindrical powers and high minus powers of your eyes. Though this is designed to correct all refractive errors accurately, in very high powers, there may be small residual powers after the treatment due to limits of corneal thickness and wound healing response of the eye.

Zyoptix

EPI LASIK or advanced surface ablation is a variant of LASIK eye surgery available at our center, wherein a thin epithelial flap of less than 60u is created with an epi keratome and treated with laser ablation. This maximizes corneal tissue conservation and expands the possibility to treat thinner corneas with optimal visual outcome. This eye laser treatment cost available at The Eye Foundation is affordable.

Cutting Edge Technology…but without the “Cut”!!!

Intralase

Eye surgeries for Myopia and Hyperopia is done by Lasik Laser Technology. In Lasik treatment, corneal flap is cutted manually by using the microkeratome, a hand held blade. The use of the blade in the eye surgery makes it more complication as there is a high chance of hurting the cornea at the operative time. Sometimes, at rare cases, patients may lose their eye sight due to Lasik eye surgery. After the introduction of FemtoSecond, an advanced technological eye surgical operative equipment, the rate of loss of vision post surgery has been drastically reduced. The EYE FOUNDATION implemented FemtoSecond Laser Surgery methods across all the branches of our medical institution. We are successful even in high complications of eye surgery without using the blade cut. We practise FemtoSecond Laser Technology to produce high precision results and to minimize the time taken for flap creation during the surgery is 15 to 20 Seconds. The Eye Foundation delivers the best results on helping the patients to get 20/20 vision with better overall vision quality at the affordable cost.

Alternatives to LASIK:

For patients in whom the corneal thickness is not sufficient or the refractive error is very high, LASIK is often not an option available to correct their refractive errors. Phakic Intraocular lenses that are fixed in front of the natural clear lens are a safe and effective option in these patients. This is an outpatient procedure that requires 15 to 30 minutes and gives good quality of vision without any significant side effects. We at The Eye Foundation offers you this option of refractive error correction with the use of ICL TM ( Implantable Contact Lens)In patients with Keratoconus and hence unsuited for LASIK eye surgery, We offer Corneal Collagen Crosslinking with Riboflavin (C3R) [More details under Cornea]1.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What Happens When I Come To The Hospital For A Checkup?

During your visit to our hospital, you will first be taken through a routine checkup of your refraction by a team of qualified optometrists. This will be followed by a corneal topography (Pentacam) and the dilatation of your pupils for a detailed retinal exam by a consultant. Detection of retinal degenerations or breaks may require immediate prophylactic treatment of these. If the retinal exam is normal or following the prophylactic laser treatment, you can discuss your treatment options with a consultant and decide on a surgery date convenient to you. Following dilatation, it may be difficult to read or drive for several hours after the visit. You may wish to bring sunglasses and/or a driver for your vehicle.

2. Is The Procedure Long And Painful?

The procedure is an outpatient one which requires you to come to the hospital only on the day of the surgery with a relative or a friend. The procedure is done under topical anesthesia (after the application of drops) and is not painful. You need to simply lie down on a couch and look up at the microscope. The whole procedure is usually over in 10-12 minutes for both the eyes.

3. What Do I Do After The Lasik Eye Surgery?

You can return home the same day. You may feel some discomfort in the initial few hours that is easily reduced by oral pain killers. You will have to come for a follow up visit the next day after Laser Eye surgery and thereafter as advised by your surgeon.

4. Are There Any Restrictions After The Laser Eye Surgery?

You are asked to refrain from splashing water in the eyes and avoid any kind of injury to them for a period of two weeks after the LASIK procedure. In all other respects, like reading, writing, watching television, working on a computer, traveling and doing household chores, you can return back to normalcy the very next day after the treatment.

5. Are There Any Dietary Restrictions?

You are asked to refrain from splashing water in the eyes and avoid any kind of injury to them for a period of two weeks after the LASIK procedure. In all other respects, like reading, writing, watching television, working on a computer, traveling and doing household chores, you can return back to normalcy the very next day after the treatment.

6. Can My Power Recur?
