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.
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.

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 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
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis) is a very simple procedure of correcting refractive errors by reshaping the cornea with the help of a cold (Excimer) laser, with submicron accuracy. The safety and accuracy of the LASIK surgery or treatment depends largely on the machine used. We at The Eye Foundation assure that our LASIK eye surgery provides a path to clear vision at any age. You can opt for Lasik and get rid of glasses, contact lenses and endless prescriptions as It helps you to permanently improve your vision through laser treatment for eyes.

Though there are various machines available for Lasik, EX500 is the fastest workstation trusted and reliably accepted worldwide and the Lasik eye surgery cost is economical. Our intent is to provide our patients with the best-in-class treatment for their eyes at a reasonable Lasik smile surgery cost.
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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

It is extremely unlikely. When patients are treated for very high powers there could be a residual power which can be assessed and will be informed to the patient even before the procedure
The Eye Foundation is living up to its mission in giving freedom from glasses to people. I feel happy to share my experience with the hospital. Back in 2013, I consulted Dr.Chitra Ramamurthy for bladeless LASIK surgery. She was very kindly and explained me about the different types of LASIK and the one that suits me better. I took all the necessary tests and underwent the surgery. I experienced discomfort for a day and after that things became normal and I finally obtained freedom from glasses. You may not understand this feeling unless you suffered from wearing glasses for years. Yet another story: I thought of giving this freedom to my wife as well and the first person that came to my mind is Chitra Ramamurthy. So, I am visiting the hospital after eight years and there seems to be advanced technologies available for LASIK. My wife underwent the surgery that suits her eyes and she's now much happier than ever. I also underwent some lab tests to check if my eyes are in good shape. Guess what, my eyes are in very good shape and I don't have the fear of losing my vision. The Eye Foundation is still the best choice for any Eye surgery and you can bet on Dr.Chitra Ramamurthy for many more years to come.
Dr.Shreyas Had a great experience on Femto Lasik surgery and the way he explains the procedure while doing surgery really nice. Surgery was painless and My vision was clear and more comfortable. Special thanks to staff Aravind who helped us on all ways.
I had my Opti lasik surgery and my dad had his Cataract surgery done for both eyes. Both of our surgery was performed by Dr.Shreyas Ramamurthy. Such a humble doctor..!!! He explained everything in detail and gave us the confidence as well !! Now both of us recovered successfully. We are thankful to him..!!
I've been visiting this hospital from when i was a kid. Finally stepped up to undergo lasik. After consultation, I decided to go for Smile procedure. Had wonderful experience. Dr.Shreyas was extremely courteous and had done excellent surgery. Besides, all staff are also very supportive. Would surely recommend to friends and family.
I underwent Lasik SMILE treatment here at EYE Foundation a month back. Firstly, the hospitality was very good. I was explained about various treatments available and its pros and cons. Then the procedure was very precise and comfortable. I got a clear vision from the second day of the treatment itself. I'm really happy about the treatment and I do not have any complaints till date. And then, the procedure was done by Dr. Chitra Ramamurthy Mam. I should definitely mention, she is one of the sweetest. She made me so comfortable before the procedure as I was very much tensed. She kept speaking to me positively during the procedure and also after the treatment. I really thank her from the bottom of my heart. Very much satisfied. And I highly recommend EYE Foundation if you are thinking of doing LASIK
