Eye Care-Lasik Surgery

Lasik is a type of eye surgery that is performed to correct refractive errors in people with nearsightedness, Farsightedness, and astigmatism. In this procedure, the ophthalmologist uses an excimer laser to correct the cornea, and finally, in most cases, the person is cured and no longer needs to use glasses or contact lenses. In most cases, Lasik surgery is painless and anesthesia is performed within 15 minutes for both eyes.
If you are not eligible for this operation due to the thinness of the cornea, there are other types of vision correction surgery such as "PRK operation", "Lasik operation" and IOL surgery. The doctor will determine which of these methods is more suitable for your condition. If you cannot use laser procedures due to keratoconus, you can use different modern methods such as scleral lenses to treat your keratoconus
