Refractive Surgery

What is Refractive Surgery ?

Refractive surgery is the treatment procedure done for people suffering from refractive or focus-related visual issues such as near-sightedness or far-sightedness. Refractive surgery also helps you decrease your dependency on eyeglasses, helps you get rid of eye diseases, and corrects the refractive errors giving you crystal clear vision without aids. There are different types of refractive surgeries based on their term and procedure. The most common are LASIK and PRK. It is usually performed on patients with stable refractive power or the people who have a prescribed spectacle power. It is usually done after the age of 18-21.

  • Hemodialysis is a treatment to filter wastes and water from your blood, as your kidneys.
  • Did when they were healthy. Hemodialysis helps control blood pressure and balance.
  • Important minerals, such as potassium, sodium, and calcium, in your blood.
  • Hemodialysis can help you feel better and live longer, but it’s not a cure for kidney failure.
  • You may be able to do hemodialysis at home. Normally, hemodialysis begins well before your kidneys have shut down to the point of causing life-threatening complications.

How is it done?

In a critical care unit, health care providers use lots of different equipment, including:
  • Prior to the surgery, the doctors may ask you to stop wearing contact lenses for at least a week and wear only glasses. This is to prevent corneal irritation. You will be checked for any eye infection, inflammation, and such.
  • In LASIK, an incision or cut is made on the corner of your eye, and a flap is raised. Using high-end laser technology, the professionals will adjust the refractive power of your eye.
  • The refraction is adjusted by changing the shape of your cornea. In PRK, the flap elevation is not done; instead, the cornea is reshaped with a laser acting on its surface.
  • Following the procedure, you will have to keep your eyes closed for a said period of time and use eye drops regularly as prescribed.
