What is Refractive Surgery

Refractive Surgery is a type of eye surgery that is used to correct vision problems caused by an irregularly shaped cornea or lens.It is a way to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses.

The most common types of Refractive Surgery are LASIK, PRK, and SMILE.LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis and is a procedure that uses a laser to reshape the cornea and improve vision.

PRK stands for Photorefractive Keratectomy and is a procedure that removes a thin layer of the cornea to reshape it.SMILE stands for Small Incision Lenticule Extraction and is a newer procedure that uses a laser to create a small, thin lens inside the eye.

Refractive Surgery is considered safe and effective and has a high success rate.Patients may experience temporary side effects such as dry eyes, halos, or glare, but these should improve with time.

It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of Refractive Surgery with your eye doctor and to ask any questions you may have.

Causes of Refractive Surgery

Nearsightedness (Myopia): when the eye is too long, or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina and creating a blurred vision.
Farsightedness (Hyperopia): when the eye is too short, or the cornea is too flat, causing light to focus behind the retina and creating a blurred vision.
Astigmatism: when the front surface of the eye (cornea) has an irregular curvature, causing light to focus on multiple points in the back of the eye, creating a distorted and blurred vision.
Presbyopia: when the eye loses its ability to focus up close, causing blurred vision at near distances.
Cataracts: when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, causing vision to become blurry and distorted.

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K): A non-surgical, reversible procedure that uses special lenses worn at night to reshape the cornea.
Laser Assisted In-situ Keratomileusis (LASIK): A laser procedure that reshapes the cornea to reduce refractive errors.
Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK): A laser procedure that reshapes the cornea to reduce refractive errors.
Phakic Intraocular Lenses (IOLs): An implantable lens that can reduce refractive errors.
Contact Lenses: Contact lenses can improve vision by changing the shape of the eye's surface, allowing light to be focused in the right area.

Absolutely love how understanding Dr. Kumud Raut is. The only place where I have not been told about only the process of getting a surgery, but rather they insist on educating about how the eye functions and the importance of having a healthy eye before any surgery.
