LASER VISION CORRECTION AND REFRACTIVE SURGERY CLINIC
DEFECTS THAT CAN BE CORRECTED WITH REFRACTIVE SURGERY
- MYOPIA: Myopia or short sightedness occurs when light rays entering the eye are focused in front of the retina causing blurred vision, when viewing distant objects.
- HYPEROPIA: Hyperopia or far sightedness occurs when the light rays converge at a point beyond the retina causing blurred vision for near and eventually for all distances.
- ASTIGMATISM: Astigmatism is an irregularity in the shape of the normally spherical cornea causing distortion of both distant and near vision.
TYPES OF REFRACTIVE AND LASER SURGERY SOLUTIONS
LASER ASSISTED INSITU Keratomileusis is one of the most common surgery performed world wide.
It Can Correct:
- Myopia (Near sightedness)
- Hypermetropia (Farsightedness)
- Astigmatism
This reduces the dependency on glasses or contact lenses.
It uses cool light- Excimer to reshape the cornea, changing its focusing power and eliminating the refractive error.
AT ICARE: Providing this service since last 15 years and is equipped with the latest and most advanced technology.
PREOPERATIVE EXAMINATION
Team of dedicated and trained doctors, optometrists and technicians that perform these tests.
- At ICARE, state of the art and latest diagnostic facilities are available at our “LASIK SUITE”
- Each patient goes through a comprehensive series of eyes tests. We have a team of dedicated and trained optometrists and technicians that perform the investigations .
- The diagnostic facilities available are:
- PENTACAM
- ORBSCAN
- WAVEFRONT ABERROMETRY
- PACHYMETRY
- Advanced CustomVueTM Individualized Vision Correction (C-lasik)
- The advanced Customvue laser vision correction procedure available at ICARE is equipped with VISX CustomVue with Wave Scan technology which can measure and correct the unique imperfections of each individual’s vision.
- It uses Variable spot scanning(VSS) technology which improves the quality of night vision and corrects glare and haloes.
- Its unique Active Trak 3-D eye tracker ensures accurate laser delivery compensating for the tiniest if the eye movements.
iLASIK(Bladeless Laser surgery)
- The iLASIK procedure available at ICARE is a completely integrated and personalized procedure based on advanced vision correction technology at each step.
- In this technique specialized laser called femto laser is used for creating the corneal flap. Thus it allows thinner and more accurate flaps. Thus patients with thinner corneal can also avail the benefits of Lasik.
- COMBINING THE INTRALASE METHOD FOR FLAP CREATION WITH ADVANCE EXCIMER LASER VISION TREATMENT RESULTS IN MORE PRECISE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE METHOD OF REFRACTIVE ERROR CORRECTION.

OTHER REFRACTIVE SOLUTIONS
- For patients who are deemed unfit for laser corneal surgery(C lasik and bladeless lasik) after preliminary tests, alternative refractive options are available at ICARE eye hospital.
- Surface ablation: Preferred in cases with borderline corneal thickness where LASIK might be risky.
- Phakic Intraocular lenses(ICL and others): Recommended for patients with high refractive errors unfit for LASIK. The procedure gives the eye another focusing lens that provides high quality, high-definition vision like a normal eye.
- Astigmatic cataract surgery and multifocal lenses
