Laser Eye Surgery


Many people who have eye damage always seek what the best cure system. The result of many cure model still don’t make satisfactory yet. If you're looking for an alternative option to glasses or contact lenses, laser eye surgery could be the ideal solution. Laser eye surgery is an eye treatment that has given millions of people freedom from the need to wear glasses and contact lenses.

LASIK or Lasik is a type of refractive surgery for correcting myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. LASIK is performed by ophthalmologists using a laser The procedure is generally preferred to photorefractive keratectomy, PRK, (also called ASA, Advanced Surface Ablation) because it requires less time for the patient's recovery, and the patient feels less pain overall. However, there are instances where a PRK/ASA procedure is medically justified as being a better alternative to LASIK

Many patients choose LASIK as an alternative to wearing corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses. This technology have been apply by the Colombia-based Spanish ophthalmologist Jose Barraquer, who, around 1950 in his clinic in Bogotá, Colombia, developed the first microkeratome, and developed the technique used to cut thin flaps in the cornea and alter its shape, in a procedure he called keratomileusis. Stephan Schaller assisted in this landmark procedure. Barraquer also researched the question of how much of the cornea had to be left unaltered to provide stable long-term results.

This technology then improve and other country also interest to this technology. Russia in the 1970s by Svyatoslav Fyodorov, and PRK (photorefractive keratectomy), developed in 1983 at Columbia University by Dr. Steven Trokel, who in addition published an article in the American Journal of Ophthalmology in 1983 outlining the potential benefits of using the Excimer laser in refractive surgeries. (RK is a procedure in which radial corneal cuts are made, typically using a micrometer diamond knife, and is completely different from LASIK).

In the United Stated this technique use on June 20, 1989. "Method for modifying corneal curvature," encompassing the surgical procedure in which a flap is cut in the cornea and pulled back to expose the corneal bed. The exposed surface is then ablated to the desired shape with an Excimer laser, after which the flap is replaced.

LASIK surgery may need of one day be replaced by intrastromal ablation via all-femtosecond correction (like Femtosecond Lenticule Extraction, FLIVC, or IntraCOR), or other techniques that avoid weakening the cornea with large incisions and deliver less energy to surrounding tissues. The 20/10 FEMTEC laser has recently been used for incision-less ablation on several hundred human eyes and achieved very successful results for presbyopia, with trials ongoing for myopia and other disorders.
