With his expertise as a Senior Eye Surgeon, Senior Refractive Surgeon, and Retina Specialist, Dr. Kazi provides personalized and precise treatments to correct a variety of vision problems such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism.
Here’s an overview of the advanced vision correction treatments offered at Ashu Laser Vision under Dr. Shahnawaz Kazi’s expertise:
LASIK is the most commonly performed laser vision correction surgery worldwide. It involves creating a thin corneal flap and reshaping the underlying corneal tissue using an excimer laser to correct refractive errors.
- Ideal for: Myopia, Hyperopia, Astigmatism.
- Benefits: Quick recovery, minimal discomfort, and excellent results (many patients achieve 20/20 vision or better).
Femto LASIK is an advanced version of the standard LASIK procedure, where the corneal flap is created using a femtosecond laser instead of a mechanical blade. This approach ensures greater precision, reduced risk, and a faster recovery.
- Ideal for: Patients looking for safer, bladeless LASIK procedures.
- Benefits: No blade used, higher precision, and faster healing compared to traditional LASIK.
ASA (also known as PRK, or Photorefractive Keratectomy) is an ideal solution for patients with thinner corneas who may not be candidates for LASIK. In ASA, the outer layer of the cornea is gently removed, and the corneal tissue is reshaped using a laser to correct refractive errors.
- Ideal for: Patients with thinner corneas, or those who are not suitable candidates for LASIK.
- Benefits: Less risk of corneal complications, good for those with high refractive errors or irregular corneas.
Epi-LASIK is a flapless procedure similar to PRK and is often recommended for patients with thinner corneas or dry eyes. This technique involves the use of an epithelial separator to remove the corneal epithelium (the outermost layer), followed by laser ablation to reshape the cornea.
- Ideal for: People with thin corneas, dry eyes, or those who want a safer alternative to traditional LASIK.
- Benefits: Minimizes the risk of complications like corneal flap issues and offers faster recovery than traditional PRK.
Contoura LASIK is a topography-guided LASIK procedure that uses advanced corneal mapping to create a customized treatment plan for each eye. It uses a high-definition scanner to map the unique irregularities in your cornea, allowing for personalized, more accurate treatment.
- Ideal for: People with irregular corneas or astigmatism, or those who are looking for better visual outcomes than standard LASIK.
- Benefits: Customized for your eye’s unique shape, enhances visual quality (especially for night vision), and reduces glare and halos.
Trans PRK is an advanced variation of PRK that involves removal of the corneal epithelium using an excimer laser instead of a mechanical instrument. This flapless approach eliminates the need for any physical tools to remove the epithelial layer, offering a gentler and more accurate method.
- Ideal for: Patients who want a flapless procedure or have dry eyes and thin corneas.
- Benefits: Less pain, faster recovery, and no risk of flap-related complications.
Silk LASIK combines the benefits of Femto-LASIK and Contoura LASIK, providing an incredibly smooth and precise procedure. The use of femtosecond lasers to create the flap and topography-guided lasers for customized treatment provides the patient with the best possible visual results.
- Ideal for: Patients who desire high precision and minimal discomfort.
- Benefits: Enhanced accuracy, higher precision, and a faster recovery time with excellent visual outcomes.
ReLEx SMILE LASIK (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction)
- Pre-Surgery Consultation: The process begins with a detailed eye exam to assess your eye health and determine whether LASIK is right for you.
- The LASIK Surgery: The LASIK procedure itself typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes per eye. Dr. Kazi will use advanced femtosecond lasers to create a precise corneal flap (if using Femto-LASIK) or reshape the cornea directly (in SMILE or ASA procedures).
- Post-Operative Recovery: Most LASIK patients experience immediate improvements in vision, with minimal discomfort. The recovery time is generally fast, and you can resume most activities within a day or two.
- Final Results: Full visual stabilization can take 3 to 6 months, but most patients experience improved vision almost immediately after the procedure.
Ideal LASIK Candidates
ReLEx SMILE is one of the latest innovations in refractive surgery, and Dr. Kazi is highly skilled in performing this procedure. SMILE involves a small incision (about 2-4 mm) to remove a small piece of tissue (lenticule) from the cornea to reshape it. Unlike traditional LASIK, it doesn’t require a large flap.
- Ideal for: Patients with dry eyes or higher prescriptions who want a minimally invasive procedure with no corneal flap.
