LASIK
Best Advanced Treatment for LASIK in Andheri Mumbai
Laser vision correction has revolutionized the way we manage vision problems, offering a potential alternative to glasses and contact lenses. In today’s digital age, where extensive screen use has increased the prevalence of myopia (nearsightedness), laser treatments can address vision issues effectively. As Ashu Laser Vision and Ashu Eye Hospital treats the best advanced specialist treatment for LASIK eye clinic and hospital in Andheri Mumbai.
LASIK is one of the most well-known laser vision correction techniques. It involves creating a flap in the cornea with a blade, lifting it, and then using a laser to reshape the underlying corneal tissue to correct vision. However, traditional LASIK may not be suitable for individuals with very thin corneas, as the blade can further thin the cornea. We doo the best advanced lasik surgery in Andheri Mumbai.
Advanced Surface Ablation (ASA) An alternative to traditional LASIK is Advanced Surface Ablation, also known as Transepithelial PRK (transPRK). This technique does not involve creating a corneal flap. Instead, the laser treats the surface of the cornea directly. It is often referred to as the “touchless” technique because it avoids the use of a blade or other instruments on the cornea. As Ashu Laser Vision and Ashu Eye Hospital treats the best advanced specialist treatment for ASA and PRK eye clinic and hospital in Andheri Mumbai.
Benefits of ASA/Transepithelial PRK:
⦁ Suitable for Thin Corneas: ASA is a viable option for patients with thinner corneas who might not be candidates for traditional LASIK.
⦁ No Flap-Related Complications: Because no flap is created, there is no risk of flap-related complications, making it safer for individuals with certain corneal conditions.
⦁ Ideal for Specific Conditions: Patients with keratoconus, high intraocular pressure (glaucoma), or retinal issues like lattice degeneration can benefit from this technique, as it involves no manipulation of the corneal structure or increase in eye pressure.
Other Laser Procedures:
⦁ Femto LASIK: Uses a femtosecond laser to create the corneal flap, eliminating the need for a blade. As Ashu Laser Vision and Ashu Eye Hospital treats the best advanced specialist treatment for Femtolasik eye clinic and hospital in Andheri Mumbai.
⦁ SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction): Involves creating a flap with a laser and removing a small lenticule of corneal tissue through a tiny incision. While this method avoids some complications associated with flap creation, it still involves an incision.

⦁ CONTOURA VISION LASIK: Contoura Vision LASIK is a highly advanced, personalized form of LASIK eye surgery designed to reshape the cornea and improve vision with precision.
Eye Exam: Prior to the procedure, a comprehensive eye examination is conducted to evaluate your eye health and determine if Contoura Vision is the right option for you.
Corneal Mapping: A detailed 3D map of your cornea is generated using state-of-the-art imaging technology, providing precise data needed for the customization of your treatment.
Laser Treatment: The procedure begins with the application of anesthetic drops to numb your eyes. A femtosecond laser creates a thin flap in your cornea, after which an excimer laser reshapes the cornea based on the detailed map. The laser precisely removes small amounts of corneal tissue to correct your vision.
Post-Operative Care: Following the surgery, you will receive protective eye shields and be prescribed anti-inflammatory and antibiotic eye drops to help prevent infection and reduce inflammation. Detailed aftercare instructions will also be provided to ensure proper healing.
Follow-Up Visits: Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor your recovery progress and confirm the best possible visual outcomes.
⦁ SILK LASIK: The SILK (Smooth Incision Lenticule Keratomileusis) procedure is an advanced laser vision correction technique that utilizes a femtosecond laser to reshape the cornea and improve visual acuity. Renowned for its safety, minimal risk, and efficiency, SILK is a popular choice for correcting vision problems such as near-sightedness (myopia) and astigmatism.
Here’s how the procedure works:
Numbing: The eye is numbed with anesthetic eye drops to ensure a painless experience.
Creating a Lenticule: The femtosecond laser creates a thin, disc-shaped piece of tissue known as a lenticule beneath the surface of the cornea.
Removing the Lenticule: A small incision is made in the cornea to extract the lenticule.
Reshaping the Cornea: With the lenticule removed, the cornea is reshaped to correct vision issues like myopia and astigmatism.
The entire procedure usually takes less than 15 minutes, and most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days. Temporary side effects, such as dryness and visual disturbances like halos or glares at night, are generally short-lived.
Choosing the Right Procedure: While various laser procedures are available, Advanced Surface Ablation is preferred for its minimal risk of complications and suitability for patients with specific conditions. At our center, we offer a range of options, including Femto LASIK and SMILE, but emphasize the safety and efficacy of ASA/Transepithelial PRK as a top choice for many patients.
