LASIK is a laser vision correction procedure that reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors such as short-sightedness, long-sightedness, and astigmatism. It can help reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
During LASIK, a thin corneal flap is created and an excimer laser precisely reshapes the underlying corneal tissue. The flap is then repositioned, allowing the eye to begin healing naturally.
The ZEISS MEL 90 is an advanced excimer laser designed for precise corneal reshaping during laser vision correction. At Abate Eye Hospital, this technology supports accurate and personalised LASIK treatment for suitable patients.
The laser is designed to deliver controlled treatment based on each patient's individual prescription and corneal profile. Its advanced technology helps the surgeon precisely reshape the cornea to correct refractive errors such as short-sightedness, long-sightedness, and astigmatism.
With the ZEISS MEL 90 available at Abate, patients in Malabar can access advanced excimer laser technology as part of their vision correction treatment. Your surgeon will assess your eyes and determine whether LASIK is suitable for you.
LASIK uses advanced laser technology to reshape the cornea and correct refractive errors, helping reduce dependence on glasses and contact lenses.
Anaesthetic drops numb the eye and help keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.
A precise femtosecond laser creates a thin flap on the surface of the cornea.
An excimer laser precisely reshapes the underlying corneal tissue according to your vision correction requirements.
The corneal flap is carefully repositioned, where it naturally settles and begins to heal.
Your eye begins to recover after surgery, with prescribed eye drops and follow-up visits to support healing and monitor your vision.
LASIK may be suitable for adults with stable refractive errors such as short-sightedness, long-sightedness, or astigmatism who want to reduce their dependence on glasses or contact lenses. Suitability depends on factors including your prescription, corneal thickness and shape, eye health, and overall vision needs.
At Abate Eye Hospital, a detailed eye examination is performed to assess whether LASIK is appropriate for you. Your eye surgeon will evaluate your cornea, prescription, tear film, and overall eye health before discussing the most suitable vision correction option for your needs.
