Eye LASIK treatment has become very popular, because it is quick, precise,
virtually painless, and the complication risk is very low. It is a surgical
procedure whereby a laser is used to reshape the cornea in order to correct
near- or far sightedness and astigmatism. Specialized LASIK centers
throughout Thailand have highly trained ophthalmologists who offer their
patients a complete range of examination and treatment options, at a much
lower cost than in most western countries.
The benefits are overwhelming:
• reduce your dependence on eyeglasses and contact lenses
• eliminate risks associated with long term contact lens usage
• be more eligible for more professions
• improve your performance in many activities, especially water and outdoor
sports.
The CustomVue Lasik procedure tailors a unique correction for each
individual. It employs the VISX Wavescan and Waveprint system, a new
diagnostic system that captures a “fingerprint” of the eye which is 25 times
more precise than what was previously measurable by standard methods.
Wavescan evaluates more than nearsightedness, farsightedness, and
astigmatism; it captures other, more specific imperfections in each
individual’s vision. The data is then used to generate an individualized
treatment for a CustomVue procedure.
LASIK, laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis, is one of the most popular
vision correction procedures because it can correct nearsightedness,
farsightedness and astigmatism for a broad range of prescriptions. LASIK
corrects vision by re-shaping the cornea so that light focuses more
precisely on the retina. In “Standard LASIK”, the corneal
flap is created with a mechanical device - called a microkeratome - which
utilizes a metal blade.
PRK was the original laser refractive surgery and at one time was the most
common available and demonstrate a high level of safety and effectiveness.
Despite LASIK's shortened recovery time, PRK remains an option with its own
set of advantages and may at times be suggested instead of LASIK. Unlike
LASIK, a flap is not created during PRK. Instead, the cornea is treated
directly with the Excimer laser, altering its shape to provide the needed
prescription. After surgery, you will never need to wear glasses or contact
lens again.
PresbyLasik Laser Eye Surgery is considered as the first All-in-One
Correction for shortsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and Old-Age
reading problem, which provides presbyopic patient with both satisfactory
reading and distance vision with the new advanced PAC software develop using
the NAVEX Laser machine to solve reading problems.
NEAR VISION OR NV LASIK is a solution for people with Age-Related vision
problems; starting at approximately 38 years old, most people will begin to
notice that reading and other near tasks are not as easy as they once were.
Focusing up close becomes more difficult. By the mid 40s, many must struggle
to read a menu and are unable to read a price tag at a store without using
reading glasses. For these people, this is the right choice that can
decrease their dependence on glasses and can help them see both near and
far.
This package is created by TWTC for the medical tourists who seek to combine
their holiday with the correction of vision by cataract surgery which is a
common and quick procedure to remove the affected lens and replaced with an
artificial lens.
