LASIK surgery to get rid of glasses or contact lenses

Laser eye surgery may seem like a big step, but it is the most convenient and painless way to get clear vision without glasses or lenses. LASIK is a surgical procedure used to correct vision in people who are nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism.
It is a type of refractive eye surgery that provides you with the comfort of unobstructed vision. Other types of LASI surgeries include femto-LASIK, PRK (photorefractive keratectomy), Epi LASIK (laser-assisted epithelial keratomileusis) and wavefront-guided LASIK.

Eye surgery procedures have seen great technological advancements due to which more and more people are now opting for bladeless eye surgeries.
PRK (photorefractive keratectomy): This is the first vision correction surgery where a laser is used to change the shape of the cornea.
ICL (Implantable Contact Lens): Lenses made of Collamer, a biocompatible material, are implanted in the eye between the iris and the natural lens.
RLE (Refractive Lens Exchange): First the natural lens is removed from the eye and an artificial lens is implanted inside the eye.
ReLEx SMILE (Refractive Lens Extraction, Small Incision Lens Extraction): A femtosecond laser is used to sculpt tiny lenses in the cornea

What are the differences between the different types of glasses disposal procedures?

Laser vision correction surgery or lens-based surgeries are used to correct common vision problems (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia) to reduce your dependence on eyeglasses and/or contact lenses. Most types of laser vision correction surgery reshape the cornea, the clear front part of the eye. your eye.
This allows light to pass through and focus properly on the back of your eye or retina. The three main ways to improve focus are reshaping the lens/cornea you already have, adding a lens you don’t have, or replacing a lens that doesn’t work, and different types of disposal procedures. The glasses are:
LASIK
LASIK, or laser topical keratomileusis, works for people who suffer from myopia, farsightedness, or astigmatism. The doctor reshapes the tissues below the cornea so that he can focus the light properly. A flap is also made in the outer layer of the cornea so that the tissue can be reached. Underneath it and the flap is what makes LASIK different from other procedures. Your doctor may use a type of computer imaging called wavefront technology to create a detailed picture of your cornea that he can use as a guide.
PRK
PRK or photorefractive keratectomy also called ASA (advanced surface refractive keratectomy) is used to correct mild to moderate nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism like LASIK the surgeon uses a laser to reshape the cornea but only affects the surface of the cornea and not the tissue underneath and no flap is created in this The procedure is unlike LASIK and the doctor may also use computed tomography of the cornea.
Relax smile
This is an advanced laser base procedure performed on the cornea where no flap is created. This procedure combines the benefit of LASIK and PRK. Here a disc of tissue is removed with the help of a laser from within the cornea, allowing reshaping of the cornea so there is no flap and no change to the surface of the cornea. Smile lasik preserves the strength of the cornea better.
RLE
RLE stands for Refractive Lens Exchange and other names include PRELEX, Clear Lens Exchange (CLE), Clear Lens Extraction (CLE) and Refractive Lens Replacement (RLR). It’s the same as cataract surgery. The doctor makes a small cut on the edge of your cornea. Your natural lens is removed and replaced with a silicone lens. Or plastic to correct extreme farsightedness or nearsightedness, it works well for people with corneal weakness, dry eyes, or other minor corneal problems and is an advanced technology to get rid of glasses.

What results can you expect?

After the glasses removal procedure, most patients can see well without glasses or contact lenses to perform all daily activities, including driving. However, people over the age of 40 may need to wear reading glasses after the operation for a short period until things stabilize.
The most common complication is under-correction and over-correction, which can be successfully treated. You will have a good idea of what to expect after your ophthalmologist at Al Batal Polyclinic has examined you, reviewed all screening tests, and explained the surgery.

Advantages of getting rid of glasses

Because glasses may be a burden for many, and getting rid of glasses is beneficial due to the following:

Have you ever said, “Where do I put my glasses?” Only to realize they’re on your forehead? Keeping a close eye on eyeglasses is not always an easy task.
In general, any water-related activity can be difficult with glasses and after laser eye surgery, there will be no more problems.
You can’t buy any pair of sunglasses without a prescription and they can be hassle-free and expensive.
It’s raining so you’ll need a good umbrella to keep your glasses dry in the rain and getting caught in a downpour can quickly get you injured?
Your vision is limited by the size and design of your frames. Glasses can improve your vision, but only up to a point.
It is impossible to keep your glasses clean and keeping the lens print completely free is complicated.
Any kind of movement has the potential to move your glasses off your head and your glasses.
If you replace a $200 pair of glasses every two years, you’ll have spent $2,000 in 20 years. That’s quite a lot for the long-term cost of getting rid of the glasses.

Does wearing glasses improve eyesight?

Yes, wearing glasses improves your vision, but only while you are wearing them. To improve your vision without glasses, you will need to fix the cause of your vision problems, which may mean changing your physical eye.
If you are farsighted, for example, your cornea may have a limited curving pattern, which prevents your eyes from refracting light at the correct level. Unless you can get rid of the refractive error, the way to fix it is to adjust the curve.
Eyeglasses can help your vision by enlarging your field of vision to make it easier to see things up close, but they won’t take away the small curve size and will work with it to provide you with at least the best visual acuity while wearing corrective eyeglasses.
In other words, your lenses will correct your vision based on your prescription. However, when you take off your glasses, your vision may return to normal. Keep in mind that your glasses can correct your vision to 20/20 in some cases (or better).
But it depends on your eyes. For example, if you have 20/70 to 20/160 vision while wearing glasses, you may have low vision, which may require additional steps or special lenses to improve your eyesight.
Also, your eyesight can deteriorate as you get older due to presbyopia, and regular comprehensive eye exams can ensure that you get the help you need for your eyes before symptoms become too severe.

Does wearing glasses make your eyes worse?

Not wearing glasses will not harm your eyes, but it can lead to symptoms of vision loss. Symptoms of farsightedness may include eyestrain or fatigue after excessive use of near vision. Irritability and headaches are also common.

You may have noticed that since getting the glasses many of these symptoms have disappeared. However, by not wearing the glasses, the effects of refractive error or other eye problems may return.
This is why it is suggested to wear corrective glasses according to your ophthalmologist’s recommendations as they will detail the frequency of wearing glasses after an eye examination.
If you are worried that you will not be able to wear glasses all the time, do not worry, as you may not have to, as you can get rid of the glasses through the best techniques available in the Batal Specialist Complex in Jeddah.
