Our Special Techniques II

In the last post we discussed about the Thin Blade LASIK. Today, we will throw some light on Large Zone Ablations, about where it is useful, how it is done and some of the things we should know about it.

Large Zone Ablations: This is helpful for patients concerned about night vision or those who have large pupils. In this advanced treatment, Dr. Selkin applies smoothing pulses around the outer edges of the cornea after correcting your prescription. The procedure creates a treatment that is larger than your pupil size, to reduce risks of glare and halos at night.

Continuing with our Specialized Techniques, next we will talk about our Specialized Wavefront Custom Technology.

Selkin Laser Center: Our Specialized Techniques

Let’s start with discussing some of the Specialized Techniques that we follow at Selkin Laser Center. Today, we will focus on Thin Blade LASIK.

Thin Blade LASIK: In some cases, patients who have corneas that are too thin to correct their prescription with traditional LASIK, can have LASIK by creating a thinner flap. By creating a thinner flap, we have more room to work with in treating your prescription. Dr. Selkin is extremely conservative and will only perform procedures in which he maintains a corneal thickness that he is comfortable with. This is why, in over 55,000 laser vision procedures; we have never had a single complication from treating too much corneal thickness.

We will discuss more on our Specialized Large Zone Ablations in the future posts.

What is LASIK?

What is LASIK? How does it help a person correct his/her vision? What are the basic defects that can be treated by the LASIK surgery?? Let’s search answers to some of these here:

• LASIK stands for LAser In Situ Keratomileusis. LASIK is more or less used as an acronym for it.
  
• In simplest of words, it is an advanced laser procedure which involves a surgical operation. In the surgical operation, a tiny flap is cut in the top of the cornea. The flap is then lifted so that a laser beam can remove the internal tissue from the inside of cornea, thereby correcting the vision defects.
  
• By removing the tissue it helps correct various vision defects, such as glasses, contact lenses or higher degrees of myopia. As this procedure requires less time as well as pain for a patient to recovery fully, it is widely gaining popularity, for vision corrections.

At Selkin Laser Center, our doctors perform all types of LASIK surgical operations with minimum of fuss.

Snippets - Clear Vision

Let us learn about some basic points on Clear Vision. Clear vision results when light rays enter the eye and are focused perfectly on the retina (the back of the eye). In order for this to occur, all of the layers of the eye must bend the light rays perfectly.

• The first layer of the eye is considered the tear film. If the eye is dry, and the tear film is poor, patients will not have their best quality vision.
• The second layer is the cornea. If the cornea is too steep (as in nearsighted patients), light will not be focused on the retina.
• The third layer is clear fluid (aqeous humor).
• The fourth layer is the lens. If the lens is cloudy, this is called a cataract.
• The next layer is the vitrous, a clear fluid. This is the layer where people get floaters.

When this Clear Vision gets impaired due to several reasons, people choose the LASIK eye surgery procedure to get rid of eyeglasses or contacts.Where LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis. Selkin Laser Center specializes in low cost LASIK Eye Surgery and providing expert assistance to help correct vision defects
