LASIK and ATOS SmartSight are two advanced procedures for improving your vision.
LASIK reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors, offering fast recovery and effective results.
ATOS SmartSight uses a minimally invasive lenticule extraction technique that removes corneal tissue with a small incision, preserving more of the cornea.
Both procedures are highly effective, providing customised results based on your needs.
At Wavikar Eye Institute, we offer both LASIK and the advanced ATOS SmartSight procedure, that’s available for the first time in Thane. With these options, we ensure the most advanced and effective vision correction solutions for you.
With NABH accreditation, we prioritise safety, accuracy, and compassionate care throughout your treatment process.
Led by Dr. C. M. Wavikar, our expert team provides customised treatment plans and personalised care for optimal results.
It’s a great choice if you meet the following criteria:
At my age of 80 & my wife’s at 76, living life without wearing spectacles was a dream come true. Indeed! Today after our cataract surgey at wavikar’s , we could achieve this. With cutting edge technology like LensX, surgery was absolutely painless & we wer able to carry out our daily schedule almost immediately. Truly, this has given us opportunity to live life easily.
As my busy schedule demands fast recovery that I could get it from advanced LenSx Laser technology. Thanks, Dr.wavikar for introducing LenSx in Thane.
It was only after I got my LASIK done, I realized what I missed the past 40 years.
A: Wavikar Eye Institute offers a range of advanced refractive surgery options tailored to meet individual needs:
A: LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) is a widely used eye surgery for correcting refractive errors. It involves creating a thin flap in the cornea using a laser, then reshaping the underlying corneal tissue with another laser to improve vision.
A: SmartSight is an advanced, minimally invasive refractive surgery that removes a disc-shaped tissue from the cornea (lenticule) through a small incision. This reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors without the need for a large flap.
A: LASIK offers several advantages, including:
A: SmartSight offers several advantages:
A: LASIK surgery is quick, typically taking 10 to 15 minutes for both eyes. The laser procedure itself lasts about 20 to 50 seconds per eye. Vision improves significantly within 24 hours, with most people resuming normal activities the next day. Full recovery may take a few weeks.
A: Patients often worry about pain during the procedure, but LASIK surgery involves minimal discomfort. Anaesthetic eye drops are used to numb the eyes before the surgery, and at most, patients might feel slight pressure on the eye during the procedure. Post-operative discomfort is usually mild and manageable with prescribed medications for most patients.
A: SmartSight offers a bladeless, flapless, and virtually painless procedure, typically lasting 8-10 minutes per eye. It uses low-energy lasers and tissue-saving profiles, ensuring precision and minimal disruption to the eye.
A: The choice between SmartSight and LASIK depends on your eye anatomy, refractive error, and corneal thickness. LASIK is suitable for patients with higher refractive errors or thinner corneas, while SmartSight’s smaller incision and quicker recovery may be more beneficial for certain individuals. Your ophthalmologist will help determine the best option for you.
A: Corvis ST is a non-contact tonometer combined with an ultra-high-speed Scheimpflug camera, providing valuable data on corneal biomechanics. While it doesn’t directly determine the choice between LASIK and SmartSight, it aids in evaluating eye health for optimal treatment planning.
