Ensures better safety and more comfort for surgeons and faster recovery for patients.
LASIK surgery at Wavikar Eye Institute, Thane, Mumbai, comes with advanced technology such as WaveLight Plus, the Allegretto WaveLight Eye-Q 500 Hz excimer laser, and the bladeless femtosecond laser (LenSx platform). This helps us offer you a safe, painless, and highly precise way to minimize or sometimes completely remove the use of spectacles.
Every procedure is customized to the needs of the patient’s corneal curvature and refraction to preserve natural corneal shape by our experts, like Dr. Chandrashekhar Wavikar (20+ years of experience and a milestone of completing 𝟐𝟓𝟎𝟎 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭 & 𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐊 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬), to improve quality of vision.
It is the fastest laser system using perfect pulse technology to safely & accurately control every single Laser pulse from start to end,offers customized treatment that incorporates wavefront principles.
Every procedure is tailored to the needs of the patient’s corneal curvature and refraction with the intention to preserve natural aspheric corneal shape and to maintain an improved quality of vision.
The procedure is performed in controlled situations taking into account sterility,humidity,temperature to maintain high hygiene standards.
The unique quality of the machine.The wavefront-optimized ablation gives better quality of vision.It has the fastest ever speed of 500 HZ–requires less time for surgery.Smallest spot size with low pulse energy assures tissue level safety.
USFDA approved gen-next Allegretto wave light eye Q 500 HZ excimer Laser machine.
Wavikar Eye Institute is also credited with the first installation of Bladeless Cataract Surgery technology“The LenSx platform”in this part of the world (OCTOBER 2011).The same platform is NOW upgraded to incorporate Bladeless Lasik.
The bladeless Lasik procedure applies the femtosecond laser technology for the creation of the Lasik flap.
We have successfully completed the procedure for eyes since its inception.The Bladeless Lasik is also known as ”All-Laser Lasik”.
In Thane, patients, based on a doctor’s recommendation, consider it for the following benefits:
The flap created by the blade is thinner in the center (meniscus flap) whereas the flap created by laser is of uniform thickness (planar flap).This feature along with customized edges ensures that the flap snugly fits in place after Lasik which is claimed to give a better quality of vision as compared to microkeratome flap.
The Bladeless Cataract and Bladeless Lasik with LenSx are both individually approved by USFDA.( United States Food & Drug Administration ).It means that before allowing this machine for commercial use,the USA Government (USFDA) has conducted rigorous tests and analyses of the results to ensure a higher level of patient safety.
A femtosecond flap can be customized in a much better way as a result of which many aspects of flap makes are under the control of the operating surgeon.The flap can be adjusted according to patient needs for better results.
The flap thickness achieved by a femtosecond laser is in the range of plus or minus 5 microns of the intended thickness as compared to microkeratome which has a variation of plus or minus 30 microns. This quality helps the surgeon and benefits the patient in many ways.
Although the incidence is quite low, the microkeratome has a set of complications in the construction of the flap. The inherent design of Femtosecond technology ensures that some of these complications are eliminated altogether and the incidence of some complications decreases significantly.
LenSx flap maker requires lower pressure to fix to the eye.This means lesser pain and more comfort for the patient.The procedure is also gentle on the eye.
Ensures better safety and more comfort for surgeons and faster recovery for patients.
The with blade wavefront-guided Lasik not only corrects the refractive error but also corrects higher-order corneal aberrations which provide enhanced visual quality.The Blade LASIK procedure applies the microkeratome technique for the creation of the Lasik flap.
ADVANTAGES:
The cost depends on the location, type of hospital, city, use of advanced technologies, and type of LASIK Procedure:
It can typically range from ₹25,000 to ₹1,60,000 per eye.
