Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis or we can call it LASIK is a
surgery for eye correction like myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Recently,
LASIK very populer in this world because it is a alternative to reduce using
eyeglasses or contact lenses.Glasses or contact lenses are used to compensate
for refractive errors (refractive error) eyes by bending the light rays in a
way that complements the specific refractive error eye. In contrast, LASIK and
other forms of refractive surgery (bias) for the purpose of correcting refractive error eye to reduce the need for other vision aids.
LASIK surgery uses an excimer laser (ultraviolet
laser) to precisely
eliminate corneal tissue, giving a new shape so
that light rays are focused
directly on the retina. LASIK makes the cornea
becomes very thin.LASIK an outpatient surgical
procedure. In the LASIK procedure will
take 10 to 15 minutes
to perform the
treatment for each eye. only anesthetic used is
eye drops that numb the eye surface of.
This procedure is done when you are awake,
but you will
get medicine to help
you relax. LASIK surgery can be performed in one or both eyes during the same session. In the human eye, the front surface (cornea) and lens inside the eye to form "system concentration (focus) the" eyes and is primarily responsible for the concentration (focus) light rays on the surface of the retina, much like the lens of a camera focus in light. On a perfect optical system, the power of the cornea and lens is matched perfectly to the length of the eye and the images are in focus; any mismatch in this system is called a refractive error (refractive error), and the result is an image that is blurred in some locations. So LASIK surgery eye is needed to improve your vision.
Techniques LASIK was first made
possible by an expert ophthalmologist Colombia-took place in Spain, Jose
Barraquer, who around
1950 at his clinic in Bogotá, Colombia,
wake mikrokeratome first and develop
the techniques used to cut a layer of lime
on the cornea and
change its shape, through a procedure known as keratomileusis.Its the first time techniques of LASIK was used.
LASIK surgery for the first time
carried out over ten
years ago, and over
2 million LASIK
surgery have been
implemented in the United States
two years ago. Today,
the procedure is much practiced in Europe,
Australia, United States, Hong Kong, Japan,
Korea, Taiwan and
Singapore. The LASIK
procedure to change the shape of the cornea, which is the transparent front
cover of the eye. Although excimer laser
has been used for
many years before, the development of LASIK are generally
awarded on Pallikaris
Ioannis from Greece around 1991.
