Services- Millions of eyes are treated world over every year.
- It is the safest method in which there in no pain, no injection, no dressing and is of few seconds.
- Patient can resume his/her work from very next day
- Lasik is an out patient surgical procedure used to treat myopia (nearsightedness), Hyperopic (farsightedness) and astigmatism.
- In Lasik the Eye Surgeon uses a microsurgical instrument called microkeratome to create the corneal flap and Excimer laser to reshape the cornea according to Patient’s refractive error in such a way that the rays are focused on the retina automatically without the help of glasses or contact lenses.
- Lasik eliminates your dependence on glasses and contact lenses.
- Almost every patient achieves normal vision after Lasik Laser procedure.
- Lasik corrects distant vision, one may need reading glasses after the age of 40 years.
Custom LASIK surgery, also known as wavefront LASIK or wavefront-guided LASIK, uses 3-dimensional measurements of how your eye processes images to guide the laser in re-shaping the cornea.
Standard prescriptions for glasses, contacts, or traditional LASIK procedures can correct ordinary vision defects such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. But other irregularities associated with the eye's optical system could not be addressed until the advent of wavefront and related technology used in custom LASIK.
With a wavefront measurement system, some extremely precise, individualized vision correction outcomes may be achieved that would be impossible with traditional LASIK surgery, contact lenses or eyeglasses.
Wavefront technology is groundbreaking because it has the potential to improve not only how much you can see, visual acuity measured by the standard 20/20 eye chart, but also how well you can see, in terms of contrast sensitivity and fine detail. This translates into a reduced risk of post-LASIK complications, such as glare, halos, and difficulty with night vision.
How much you see depends on vision defects known as lower-order aberrations associated with common refractive errors including myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, which traditional LASIK can treat.
How well you see can depend on presence of the type and numbers of visual distortions known as higher-order aberrations, which can include irregularities other than common refractive errors. These higher-order aberrations can create problems such as decreased contrast sensitivity or night vision, glare, shadows, and halos. However, higher-order aberrations do not always affect vision. Unlike traditional LASIK, custom LASIK treats both lower- and higher-order aberrations.
Custom LASIK's (Wave Front) advantage lies in the area of quality of vision:- Greater chance of achieving 20/20 vision
- Greater chance of achieving better than 20/20 vision
- Reduced chance of losing visual quality or contrast sensitivity
- Reduced chance of night-vision disturbances and glare
Potential also exists for custom LASIK to treat those people who have lost best-corrected vision from any past refractive surgery: LASIK, PRK, RK, etc
A 2005 survey revealed that most refractive eye surgeons now use wavefront-guided LASIK in their practices.
Epi-LASIK is an abbreviation for Epithelial Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis. This procedure is an advanced type of corneal surface ablation to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. Epi-Lasik procedure is performed on patients having very high refractive error with thin cornea. In Epi-Lasik method corneal flap of 60 µ is created instead of 130 µ flap in conventional Lasik procedure. This gives the eye surgeon extra 70 µ to perform Laser Vision Correction on patients having very high myopia. After the epithelial flap is made, it is lifted and gently folded out of the way. An excimer laser is used, as in LASIK or PRK, to sculpt the underlying corneal tissue. Then the epithelial flap is placed back on the eye with a kind of spatula. A special contact lens is placed on the eye to keep the flap in place while it re-epithelializes. The contact lens protects the surface of the eye and allows the epithelial cells to grow back properly. After Epi Lasik procedure patient may experience pain, watering and blurred vision for 2-3 days.
This procedure is performed at Cure Sight Laser Centre. Lepto Lasik Procedure is performed upon the patient having very thin cornea with high refractive error. It can be performed also in the patients, who want save maximum corneal tissue, and obtain the benefit of Wavefront method. It is performed by creating the corneal flap of 70-90 microns and treating the patient by wavefront technology. No matter how thin the cornea is, we can correct refractive error of the patient safely and successfully.
The advantages of Lepto Lasik procedure are:- We can save maximum possible corneal tissue.
- We can assure 6/6 or 20/20 vision or super to the patient.
- We can correct bigger range of refractive error.
- As it corrects higher order aberration, it gives better contrast sensitivity, prevents night glare, halos, etc. It gives better night vision.

Tissue saving method is performed on the patients having very high myopia or hyper metropia and relatively this cornea. It is performed by creating the flap of 70-90 microns instead of 130 microns in conventional Lasik Laser method. Special software is used along with flap making instrument in this method. This procedure ensures that maximum possible number is corrected with minimum tissue utilization. There are less chances of regression of numbers in future and utmost safety is ensured to patient’s eye.

This is a disease of the eye cornea becomes weak, leading to progressive thinning and stretching of the cornea which gradually progresses. With the time cornea bulges forwards, leading to an irregular cone shape. It causes distortion and blurring of the image formed by the cornea. Usually this disease is bilateral, though the severity may vary between the two eyes. Cure Sight Laser Centre is one of the first laser centre in Gujarat to start the treatment of Keratoconus by C3-R method with UV-X. We have treated scores of patients of dreaded corneal disease keratoconus at CSLC and results are amazing. It stabilizes the progression of keratoconus or it is completely cured. We have expert team of doctors to treat keratoconus. This is eye saving procedure it doesn’t cure the numbers of the eyes.

LASIK Eye Surgery today is a safe and effective method of correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism for the vast majority of patients seeking Laser Vision Correction of their refractive error. However, for some patients who have very high plus or minus numbers and very thin corneas or have other corneal conditions that might lead them to complications with LASIK Laser procedure, another alternative is Implantable IOL to correct their vision. One such lens is the Phakic Intraocular Lens or ICL. It is readily implanted in your eye behind the iris, or colored part of the eye, by gently folding it and injecting into the anterior chamber through a tiny incision only 3.0mm in length placed by the eye surgeon at the clear edge of the cornea. Patient can go home immediately with clear vision after ICL implantation. We can correct numbers above -20 D to -30 D or +8 D to + 12 D with ICL implantation. The ICL was approved by the US FDA in December 2005.
