Laser Eye Surgery
Laser eye surgery increasingly popular everywhere. The more people who lasering their eyes, that can appear without glasses or contact lenses. In addition to the purpose of beauty, some people want to free from obligation in using glasses because of the professional demand, like photographer and sportsman.
Many clinics in the Netherlands and abroad that offers laser eye package. To entrap consumers sometimes eye clinic abroad offer package laser eye accommodation plus tickets and lodging costs at the hotel with a price that is almost the same as in the Netherlands. Laser eye is quite safe, although not without risks.
There are many different techniques of laser eye. Below I will explain in brief 2 laser method for aberration refraction the most often used in the Netherlands (Lasik and Lasek).
Usually, laser eye safe. But many people do not know that the risk can be large also. A brother my good friend in Bali, the eyes was blind after get laser eye surgery. This has not been long in the Dutch television reports have impressions about laser eye failed.
Laser
Laser energy is the strong (-ray beam) that can be directed exactly as straight and flat on a small object. Diameter of the beam diffraction is very small, so that it can be used as a scalpel. Use of the laser is applied in the medical world and the various tools (such as a CD or DVD).
Preparation
To be able to undergo laser eye, you should consider a few things. In general, the steps are as follows: check the list of indemnity health insurance or your confirmation prior to your insurance company if they are willing to pay the cost of your laser eye. If not, you must provide a lot of money (in most clinics cost more than € 4000, for a pair of eyes). Request a brochure and price list of laser procedures in some clinics.
In the Netherlands and abroad also have a large difference in price for the same operation and maintenance after surgery. Please count the total price you must pay for full treatment (in all) and the cost of after service (warranty). To inform the clinic of the year how much they offer a warranty when complications occur.
After that you are looking for a good eye doctor (a lot of experience with the laser), who works in the eye clinic (clinic that the success is assured and use the latest tool). This is not easy, but the combination is essential to obtain satisfactory results. Take more time and attention you to search for information!
Finally you must choose a method of laser eye you want. Risk of Lasik and Lasek action more or less the same.
Reading Glasses
Until this has not been possible with the help of laser eye (eye surgery refraction) to help you be free from reading glasses.
The user can select the reading glasses with the help of wave action electromagnetic (CK = Conductive Keratoplasty), action without surgery or the use of laser rays. With the help of this technique the dependence on reading glasses can be reduced and even eliminated altogether.
Eye
The eye is a ball which consists of various layers. In principle, the corrections made on the surface of the cornea and / or on the epitel network. On the laser eye action for people with refraction aberration (refraction aberration is the long eyeball axis deviation or refractive media aberration that far into the causes of myopic, dioptric, and cylinder).
Before Surgery
Eye clinic usually only accept patients from the age of 18-55 years, sometimes up to 60 years also for the actions of LASIK. People with a stable eye (size glass eyes have been stable for 1 year) and the spectacled size + 3.5 (farsighted) to minus 6 dioptric can do laser eye. Each clinic has different health requirements.
Let your eyes initially get a quick scan; action is free in many clinics. If the results of the test is good and you can undergo laser eye, then the clinic will ask for your choice of laser methods. After that they will explain the procedures. Laser process itself short (up to 2 minutes per eye), and you do not need to Inpatient.
Lasik (assited laser in situ keratomileusis) Action
Laser LASIK eye action with action that is most applicable in the world. Tools equipped with the latest laser a eyetracker (pursuivant eye movement).
The first stage of LASIK is the sign in the middle of the cornea and the placement of a ring around the cornea so that the eye can not move. After it was created lamina (flap) on the cornea. At the next stage flap is then opened so that the laser rays can be worked on in the cornea.
Correction was conducted with the laser to change the surface of the cornea. After irradiation is complete, the flap is put back exactly in the place and time in 3-5 minutes will flap attached itself without the need to be sewn.
Cornea can be healed completely, but will not recover as before the laser process! Flap remains attached to the cornea. This place can remain the weak point. Duration irritation (and pain after the laser) is usually shorter action of LASEK.
Lasek (laser epithelial keratectomy sub) Action
The first stage of the lasek is, the epitel layer that is the most shallow of the cornea are removed. After that the surface of the cornea will get laser.
Correction made to change the surface of the cornea. After irradiation is complete, put contact lenses (soft contact lens) on the cornea as a protector. After approximately 4 hours if the layer is cured epitel the contact lens can be removed. Healing process is complete. LASEK appropriate action orang2 with a thin cornea or other irregularities cornea.
After Surgery
Control and critical care after surgery to prevent pain in the eye that arises in the process of healing, infection and complications. Remember that after get a laser your eyes must rest for a while (so you can not steer the car and swim). Usually with the help of eyedrops or take the medicine paracetamol is sufficient to overcome the pain after the operation.
Ranesi (doctor) Suggestions
Please really consider first, if you want to correct your eye which is valuable using laser surgery. If you already intend unanimously, talk first with your acquaintance who has a laser eye on their experience.
Request information to consumers about the organization of doctors and clinics that have a reputation of good. And do not forget to find out whether the clinic has a certificate that is recognized (ISO). You must remember that all the eye clinic is always a promise to provide high-flown, and they very rarely fail to include measures that clearly in their brochure!
If possible, always just one eye for the first that get laser and if the eye has healed well you can continue to the other. This is less practical and a little more expensive, but remember that you only have 2 eyes!
If your insurance company does not pay your treatment and you pay income tax in the Netherlands, then you can ask back a small part of the cost from the tax. First inform the tax office if you have hope to get back your money.
Of course I do not recommend you to not get laser eye surgery to cure your eye. The quality of almost every eye surgery undertaken by the experienced eye doctor in the good clinic is very good.
