How to Choose Best-Suited Specs Removal Procedure | Eligibility for Cornea-Based Refractive Surgery
Are you considering cornea-based refractive surgery to improve your vision? There are several important factors to determine if you are a suitable candidate. In this video, we’ll cover the essential criteria and advanced testing procedure involved in defining the eligibility process for procedures like PRK, Contoura Vision, and lenticular-based techniques like SILK & SMILE.
Key Considerations:
Age Requirement: You should be at least 18 years old.
Stable Refraction:
Your glass prescription should be stable for at least last 6 months.
Contact Lens Protocol: Discontinue contact lens usage for at least 5 days before testing.
Pregnancy and Nursing: It’s advisable to avoid surgery if you are pregnant or a breastfeeding mother.
Medication Disclosure: Inform your doctor about any long-term medications as they may affect wound healing.
At Planet Lasik by Centre for Sight, we utilize advanced equipment such as the Pentacam and Schwind Amaris to map your cornea with precision. This detailed assessment helps us determine the most suitable procedure based on your corneal shape and thickness.
Procedure Types:
Non-Cut Procedures:
PRK, an ideal procedure for thinner corneas as they preserve more corneal tissue.
Cut-Based Procedures: These include Femtosecond or microkeratome-based flap surgeries (LASIK and Contoura Vision), and lenticular-based techniques (SILK & SMILE), which offer a smaller incision, making the surgery safer with fewer side effects like dry eyes and flap displacement.
Choosing the right procedure involves a personalized discussion with your eye doctor, considering your visual needs, corneal shape, and thickness. It’s not a one-size-fits-all approach, and we’re here to guide you through every step of the way.
