Brief explanation on Advantages and Disadvantages of LASIK Eye Surgery by Vipin Buckshey
LASIK, which stands for laser in-situ keratomileusis, is a popular surgery used to correct vision in people who are nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism.All laser vision correction surgeries work by reshaping the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, so that light traveling through it is properly focused onto the retina located in the back of the eye. LASIK is one of a number of different surgical techniques used to reshape the cornea.
What Are the Advantages of LASIK Eye Surgery?
LASIK has many benefits, including:- Better Vision Through Surgery
- It works! It corrects vision. Around 96% of patients will have their desired vision after LASIK. An enhancement can further increase this number.
- LASIK is associated with very little pain due to the numbing drops that are used.
- Vision is corrected nearly immediately or by the day after LASIK.
- No bandages or stitches are required after LASIK.
- Adjustments can be made years after LASIK to further correct vision if vision changes while you age.
- After having LASIK, most patients have a dramatic reduction in eyeglass or contact lens dependence and many patients no longer need them at all.
What Are the Disadvantages of LASIK Eye Surgery?
Despite the pluses, there are some disadvantages to LASIK eye surgery:- Changes made to the cornea cannot be reversed after LASIK.
- LASIK is technically complex. Problems may occur when the doctor creates the flap, which can permanently affect vision.
- LASIK can rarely cause a loss of "best" vision. Your best vision is the highest degree of vision that you achieved while wearing your contacts or eyeglasses.
What Are the Potential Side Effects of LASIK Eye Surgery?
Some patients experience discomfort in the first 24 to 48 hours after LASIK eye surgery. Other side effects, although rare, may include:- Glare
- Seeing halos around images
- Difficulty driving at night
- Fluctuating vision
- Dry eyes
Vipin Buckshey Explained How Should You Prepare for LASIK Eye Surgery?
Before LASIK eye surgery, you will meet with a coordinator or eye surgeon who will discuss what to expect during and after the procedure. During this session, your medical history will be evaluated and your eyes will be fully examined. Likely initial tests include measuring corneal thickness, refraction, corneal mapping, air pressure, and pupil dilation. Once you have gone through the initial evaluation, you will meet the surgeon, who will answer any questions you may have. Afterwards, you can schedule an appointment for the procedure.About Vipin Buckshey

I found Dr. Vipin Buckshey of Visual Aids Centre have more than ten years of experienced in the field of LASIK eye surgery. I had my LASIK operation done by him in the year 2014 and I haven't faced any problem till now. So if you are thinking of removing your spectacles permanently then consult Dr. Buckshey, you can also get more information about him throughout their review website.
ReplyDeleteI have lost most of my vision after lasik done @ Visual Aids Centre Delhi by Vipin Buckshey & Dr. Anuj Singh. I am as good as a blind person with light sensitivity, glare, halos, ghosting and star-bursts. And have been gifted with contrast loss, glares, hypermetropia and dry eyes. I was not checked properly before the surgery and lasik itself was a disaster. Other surgeons say that my measurements and procedure was not correct. My cornea has been permanently scarred unevenly and now I have higher order aberrations.
ReplyDeleteIf You Do Not Love Your Eyes Or Wish To Turn BLIND, Then GO LASIK!!!
ReplyDeleteYes this is what happened to me and I would like/at least try to save who all are reading my review. I wore glasses for more than 20 yrs until the day of Lasik 16 Nov 2012 when I decided to get rid of the spectacles and get my C-Lasik done at VAC (Visual Aids Centre, Lajpat Nagar, New Delhi).
On 4th-5th day of Lasik I developed blurred vision and complained my doc, he did not take it seriously and asked me to switch to different set of eye drops. This thing continued for next 2.5 months, he kept experimenting different medicines on me but nothing worked. Finally on 26 Feb 2013 after taking a new Pentacam (eye test) the doctor at VAC proposed me re-Lasik. Since I did not consult any other doc during my first Lasik surgery, it was a high time for me and thereafter I went to 4 different doctors for seeking their suggestions.
All four Cornea specialists from Delhi (including hospitals like Shroff and AIIMS (Rajendra Prasad) diagnosed 'POST LASIK ECTASIA" commonly known as KERATOCONUS and advised me to undergo C3R/CXL surgery. Finally I undergo the C3R surgery in May, 2013 at AIIMS.
What went wrong in my case?
1. The Cornea thickness was 485 which was less than the minimum requirement of 500
2. There was a Corneal BULGE means inner and outer curvature of Cornea were not correct
3. There might have been some earlier traces of Keratoconus/PMD which were not diagnosed by the Visual Aids Centre doctor Umesh Bareja
The above 3 conditions could have been easily measured and taken into consideration by the doctor who operated me for C-Lasik and could have saved my eyes. But things are not that simple when you don’t do proper homework/research yourself, consult multiple sources and then decide what is right for you.
I had a very minor refraction -0,75 (R) and -1.50 (L) and today the readings are +0.50/-1.50 (R) and -1.75 (L). The new refraction may not be able to describe what I am actual going through.
1. I have complete blurredness without glasses and glasses just help me to see but I can't recognize people until they are really close in distance
2. I can't drive at night, even during day/evening time I can't read the signboards until they are real close
3. I have to sit in the front row/very close to the projected screen during meetings and seminars or else I can't read at all
The 4 docs that I visited before getting C3R at AIIMS all suggested that the Lasik surgery was not suitable for my eyes and nobody should have performed that. The doctor Umesh Bareja & Visual Aids Centre ruined my like for a very small sum of money that they charged (Rupees 30K actually). But is it really a small amount, yes of course for a surgery and an individual it does seem a small amount. But do a cumulative sum of people who undergo this surgery at VAC and all other such centres running in Delhi and rest of our country, they are making million and billions out of this surgery and befooling people like us.
The next piece of advice; do consult renowned Govt Hospitals if you plan for this particular surgery, if they give you a green signal then you can even think of getting it done at a private place.
The Final piece of advice, do ask doctors/ophthalmologists the young ones like us/you why they do not consider LASIK for themselves. I asked the same question while undergoing C3R at AIIMS but did not get a clear/firm/satisfactory answer. But I did understand that doctors do not consider this surgery good, so think if a Sweet maker is not ready to taste/eat his sweet, how can he sell it to naive people like us and why are we even buying it.
Consider me your friend or a well-wisher, rest is up to you to decide. GOOD LUCK!!!
