Vision Centers In India
The highlights of the treatment are its reliability and the extremely short duration of the operation. All medical regulatory authorities, including the US FDA, have approved of this treatment.
It is very popular all over the world. Around one million people are expected to undergo this treatment during the current year.
Types of treatment in India for Eyes
Eye Basics
The human eye is a complex mechanism in many ways similar to a camera. Sometimes when there is a mismatch between the curvature of the cornea, the power of the lens and the length of the eye, the eye focuses images ahead of or behind the retina.
This is known as a refractive error. This results in unclear vision, eyestrain and headaches. To eliminate this mismatch, spectacles or contact lenses need to be worn.
Refractive Errors
In ordinary circumstances, the curvature of the cornea, the power of the lens and the length of the eye are finely coordinated to focus images perfectly on the retina and thereby produce clear, strain free vision. Sometimes this system fails and light rays focus the image ahead or behind the retina. This results in unclear vision, eye strain and headaches. These conditions are known as refractive errors and can be of the following types:
Nearsightedness
Farsightedness
Aging eyes
Astigmatism
Laser Solutions
Spectacles and contact lenses are only two methods of correcting refractive errors.
Ophthalmologists have for long struggled to develop a more permanent way of treating refractive errors. While a myriad variety of procedures have been developed to treat refractive errors, the safest, most effective and most popular method by far is LASIK performed with the Excimer Laser. In special circumstances, you may be better suited to other vision correction procedures, like PRK or LASEK. All New Vision centres offer all these procedures, and your New Vision Doctor will help you make the right choice.
In LASIK, the refractive error is corrected by appropriately reshaping the cornea to change its curvature, and hence, its focusing power.
Pre-operative Preparation
The first step in your journey to a life free from Spectacles and Contact Lenses involves setting up a Pre-Procedure Consultation appointment.
This consultation is important for several reasons.
To determine if you are a candidate
To answer your questions
To learn as much as you can about laser vision correction, about PRK and LASIK
To understand the likely result, especially for your eyes.
During the pre-evaluation process we will carefully evaluate your eyes and answer any questions.
Costing
The average price for LASIK in the U.S. in around $1600 per eye. This translates to $3200 per patient.
In contrast,at New Vision, you can get surgery done for only $800 for two eyes.
This translates to a clear saving of $2400. You can easily get a free trip to India to visit your relatives and friends and undergo LASIK at New Vision, for less than the price of undergoing LASIK in the U.S.A. or U.K.Add to that the advantages of undergoing surgery in India, where the surgeon speaks your own language, where the staff takes care of you in a homely and caring way, and where expert surgeons (who do high volumes) work on even better equipment than is available in the U.S., and you have a proposition you can't refuse.
