Hi-Tech Healing Opportunities: Refractive
Surgery
Refractive
surgery is gaining popularity in India both among the public as well as
among ophthalmologists. Till a few years ago only a few centres performed
high volume radial keratotomy. Today, the highest international quality of
eye core for cornea, cataract, squint and glaucoma is available in over 40
centres all over India. When it comes to reliability, India has the best
ophthalmic surgeons with clinico-academic expertise honed to perfection in
the best possible institutions.
Apollo Hospital, Gurunanak Eye
Centre, Dr.Rajindra Prasad Centre For Ophthalmic Sciences and Mohan Eye
centre in Delhi, Shankar Naytralay in Chennai, L.V.Prasad hospital in
Hyderabad are just some of the more popular eye care hospitals.
The
No Stitch Cataract Surgery with the most modern way of removing cataract
through the use of Phacoemulsification procedure can be performed in India
for as little as Rs. 20,000, for both the eyes whereas the same surgery
costs $ 45,00 in the USA. Facilities for PRK, myopia and astigmatism are
now available in almost all parts of the country.
Hyperopics and
LASIK are available and even supra hard cataracts are treated using just 1
mm incision instead of the 3 mm incision size. Photo refractive
keratectomy or PRK treats the surface of the cornea with the Excimer laser
while LASIK treats the inner tissue of the cornea. For this reason, with
LASIK there is less area to heal, less risk of scarring, less risk of
corneal haze, less post-operative pain and vision often returns very
rapidly.
