How is FEMTO Lasik Surgery Diagnosed?

Diagnosis involves a comprehensive eye evaluation performed by an ophthalmologist. Tests include:

Vision tests: To measure refractive errors and prescription strength.
Corneal topography: To map the shape and thickness of the cornea.
Pupil and retina examination: To assess overall eye health.
Tear film analysis: To check for dry eye conditions.
Dilated eye exam: To detect underlying eye diseases.

Once all tests are completed, the ophthalmologist determines whether you are a suitable candidate for FEMTO Lasik.

Recovery Time

Recovery after FEMTO Lasik surgery is relatively quick compared to traditional procedures. Most patients notice improved vision within 24 hours. Initial dryness, mild irritation, or blurry vision usually resolve within a few days. By the end of the first week, most individuals can return to work and resume normal daily activities. Complete healing may take 3 to 4 weeks.

What to Expect: Before, During & After Procedure

Before surgery: You will undergo eye tests, and your doctor will provide instructions such as avoiding contact lenses and eye makeup before the procedure.

During surgery: The surgeon uses a femtosecond laser to create a thin flap in the cornea, which is then lifted so the excimer laser can reshape the cornea. The flap is gently repositioned, and no stitches are required. The procedure takes about 15 to 20 minutes for both eyes.

After surgery: Patients may experience mild discomfort, watery eyes, or light sensitivity. Protective eye shields may be recommended for a few days.

Recovery Timeline & Post-Treatment Care

Day 1: Noticeable improvement in vision though mild blurriness may persist.
Days 2–7: Gradual recovery with reduced discomfort and better clarity.
Week 2–4: Most side effects disappear, and vision stabilizes.
Month 2–3: Complete recovery with sharp, clear vision.

Post-treatment care tips:

Avoid rubbing or pressing the eyes
Use prescribed lubricating eye drops
Wear sunglasses outdoors to protect from UV rays
Limit screen time for the first few days
Follow the doctor’s instructions carefully

Factors that Affect the Treatment Cost for FEMTO Lasik Surgery

Ophthalmology consultation charges

The consultation fees vary based on the doctor’s expertise and hospital facilities.

Diagnostic tests

Severity and recurrence of condition

Patients with higher refractive errors may require more complex treatment, which can affect pricing.

How to Prevent FEMTO Lasik Surgery from Coming Back

FEMTO Lasik surgery provides a permanent correction for refractive errors. However, natural aging of the eyes may still cause changes in vision over time. Preventive care includes:

Scheduling regular eye check-ups
Protecting eyes from UV exposure
Maintaining good eye hygiene
Managing conditions like diabetes and hypertension that affect eye health
Avoiding excessive screen strain by following the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds)
