INTRODUCTION
TO C-LASIK
Human beings
always want to have the best in the world for themselves in the
process of evolution. Man always wanted to fly like a bird and to
have eyes like an eagle. Man has already started flying in sky as
well as in space and now eagle’s eye vision is possible with
C-LASIK. Human eye is capable of vision better than the
conventional 6/6 or 20/20 in many cases by C-LASIK.
C-LASIK is the customized ablation
wavefront technology and it is the ultimate technique for LASIK.
The advance machine which is used for C-LASIK is 4th
Generation Navex or C-LASIK CX-II laser. It is installed at
NETRADEEP EYE HOSPITAL PVT. LTD., RAJKOT since April 2004.NAVEX
is another step that treats LASIK surgery with the most advanced
technology that evaluates and analyzes each eye individually.
C-LASIK can be compared to a
tailor-made wedding dress, that is altered and shaped to best suit
the unique requirements of each individual. The cornea of the eye,
as well, is unique to each person and varies in shape and size, so
treatment by NAVEX is very precise and altered to suit to the
requirements of each person.
The Potential
Benefits of Customized LASIK
Greater chance of
achieving 6/6 vision
Greater chance of
achieving better than 6/6 vision
Reduced chance of
losing best corrected vision
Reduced chance of
losing visual quality or contrast sensitivity
Reduced chance of
night vision disturbances and glare
Increased ability
to restore best corrected vision if healing problems develop
Difference between
LASIK & C-LASIK:
LASIK :
All vision disorders for which glasses have to be used are measured
in terms of sphere or cylinder or a combination of both. The
best-corrected vision is termed 6/6. In simple Lasik, the sphere and
cylinder power of a person' eye is fed into the memory of the laser
machine, and the laser then corrects the error. This means that
myopia of -2.0 will be corrected in the same way in all individuals
with this error.
C-LASIK :
It is now known that sphere and cylinder constitute about 90-92% of
the visual disorders in an optical system of a human eye. The rest
is attributed to higher order aberrations. Correction of these
aberrations along with the usual spherical and cylinder power of the
eye result in a better sharpness and quality of vision. These higher
order aberrations along with the usual sphere and cylinder errors
can now be measured and documented with the help of a special
machine called an aberrometer (OPD scan-Nidek). This machine records
this data in the form of eye maps and the laser beam then corrects
these optical errors. Thus C-Lasik is a personalized program and
would be different for every eye.
C-LASIK offers multiple benefits to spectacle &
contact lens users:
A new visual freedom with a clear natural vision
without the hassles and inconvenience of corrective lenses.
Enhances self confidence and personality.
Matrimonial benefits where spectacles may be
considered a stigma by some.
Better carrier opportunities in certain services
where spectacles are not allowed.
No more fogging of spectacles in winter.
Stage artists need not fear from their eye
expressions getting lost behind a frame. Also eliminates problem of
arc light glare.
Advantage to sports people where
spectacles keep slipping on a sweaty nose.
No more unsightly marks or scars on face at the point
of support of spectacles.
