Celebrating 15th Year of laser vision correction surgeries at Narayana Nethralaya. Narayana best for laser eye surgery with 15 + years of experience in managing complex, irregular corneas, and complicated cases.
Vision errors, which are some of the most common eye abnormalities in the world, are caused due to changes in the length of the eyeball (longer or shorter), changes in the shape of the cornea, or age-related stiffness of the lens.In a normal eye, the cornea and lens are smooth and curved equally in all directions which allow light rays to focus sharply onto the retina, the light-sensitive surface at the back of the eye. This produces a clear image for the brain to process in an eye with refractive error, irregularly shaped cornea or lens prevents light from focusing properly onto the retina, causing blurred or distorted vision.
The main types of refractive errors are myopia (near-sightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), presbyopia (loss of near vision with age) and astigmatism. While presbyopia affects most adults over the age of 40, other refractive errors can affect both children and adults. Refractive errors, when left uncorrected, can lead to irreversible decrease in vision in one eye or both eyes depending on the severity, especially in children.
According to Dr. Bhujang Shetty, Chairman of Narayana Nethralaya, patients with corrected refractive errors have better quality of vision, and therefore an improved quality of life. In the past, refractive vision errors could only be corrected with corrective lenses such as eye glasses or contact lenses. Now a days, refractive surgery is an elective option that can help people with refractive errors reduce or eliminate their dependence on corrective lenses. Tremendous advances in surgical techniques, tools, and procedures have made refractive surgery a safe, effective, and reliable method for vision correction with few complications.
Refractive corneal surgery and refractive lens surgery are the currently established surgical methods for the correction of refractive error. In refractive corneal surgery the cornea and/or the lens is modified with excimer laser techniques and incisional procedures to enable light to focus onto the retina at the back of the eye. In refractive lens surgery, phakic intraocular lenses (PIOL) and refractive lens exchange (RLE) are used to refocus light rays for sharpen vision.
Eliminate your dependence on spectacles and contact lenses with Personalized Laser Vision Correction
Custom laser vision correction at the hands of experienced surgeons, with advanced diagnostics equipment, a state-of-the-art OT complex, and meticulous postoperative care makes Narayana Nethralaya the best choice for your laser eye surgery. We have over 15 years of experience in managing complex, irregular corneas, and complicated cases.
According to Dr. Rohit Shetty, corneal and refractive surgeon, and Vice Chairman of Narayana Nethralaya, “Every vision correction requirement is different and what type of surgery suits one patient may not be right for another”. Narayana Nethralaya offers various modern approaches to corrective eye surgery that range from CONTOURA, LASIK, SMILE, and PRK, where laser energies used to reshape the curvature of the cornea, to surgical insertion of artificial lenses to correct eyesight.
