Monovision LASIK

The Mono vision LASIK procedure is an alternative for patients age far-sighted. Monovision LASIK the Mono vision LASIK eye laser procedure is to correct the way from approximately 40 years of age the leading eye for distance and the non-dominant eye for the close or discontinue. Like the focus of a photo apparatus. Thus the Mono vision LASIK-treated people no longer depend on a pair of glasses for close-range. The condition in which the left and right eye have different refractive conditions referred to as Monovision.

While an eye only in the distance can see well the other eye can focus only objects in the vicinity. This condition may be congenital, caused by a pair of glasses or intentionally caused by a surgical procedure. Achieve the objective of Monovision LASIK also can be, the perfect interplay of both eyes is necessary. This can be simulated before the surgery with the aid of contact lenses. This was successful and if the restriction of the spatial vision not as bothersome, this form can be used by laser eye. Advantages: Glasses for distance and proximity generally no longer needed phone, menu, price tags without glasses visible. Disadvantages: Limitation of spatial vision, on long car journeys, at dusk or very small text reading may require sometimes a pair of glasses. LASIK procedure LASIK Mono vision belongs to the different procedures to correct vision defects of the human eye.

Are more often performed interventions: the conventional LASIK, where the corneal CAP is cut the microkeratome with a tiny knife, and folded up. Subsequently, within a few seconds the cornea models depending on the strength of refractive of error and removed. This is done with the so-called excimer laser, a cold light laser. Then the flap (lid of the cornea) is closed again and the wound heals by alone. The more modern variant of LASIK is the Femto LASIK method, defined as Intralasik. In this case is the flap”not with a knife, but with a laser cut and prepared. This is done with the help of the Femtosekundenlasers, which makes a clean and even cut in the cornea. Advantage of this method is that no cut-related complications may occur more and wound healing runs better and faster. This procedure is safer and more comfortable for the patient. A further development of this process is the modern i-LASIK = custom LASIK. In this technique, the eye is first scanned and made an accurate profile of the cornea. A so-called fingerprint”of the eye. Goal is to be able to handle the Ametropia of the eye individually, depending on the person. I-LASIK procedure is now offered in many clinics and practiced. Also during the LASIK in Istanbul i LASIK is more and more in demand. LASEK is there in addition to these forms of the Lasikverfahren still the LASEK. This treatment method for patients with very thin corneas in question comes. It is not created a flap as in LASIK. This is in contrast top layer of the cornea (epithelium) with alcohol removed and rolled up. After that is how the other procedure eliminates the refractive error with the excimer laser. Advantages of this method are: no cut risk and no interruption of the blood supply, since the eye must not be sucked in. Disadvantages: Slightly more painful than LASIK, wound healing, and correction of vision takes longer. Mathias Weber
