LASIK surgery and its aftercare
LASIK surgery is one of the most common and effective surgical methods for correcting refractive errors of the eye, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. In this method, the shape of the cornea is changed using a laser so that light focuses correctly on the retina, reducing the need for glasses or contact lenses.
 
Benefits of LASIK surgery:
 
Reduced dependence on glasses or contact lenses: One of the most important benefits of LASIK is freedom from the limitations of using glasses or contact lenses.
Improved quality of life: By correcting refractive errors, many daily activities such as sports, driving, and swimming become much easier.
Short recovery period: Typically, the recovery period after LASIK is very short, and patients can return to their normal activities within a few days.
High safety: With the advancement of laser technology, LASIK surgery has become very safe.
 
Post-LASIK surgery care:
After LASIK surgery, following certain care is very important for rapid and complete visual recovery. These cares include:
 
Using eye drops: Your doctor will prescribe eye drops for you, which should be used regularly and as directed by your doctor. These drops help reduce inflammation, relieve dry eyes, and prevent infection.
Avoiding rubbing the eyes: Avoid rubbing your eyes for a few days after surgery to avoid damaging the cornea.
Wearing sunglasses: In the first few days after surgery, wear sunglasses with full UV protection to protect your eyes from sunlight.
Avoiding strenuous activities: Avoid strenuous activities such as contact sports, swimming, and lifting heavy objects for a few days.
Regular follow-up visits to the doctor: You should see your doctor regularly to check your progress and ensure there are no complications.
 
Side effects of LASIK surgery:
Like any other surgery, LASIK may have side effects. Some common side effects of LASIK include:
 
Dry eyes: Dry eyes are one of the most common side effects of LASIK, which can usually be controlled with the use of artificial tears.
Halos around objects: In some cases, patients may experience halos around objects after surgery, which usually improves over time.
Light sensitivity: Light sensitivity is another common side effect of LASIK that is usually temporary.
Infection: Although infection after LASIK is rare, it can occur.
Reduced night vision: In some cases, patients may experience reduced night vision after surgery.

What causes corneal ulcers?

What causes corneal ulcers?

A corneal ulcer typically occurs due to an infection in the corneal tissue. However, other conditions such as severe dry eye can also lead to the formation of a corneal ulcer. It's important to understand that healing from this condition may take several weeks or even months. Please be patient and follow your doctor's treatment plan closely.

That's why it's important to prevent it, and if it does happen, to diagnose and treat it quickly. Endophthalmitis is a serious condition that can lead to vision loss if not treated promptly. If you experience any symptoms of endophthalmitis, seek medical attention immediately.

Glaucoma: Early Detection, Lifelong Vision
World Glaucoma Week

Glaucoma: Early Detection, Lifelong Vision

The primary cause of glaucoma is increased pressure inside the eye. This pressure, known as intraocular pressure, damages the optic nerve. One of the most insidious aspects of glaucoma is that it often progresses without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. Early detection is crucial in managing glaucoma. While there is no cure for glaucoma, early detection and treatment can significantly slow down or even stop the progression of the disease. Regular eye exams are essential, especially for those at higher risk. Farabi Hospital's ophthalmology department is renowned for delivering cutting-edge treatments and unparalleled care to patients with glaucoma.
