ZYOPTIX LASIK
Zyoptix LASIK is developed by Bausch and Lomb which is one of the new innovations in laser eye treatment. In Zyoptix surgery the surgeon plans to give the treatment that is best for your eyes.
Zyoptix surgery can also treat those who earlier did not fit for laser eye surgery.
How does Zyoptix LASIK surgery work?
Zyoptix work on the basic fundamental of LASIK surgery and uses Wavefront LASIK technology. There are two steps of LASIK surgery. Firstly the cut is made in the cornea, so the flap is pulled back and the second step involves reshaping of the underlying corneal tissue.
In the past to reshape the corneal tissue old devices were used but in Zyoptix LASIK revolutionize this diagnostic technology. By using an Orbscan machine the shape of your cornea is measured at 9,000 different points.
In the second step it measures the eye scatters light in unique way that is done with a Zywave Aberrometer machine. Wavefront technology is used to pick up tiny vision problems that cannot be detected earlier. This Wavefront technology helps surgeon to treat problems like halos, glares, and starbursts. The night driving vision is better with Zyoptix compared with traditional LASIK surgery.
In laser eye surgery process Zyoptix surgery brings major advancement. The combination of large and small lasers is used to correct small aberrations. Having more advanced Zyoptix laser software, it can detect whether your eye moves during surgery and those movements ensure the correct reshaping of the cornea.
After Zyoptix surgery antibiotic drops is prescribe by the doctors to prevent infection and the vision is generally a bit blurry and light-sensitive for the first day. Within few days the vision will become clear and you will have to visit the doctors up to three months during the healing process.
Who is suitable for Zyoptix surgery?
Short sighted, long sighted or astigmatism can be treated by Zyoptix laser eye surgery. Usually the doctor will require that you have two years of stable vision before the operation so your surgeon should contact your general practitioner about these issues.
More and more patients prefer this Zyoptix process. In this process less corneal tissue is removed in reshaping process and is best for those with thin corneas. The Zyoptix system measures the pupils and those who have large pupils can also choose it.
The true advancement of Zyoptix is personalization. This new technology helps the system to account for the individual imperfections of your eye, rather than a one size fits all approach. This helps to give good results and cure small problems like halos, or especially night vision problems so the combination of technology and personalization gives good results for improving your eyesight.
The LASIK surgery also includes EpiLASIK surgery that works on the epithelium layer of the cornea and IntraLASIK surgery which uses a laser to make the initial corneal flap.
