Text 
Preparation for LASIK Eye Surgery starts well before the surgery. The doctor should be told about the medical history, medications currently being taken and medications allergic to, if any. The patient before surgery should take the following precautions:  If using soft contact lens, the patient must revert to using glasses for at least two weeks prior to the baseline evaluation. This is to restore the normal shape of the cornea. If using hard contact lens the user should stop using them from 6 weeks prior to the surgery. Usage of creams, lotions or cosmetics on the face and eyes should be avoided a day prior to the surgery.Before accepting LASIK eye surgery, a thorough baseline evaluation of the eye is required by the ophthalmologist (eye doctor). Once the patient's eyes are prepared for surgery a computer and a low wattage laser is used to scan and map the cornea. This information creates a map of the cornea and it helps the computer to determine its exact shape. The surgeon uses this information to calculate the exact amount and depth of corneal tissue to be removed during the operation to get the right shape. |

Posted on: 11/06/2011 Thank you very much for the information. I have undergone lasik once, but, in the experimental stage, so the power is back to -6. I also had laser for bleeding behind the retina. This included Avastin - 3 times. Could I go for lasik to reduce power?
Regards
Sophia

Posted on: 10/31/2011 I am 30 years old and a Software engineer at Bangalore. My power is LE -4 and RE - 8.5 but wearing LE -2.5 and RE - 4.0 with cylindrical due to double vision if it is correct power. I am very comfortable with glasses and dont want to take any unnecessary risk with my eyes. The reason why i prefer to go[if doctors agree so] for lasik is due to severe headache and not able to concentrate while driving with glasses. I will be doing at Netradhama at Bangalore.(most probably Dr. Sri Ganesh). Any advises or recommendations
