The
No Stitch Cataract Surgery with the
most modern way of removing cataract through the use
of Phacoemulsification procedure can be performed
in India for as little as Rs. 20,000, per eye, whereas
the same surgery costs $ 22,000 in the USA. Facilities
for PRK, myopia and astigmatism are now available
in almost all parts of the country. Hyperopics and
LASIK are available and even supra hard cataracts
are treated using just 1 mm incision instead of the
3 mm incision size. Photorefractive keratectomy or
PRK treats the surface of the cornea with the Excimer
laser while LASIK treats the inner tissue of the cornea.
For this reason, with LASIK there is less area to
heal, less risk of scarring, less risk of corneal
haze, less post-operative pain and vision often returns
very rapidly.

known as "aberrations" (imperfections )

errors & abberrations in the eye.

large beams to deliver a unique treatment for every
