LENTICULAR EXTRACTION

What is Lenticular Extraction?

Corneal Lenticular Extraction, is a cutting-edge refractive eye surgery technique that offers a minimally invasive and highly precise approach to improving your vision. In this procedure, an inner portion of your cornea is extracted and removed to correct your myopia and/astigmatism.

Lenticular Extraction: How It Works

Benefits of SMILE Laser Eye Surgery

Lenticular extraction is revolutionizing the world of refractive vision correction with its innovative approach. Unlike traditional procedures like LASIK, lenticular extraction doesn’t require the creation of a corneal flap. Instead, it utilizes advanced femtosecond laser technology to create precise cuts within the cornea and remove a microscopic amount of tissue from within the cornea. This reshapes the cornea, addressing the root cause of your vision problems.

One of the standout advantages of lenticular extraction surgery is its minimally invasive nature. Since there is less manipulation of the corneal nerves, lenticular extraction patients experience less dry eye symptoms when compared with LASIK patients. Furthermore, lenticular extraction eliminates the risk of possible flap complications that are can be seen in LASIK procedures.

Lenticular extraction is effective in treating myopia and astigmatism, providing predictable and stable results. Many patients report significant improvements in their vision, reducing or eliminating their dependence on glasses or contact lenses. The procedure itself is quick, usually taking just a few minutes per eye, and patients can often return to their daily activities shortly after.

Less Discomfort and Dry Eyes

Lenticular extraction typically causes less post-operative discomfort and dry eye, making it a preferred option for those concerned about pain, discomfort, or dry eye during recovery.

Quick Recovery

Patients often experience a relatively quick and comfortable recovery after lenticular extraction, with reduced discomfort and a lower chance of dry eyes compared to LASIK.

Minimally Invasive

Lenticular extraction is minimally invasive compared to other refractive surgeries. It eliminates the possibility of flap related complications when compared with LASIK.

FAQ

What is laser eye surgery?

Laser eye surgery, also known as refractive surgery, is a procedure that uses a laser to reshape the cornea (the clear front part of the eye) in order to correct common vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. During the procedure, a laser is used to remove a small amount of tissue from the cornea, thereby altering its shape. By reshaping the cornea, the laser helps to correct the way light enters the eye, improving vision.

Is laser eye surgery painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during laser eye surgery. Anaesthetic eye drops are used to numb the eye, and some patients may feel slight pressure or a sensation of an instrument near the eye. After the procedure, there may be some mild discomfort or dryness, but this can typically be managed with eye drops and subsides within a few days.

What are the potential risks and complications of laser eye surgery?

While laser eye surgery is generally considered safe, like any surgical procedure, it carries some risks. Possible complications include dry eyes, glare or halos around lights, fluctuating vision, overcorrection or undercorrection of vision, infection, and vision loss (rare). It’s important to discuss these risks with your eye care professional.

How long does it take to recover from laser eye surgery?

The recovery time varies depending on the type of procedure performed. With LASIK, most people experience improved vision within a day or two and can resume normal activities within a week. PRK may require a longer recovery period, with vision gradually improving over several weeks. Your eye care professional will provide specific instructions for your recovery.
