Can we get back spectacle power after LASIK surgery?

LASIK Eye Surgery is the process that uses laser technology to treat various vision problems which are caused by refractive defects in the eye. When your eye fails to bend light correctly, it creates a refractive error, which blurs your vision. For instance, it may result in blurred vision, nearsightedness, or longsightedness. At IKSHA, we have the best LASIK Surgeons in Mumbai for all types of refractive errors.

Following are a few refractive errors that are treated by LASIK surgery

Astigmatism

When some parts of your eye are more curved than they should be, it results in blurry vision. Patients with astigmatism have blurry vision for both close and distant objects.

It is common for astigmatism to be present from birth and to coexist with either nearsightedness or farsightedness.

Nearsightedness

In this condition, one’s eyeballs grow too long from front to back. It is a condition where one can see objects clearly that are nearby but not far away. Nearsightedness is also known as myopia. Between the ages of 20 and 40, nearsightedness often becomes more stable after developing during infancy and adolescence. Myopia typically runs in families.

Farsightedness

Here the eyeball is smaller in size as compared to normal eyes, causing one to view objects in the distance clearly but nearby objects to become blurry for the person. It is also known as hyperopia. The tendency to be farsighted is typically present at birth and runs in families. It is straightforward to cure this condition using eyeglasses or contact lenses. Surgery is another remedy.

But can anyone get a spectacle after having LASIK Surgery?

The majority of people who get LASIK have lasting results. However, a tiny percentage of people could have visual blurring in the future as a result of some new eye power. Either modest regression or the eye’s normal aging processes are to blame for this. Many people who have LASIK and experience some change in eye power are unaffected by the change and do not feel the need for additional vision correction. Others choose to wear numbered spectacles only during specific activities (night driving), while a few others undergo enhancement surgery, which is essentially a touch-up LASIK treatment.
