Our Equipments Details
  
1. Phacoenlusification Machine (Torsional Phaco- OZIL Infiti – Alcon USA)

What is the Phcoemulsification (Sutureless surgery)

  • :- Emulsification of the lens (cataract)inside the eye. Old methods required large incision of 10 -12mm. Phacoemulsification required only 2-3-5mm incision.
  • :- Nucleus (cataract)is removed by fragmenting in to small pieces, which aspiration on.
  • :- Can be performed under Topical anaesthesia.
   
2. Excimer Laser
  1. LASIK- laser in situ keratomilusis
    Lasik is the most accepted surgical procedure to correct
    Myopia upto -14.ooD
    Hyperopia upto +4.ooD
    Astigmatism upto +/- 5.0D
    Reading glasses(presbyopic lasik)

INSTRUMENTS
  • (1) laser machine

Laser machine with rotational eye tracker and online torsional   error detection 
 
   

(2) microkeratome
Microkeratome for to create the corneal flap
   

Patient selection
*patient must be over 18 years of age
*refraction must be stable for a year
*patient should not be pregnant or lactating
*Range of correction should be
Myopia   -1.0 to -10.0D
Hyperopia +1.0 to +6.0D
Astigmatism 1.0 to 6.0D
The Technique – Corneal  wavefront  guided  ( c- lasik)
 
Aneasthesia – Topical (only putting drops) anesthesia is the choice.
Procedure – the suction ring is fixed. By pressing the foot pedal the microkeratome makes forward pass to cut a corneal flap. The stromal bed is ablated with excimer laser to achieve the desired correction. The flap is reposed .the patient is allowed to blink normally.

   


Postoperative treatment Local antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye drops are used over a period of two to three weeks. Follow-up This is done on the first post-op day and then after a month with instruction that in case of pain or sudden blurring of vision the patient must immediately report to doctor.

  • :- the patient can return to his/her routine activities the day after the operation
    :- No touching or rubbing the eye for two weeks
    :- No swimming for one month
  

 
3. Topography(Nidek- Japan )
-To detect the Corneal Abnormalities like Keretoconus, Hish Asligmatism and Early Keretoconus
   
4. Pachmetry
-To measure the corneal thickness
-Glancoma diagnosis
   
5. Specular microscope (Topocon japan)
-To count the endothelial cell
-To Detect the endothelial abnormalities.
   
6. Fundus Camera
Fundus Photography
Fluoresein Angiography
   
7. Diode Green Laser (Iridix)
Diabetic Retinopathy
Hypertensive Retinopathy
Macular edema
Central Serous Retinopathy
Retinal hole
   
8. OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)
CME (Cystoid Macular Edema)
CSME (Clinically Significant Macular Edema)
Photo PIC Maculopathy
CSR (Central Serous Retinopathx)
ARMD (Age Related Macular Degeneration)
   
9. Note: Shortly we are going to add laser machine for presbyotric Correction (Number for near like reading)
