Every day, millions of people around the world wake up and reach for their eyeglasses or insert contact lenses before they start their day. Visual correction has become such a routine part of their lives that the idea of living without these aids might seem too farfetched. What if we told you that there is a safe, effective, and virtually pain-free solution that can significantly reduce, and even eliminate, your dependence on glasses and contacts? The answer lies in the innovative procedure known as No Cut LASIK eye surgery. At Belmont Eye Center, we are proud to offer this life-changing solution to our patients.
Traditionally, LASIK surgery involves creating a thin flap on the cornea’s surface using a blade or a femtosecond laser. The flap is then lifted to reshape the underlying corneal tissue with an excimer laser, correcting the refractive error causing vision problems.
No Cut LASIK, also known as Surface Ablation or PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy), eliminates the need for creating a corneal flap. Instead, the outer layer of the cornea (epithelium) is removed, and the underlying tissue is reshaped with a laser. The epithelium naturally regenerates within a few days.
Now, let’s delve into the various benefits of No Cut LASIK surgery that our patients at Belmont Eye Center have been enjoying.
One of the biggest benefits of No Cut LASIK surgery is that it poses minimal risks and complications. As there’s no flap creation, concerns related to flap complications such as irregular healing, dislocation, or infection are eliminated. This makes it an excellent choice for patients who have a high degree of myopia, thin corneas, or active lifestyles.
No Cut LASIK has demonstrated excellent visual results. The process allows the surgeon to conserve more corneal tissue, which often leads to sharper and more stable postoperative vision. Many of our patients report significant improvements in their vision quality, even surpassing their previous best corrected vision with glasses or contacts.
While some patients might experience mild discomfort during the healing process, overall, No Cut LASIK provides a comfortable experience. The use of advanced cooling and numbing solutions minimizes the discomfort during the procedure, and pain can be effectively managed post-surgery with prescribed medication.
Recovery after No Cut LASIK surgery is generally quick. The outer epithelial layer starts to heal within a few days after the procedure, and many patients begin to notice vision improvements within a week. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a couple of days post-surgery.
