Ophthalmology
Are you considering ophthalmic treatment to correct your vision problems, but unsure where to start?
AKK Healthcare can help facilitate the process for you by connecting you with qualified eye surgeons and surgical centers, making your medical journey a stress-free experience.
Laser Eye Surgery
Laser eye surgery is a safe and effective procedure performed to correct vision problems, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. The procedure typically takes between 10 to 20 minutes per eye and is performed on an outpatient basis.
During the surgery, the surgeon will administer eye drops to numb the eye and use a laser to create a small flap on the cornea. The flap is lifted, and the laser is used to reshape the underlying corneal tissue. Once the cornea is reshaped, the flap is repositioned and left to heal.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery involves the removal of the clouded lens of the eye and replacing it with an artificial lens to restore vision. The procedure typically takes less than an hour and is performed on an outpatient basis.
During the surgery, the surgeon will numb the eye through anesthesia and make a small incision in the cornea. A small probe is then inserted into the eye to break up the cloudy lens, which is then removed through the incision. An artificial lens is then inserted into the eye to replace the natural lens and restore clear vision.
Facilitating the Procedure
At AKK Healthcare, we will help facilitate the process for you by arranging comprehensive eye exams to determine your candidacy for the procedure and identify any potential risks or complications.
