A. Lasik eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and Lasik surgery in India by a company called Indian Health Guru Consultants. The Price for dental and Lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.
Indian Health Guru Consultants is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, Lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.
They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

Which procedure is better, PRK or LASIK?
Q. I'm looking at getting LASIK in the next couple of weeks but have been told that PRK is the way to go because it lasts longer. Which procedure is better? What are the pros and cons of both?
Thanks for the help!
Thanks for the help!
A. * Patients prefer the LASIK procedure because of the rapid vision recovery and minimal postoperative care.
* Many doctors agree that patients with high amounts of nearsightedness should have LASIK. For patients with lower to moderate amounts of nearsightedness, either process may be appropriate.
* PRK does not involve a knife, microkeratome, or cutting laser as used in LASIK, but there may be more pain and slower visual recovery.
LASIK (Laser-Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratectomy)
Requires the surgeon to use a surgical instrument called a microkeratome to create a corneal flap. A portion of the flap remains attached to the eye (as a hinge) while the remainder is gently lifted up and back exposing the inner cornea. The cool beam laser then resculpts the cornea and the flap is returned to its original position.
No stitches are required as the flap stays in place by the natural pressure of your eyes.
Eye drop medication is used for up to one week and the patient typically can resume normal activities with three days. Most of the healing process takes place within a week, however, it may take from 1 to 3 months for your vision to fully stabilize.
Many LASIK patients experience only 5-6 hours of discomfort as the surface (epithelial) layer heals. A non-prescription pain reliever such as acetaminophen, ASA, etc. can be taken to ease your discomfort.
The disadvantage of LASIK is that it requires an additional surgical step, the creation of the flap. This creation is painless and takes less than a minute to complete. However, difficulties can occur with the flap and this occurs about 1% of the time. These complications can be treated often by lifting or repositioning the flap. Improper creation of the flap could result in the need for further surgery.
PRK (Photorefractive keratectomy)
Involves removal of the top surface level of the cornea called the epithelium. This exposes the inner cornea which the computer assisted laser will begin to resculpt the curvature of the eye.
No needles or incisions are required.
Eye medications are used and clear contact lenses are placed on each eye to prevent infection. These lenses are removed within 2-5 days after surgery. The surface (epithelial) layer will begin to regenerate itself and the whole healing process will take up to 3-4 months. During that time eye medications will be used to promote healing and prevent infections.
PRK patients usually take pain relief medication for about 1-2 days postoperatively. This is due to the fact that most of the pain fibers in the cornea are located in the surface portion and with PRK these are affected during surgery and the healing process.
With PRK there is a small risk of problems arising from an irregular healing response and/or infection. These can generally be treated with medications.
So I personally think LASIK is better
P.S. When considering Lasik, you want the very best for your eyes. Dr William Boothe is not only the most experienced intralasik surgeon, but he has been awarded 'Best Lasik Surgeon' in Dallas multiple times from D Magazine. Dr Boothe continues to provide experienced and quality lasik in Dallas because at Boothe Eye Care & Laser Center, the patient is number one. http://www.boothelasercenter.com/

Good Eye Surgeon in Dallas Fort Worth, Texas? P-IOL Phakic lens?
Q. I'm looking for a good reliable surgeon in North Texas who has P-IOL / Phakic lens operation experience. And/or a surgeon who has lots of experience with Lasik AND cataract surgery that's close to the DFW area.

Thanks

A. I don't know if he has P-IOL / Phakic lens operation experience. You can call and ask. I do know he has gotten awards for his ability.
I've had cataract surgery in both eyes and am very happy with the results. I used Dr Keehn in Garland. He took about 17 minutes per eye. He likes to wait a few weeks between eyes, but did mine sooner since the first eye was 20-20 and the one not operated on was 20-200 and I was having trouble sorting out the different apparent sizes of the objects I was looking at. (The eye that had the corrective lens looked smaller than the uncorrected one.) I have been back and had questions and some extra checkups on the second eye that he did. Didn't charge for the extra sessions with him. He always stops and sees you even if it is a regular checkup where he is not needed.
