Nidhi Srinivasan* was a management employee trainee in a company located in Nerul, Navi Mumbai. After a long day at work, she started experiencing discomfort and pricking sensation in her right eye. Gradually, it turned red. She was worried that an eye infection she recently suffered hasn’t healed yet and is still showing its symptoms.
Red eyes
Given her work load at workplace, she ignored her eye problems and thought these eye problems will heal on its own. However, much to her shock and worry, these symptoms did not stop even after six months and kept troubling her intermittently. And that is when she decided to consult an eye doctor at the earliest.
Based on her doctor’s recommendation, she presented herself at Advanced Eye Hospital & Institute (AEHI), near Vashi.
On the appointment day, she underwent detailed eye check-up. Her eye power was -5.25 in right eye and -5.50 in the left eye. Her eye pressure was within the normal range between 10-20mm Hg. Further, her fundus was also normal.
CONSULT YOUR EYE DOCTOR
Then, Nidhi was referred to Dr. Vandana Jain, a Cornea, LASIK and Cataract surgeon. Dr Jain examined her eyes and observed that her conjunctiva showed mild papillary reaction in both eyes more in the right eye. She diagnosed her with contact lens induced allergic eye disease.
Contact lens users are at high risk of developing eye allergies and eye infections including keratitis (corneal ulcer). Such individuals are easy target for all kinds of micro-organisms like bacteria, virus, fungi etc especially if proper contact lens related hygiene is not maintained or there is misuse of contact lenses. Hence, it is common to see them catch conjunctivitis. These infections can give rise to eye pain, redness, swelling, light sensitivity, blurry vision, foreign body sensation, burning, itching etc depending on the nature and severity. Very rarely corneal infections can be sight threatening as well.
Dr. Jain then prescribed her few anti-allergic and lubricating eye drops and asked her to follow up after 3 weeks. She further advised her to discontinue wearing contact lenses completely.
On the follow up day, Nidhi informed that she felt huge relief from the symptoms she presented in her earlier visit at AEHI. And so, she expressed that she would like to get rid of contact lens by undergoing LASIK.
And then Nidhi underwent a detailed pre lasik evaluation which included tests like corneal topography, IOL master, contrast sensitivity, muscle balance testing and dry eye analysis. Nidhi heaved a sigh of relief learning that she could opt for any type of LASIK surgery. She discussed about the various LASIK options with Dr. Jain. After being thoroughly convinced, she opted for ReLEx SMILE LASIK.
ReLEx SMILE LASIK is the most advanced and safest type of LASIK (“Laser Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis”) currently available. The recovery period is short and hence one can return to work within a day itself.
ReLEx SMILE LASIK
Relex Smile Lasik is a no flap no blade type of laser eye correction surgery (flapless lasik). In this surgery, tiny hole (2-3 mm) is created by femtolaser in the periphery of the cornea (bladeless lasik). The same laser beam also creates a tiny disc of the corneal tissue. This disc is then removed from the tiny incision, thus changing the form of the cornea and correcting the eye power.
After the procedure, she was relieved to bid goodbye to both of her eye problems – i.e. eye allergy as well as high eye power. During the follow up session, she thanked Dr. Jain and the entire team of AEHI wholeheartedly.
Apart from being flapless and bladeless, SMILE LASIK also does not create flap-related complications and reduces the risk of post-surgery dry eye symptoms.
