Eye Surgery
Laser Eye Surgery
LASIK or laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis is the most advanced method of laser eye surgery. It is a safe and exact procedure which causes no pain and is quick, a few minutes at the most. The whole procedure takes 15 minutes, making it an outpatient procedure.
Laser eye surgery using LASIK is executed inside the inner layers of the cornea, allowing for a pain free surgery, and minimal adverse events. The healing time is short and improvement in eye sight is seen almost immediately.
Since Laser eye surgery can cause the feeling of pressure in the eye, Israeli medical centers provide the patient with both local and systemic tranquillizers that help relieve the feeling of pressure.
Eyelid Surgery or Eye Lift
Eyelid surgery or eye lift, is a surgical procedure that takes between one to three hours, depending on whether one or both eyelids will be operated on.
Since eyelid surgery is a procedure where incisions are made on the eyelids, it is important to have as little scarring as possible, therefore requiring an experienced plastic surgeon to perform the operation.
Returning to normal activity can be done after as little as one or two weeks. Sports can be reinitiated after about three weeks.
Don’t forget to wear sunglasses during your recovery process since after eyelid surgery your eyes are more sensitive to sunlight. After an eye lift, it is recommended to put sunscreen on your eyelids.
Laser Eye Surgery Cost
Laser eye surgery costs vary from country to country, ranging from as low as USD600 and up to USD5000 in the United Kingdom (UK). In most countries you will end up paying around USD2000. The price includes hospital and doctors’ fees. Israel’s laser eye surgery costs are 70% less than in the UK, meaning total savings of about USD3500. You could have both eyes operated on and still have not reached the USD5000 “price tag” of the UK!
Corrective Eye Surgery
Corrective eye surgery is done in order to refocus images on the retina. This is done by reshaping the retina, and with today’s advancements in technology and research, the laser techniques used, reshape the cornea without hurting the surrounding cells.
Cataract Eye Surgery
In past times, cataract eye surgery was made only when eye vision was very poor. Now days, cataract eye surgery is performed as soon as vision deterioration starts to interfere with everyday activities. Early cataract eye surgery makes the operation technically easier and therefore is more recommended.
Israeli medical centers use the most modern microsurgical techniques which do not require stitches, therefore faster recovery.
The latest technique used today for cataract eye surgery is called Phacoemulsification. Clinical research in Israel has shown that the rate of complications during Phacoemulsification surgery in Israel is comparable to control groups. This has lead to the conclusion that cataract eye surgery, when done by experienced eye surgeons, is the best option for minimizing complications. Israeli surgeons have vast experience in the field and together with the best technology available, intra and post operative complications are reduced to a minimum, and success rates are as high as 95%.
Cosmetic Eye Surgery
Cosmetic eye surgery comprises a group of surgical procedures such as: eye lift, repair of ptosis and symblepharon, management of dry eye and clogged lacrimal system, and so on.
Israeli cosmetic eye surgery comprises new techniques performed by highly competent plastic surgeons and ophthalmologists, depending on the procedure. These modern techniques have shown great results on the patients treated.
Cosmetic eye surgery requires choosing a surgeon that has thorough knowledge on the anatomy of the eyes and surrounding areas. It is also important to choose centers that have the most advanced laser technology supported by extensive research.
