Presbyopia is now available in the Mumbai city:
There is a new vision correction procedure available in the city, offering what is called ‘conductive Keratoplasty’ (CK) for the treatment of presbyopia and Dr. Himanshu Mehta, Ophthalmologist and vitreo retinal surgeon is the only one in the city that offers this kind of treatment. We have been offering blade free Lasik eye surgery Mumbai for four mounts now, yet people are skeptical. Their needs to be awareness about it, especially since it is considered the safest bet that has no negative effects and failure is zero,’ said Dr. Himashu Mehta.
Dr. Himanshu Mehta who consults at Lilavati hospital and Nanavati Hospital has his own eye center only. “Unlike in Blade free Lasik eye surgery, here the treatment is done by a radio frequency wave; no laser is used making it the safest treatment. It takes a mere 15 – 20 minutes and requires no stay. The patient is sent home immediately and is permitted to travel after two days of being treated; he explained.
How CK Works…
Dr. Himanshu Mehta said usually occurs to people when they cross 40 years of age, our eyes lose their ability to focus on near points. Simple day-to-day things like reading, looking on a computer become difficult. Besides reading glasses, Blade free Lasik eye surgery treatment is only available to correct presbyopia.
Although this treatment as been in use for the past two years in the United States, it is yet to be established here. Dr. Mehta says a lot of foreigners have operated for this treatment. ‘for one thing, they are a braver lot who are more aware of the developments in medicine and secondly they do a lot of research before opting for any kind of treatment. Also India is now the preferred medical destination, because of the low cost and the post -operative care available.
On another note, Dr. Himanshu Mehta says that people need to go beyond their friendly neighborhood optician for their eyes. “The optician gives you a number test, not an eye test. And the ones that say free computerized eye testing’ are the ones you should stay far away from. Now almost every kind of eye problem can be corrected, even a squint and people must realize that a visit to an ophthalmologist is important, especially if you are looking for the right Blade free Lasik surgery treatment,” He said.
