Lasik MD, through McGill Medicine Class of 2012, is auctioning off a Laser Vision Correction Surgery valued at $3500.
The auction will end on November 18, 2009 at 9pm.
The Surgery is for Custom LASIK or PRK:
LASIK MD Laser Eye Surgery – LASIK Vision Correction
LASIK
vision correction is one of the most popular elective procedures in
North America and the safest in the world. Over 10 million people have
undergone LASIK laser eye surgery in North America over the last 20
years! People are choosing LASIK laser vision correction to reduce
their dependency on glasses and contacts and regain an active
lifestyle. Learn more about the history of LASIK.
This safe and
painless procedure generally takes 10 minutes of operating room time,
during which the laser is used for less than one minute on each eye.
LASIK laser eye surgery can be used to correct nearsightedness
(myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism.
The LASIK
vision correction procedure involves the creation of a thin flap of
corneal tissue with a precise flap-making instrument. This flap is
raised and laid back but still attached to the cornea, in preparation
for the actual laser vision correction procedure.
For the next
part of the procedure, the surgeon will perform one of two laser vision
correction techniques: Standard LASIK, or; Advanced Custom Wavefront
LASIK.
LASIK MD Laser Eye Surgery – PRK Vision Correction
PRK
is a form of laser vision correction in which a laser eye surgeon
removes the surface layer of the cornea (called the epithelium) and
then reshapes the corneal bed with the laser in the same way as LASIK
vision correction. This technique is usually used for people whose
cornea may be too thin to safely allow for the creation of the corneal
flap required for LASIK.
The procedure is used to correct nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism.
What is the Difference between PRK and LASIK vision correction? LASIK
eye surgery involves creating a corneal flap and then restoring it
after laser treatment. With PRK, there is no flap creation. The surgeon
simply removes the outermost skin of the cornea called the epithelium,
and then uses the laser to reshape the cornea in the same way as LASIK.
This epithelial layer of skin that is removed takes three (3) to five
(5) days to grow back. During this time the eyes are protected with
contact lenses. There is a slightly longer healing period with PRK.
Why Do Some People Need and Choose PRK? PRK
may be used if your eye surgeon finds that you have
thinner-than-average corneas, and there is not enough room to fit a
LASIK flap. “Soft” corneas have a greater chance to bend out of shape
and are also not suitable for a LASIK flap. Therefore, PRK is the
alternative. Rarely, someone may also choose PRK if their profession
causes them to be at much greater risk of getting hit in the eye and
causing flap movement (e.g. boxers, martial arts where blows to the
face occur, wrestlers).
What are the Results of PRK Compared to LASIK? The
visual outcome is the same whether LASIK or PRK vision correction is
performed. Both procedures are also equally safe. The only difference
is that the healing time and the number of post-surgery visits with PRK.
