Outcome Of A 100 Micro Keratome Assisted Lasik Surgeries In A Government Hospital In Urban Mumbai

This study examines outcomes from 100 LASIK procedures conducted at a tertiary eye care center, aiming to assess efficacy, safety, and patient satisfaction.

This study delves into the meticulous analysis of outcomes stemming from 100 LASIK procedures performed within a distinguished tertiary eye care center. 

The primary objective of this research is to comprehensively evaluate the efficacy, safety, and patient satisfaction associated with LASIK surgery, shedding light on its real-world application in a clinical setting. Through a rigorous methodology involving pre-operative assessments, that is analysis of visual acuity improvement, complications, patient satisfaction surveys, precise surgical techniques, and post-operative follow-ups, the study meticulously examines the visual outcomes achieved in the sample. Through detailed surveys and interviews, patient satisfaction, exploring factors influencing their perception of the procedure were determined

Data Collection: Pre-operative assessments, surgery details, post-operative follow-ups.

Visual Acuity: Significant improvement observed in the majority of patients, that is 96% of the results were a visual acuity of 6/6, 3% were 6/9 and 1% was 6/12.

Complications: Low incidence, emphasizing surgeon expertise and technology. One patient had free flap intraoperatively, which was managed and patient resulted in a visual acuity of 6/6. 5% procedure caused mild dry eyes associated complaints on post op day 1 and 2.

Patient Satisfaction: High levels reported, influenced by personalized care and communication

Study demonstrates the efficacy of LASIK in a tertiary clinical setting. Positive visual outcomes and high patient satisfaction underline LASIK's effectiveness. Low complication rates highlight the importance of skilled surgeons and advanced technology. Findings reveal a remarkable enhancement in visual acuity for the majority of patients, underscoring the procedure's effectiveness in correcting refractive errors. Furthermore, the research scrutinizes the incidence of post-operative complications in ensuring the safety and well-being of patients undergoing LASIK. Beyond clinical parameters, this study delves into the qualitative aspects of patient experiences.
