Recently a workshop on creating awareness about laser vision correction by Mumbai based doctors of Shroff Eye Clinic, was conducted in Surat.

According to Dr. Anand Shroff, chief surgeon of Shroff Eye Clinic, wave light technology is the latest technique in correcting refractive corrections of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism using the lasers. The wave front guided LASIK laser vision correction has been very successful in restoring the perfect eye sights, Shroff tells.

Shroff, with over 5,000 laser surgeries to this credit, says that with the launch of the wave light 400Hz Allegretto Wave Eye-Q, people in the country would have access to technology and precision now being available only at very select centres elsewhere in the world.

Already, many from Surat with various eye related ailments, have been successfully treated with this new technique and efforts are on to create awareness about the LASIK laser technology among the locals of South Gujrat and other places, says Dr. Safala Shroff.

Says Kamini Modi (25), resident of Haripura Pirchhara Road in Surat that she had serious eye sight problems and was not able to see correctly.

But, with the help of wave light laser technology recently, she now has perfect vision with no problems.

With the LASIK technique, retina has to be stimulated constantly to bring on the right track for normal eye vision, says Shroff. Kikubhai Chokhawala (73) of Surat recently had his cataract removed through the laser technology and he has no problems in his eye sight, he tells.

The wave front technology is really a marvel in vision correction and the need is to create its awareness among the public for getting back normal sight in the eyes, Shroff informs.
