Dr. Agarwals Eye Hospital Chembur Introduces Bladeless Laser Corneal Surgery

 

Mumbai: In a significant advancement for refractive eye surgery, "Dr. Agarwals Eye Hospital", in collaboration with 'Aayush Eye Clinic & Lasik Center, Chembur', launched the state-of-the-art "WaveLight FS200 Femtosecond Laser System" on December 17, 2024. This innovative technology is designed for precise and customizable procedures like LASIK, offering a bladeless and minimally invasive solution for vision correction.

The Femtosecond Laser System represents a groundbreaking shift from traditional 'LASIK surgery', which uses a blade-like instrument to cut the cornea mechanically. Instead, the 'WaveLight FS200' employs laser energy to create tiny bubbles at precise depths and locations, resulting in a completely blade-free LASIK experience.

Key benefits of the system include:
Precision and Reliability: Creates a standard 9mm corneal flap in just 6 seconds, making it the fastest flap-creation platform in the world.
Enhanced Safety: Consistent flap thickness with a low standard deviation reduces complications.
Minimized Energy Requirement: Shortens procedure time and ensures better patient outcomes.
Customizability: Tailored treatment for conditions like near-sightedness, far-sightedness, and astigmatism.

Mr. Rahul Agarwal, COO – Hospital Business, Dr. Agarwals Eye Hospital, highlighted the hospital's growing presence in Maharashtra: “With 15 hospitals in Mumbai and 26 hospitals across Maharashtra, we are dedicated to enhancing patient care. The 'WaveLight FS200' doubles our capacity to deliver superior refractive surgery experiences.”

Dr. Nita Shah, Head of Clinical Services, Dr. Agarwals Eye Hospital, Chembur, emphasized the safety and efficiency of the system: “Traditional LASIK surgery involves a mechanical blade, but the femtosecond laser creates a flap using laser-generated bubbles. This ensures a safer, faster, and pain-free procedure with exceptional long-term stability.”

She further added: “The laser’s fast-firing speed reduces energy requirements, enhances flap-lifting ease, and ensures consistent flap thickness—all of which contribute to a superior patient experience”.

With the addition of the 'WaveLight FS200 Femtosecond Laser System', 'Dr. Agarwals Eye Hospital' continues to push boundaries in vision correction technology. This milestone underscores their mission to provide cutting-edge, patient-centric care across India.
