What is Supracor LASIK?

Supracor LASIK is an advanced laser eye surgery designed to treat presbyopia, a common age-related condition that makes it harder to see objects up close. This procedure reshapes the cornea to enhance vision across all distances—near, intermediate, and far. By correcting presbyopia, Supracor LASIK significantly reduces or eliminates the need for reading glasses.

The procedure typically involves:

Using a femtosecond laser to create a thin flap on the cornea.
Reshaping the cornea with an excimer laser to add a multifocal profile, improving focus.
Treating the non-dominant eye for near vision and the dominant eye for distance vision.

FAQs

Who might need Supracor LASIK?

Supracor LASIK is ideal for individuals experiencing age-related vision changes known as presbyopia, which affects the ability to focus on nearby objects. Here’s who might benefit most:

People aged 40 to 55
- Presbyopia typically develops after 40, making this age group the primary candidates.
- Those struggling with near vision tasks like reading, texting, or using a computer can benefit.
Individuals tired of reading glasses
- If you’re frustrated with frequently needing reading glasses for close-up work, Supracor LASIK can reduce or eliminate the need for them.
Professionals and active individuals
- Those with active lifestyles or professions where glasses are inconvenient (e.g., surgeons, athletes, or pilots).
Patients with healthy eyes
- Suitable candidates should have healthy corneas and no significant eye conditions like cataracts or advanced glaucoma.

What are the benefits of Supracor LASIK?

Supracor LASIK offers numerous advantages:

Freedom from reading glasses: Most patients achieve clear vision at all distances without relying on glasses.
Quick procedure: The surgery is minimally invasive and takes only about 10–15 minutes per eye.
Fast recovery: Many patients experience noticeable improvements within a few days.
Long-lasting results: The effects of the procedure can last for many years, providing consistent improvement in vision.

Is Supracor LASIK painful?

No, the procedure is painless. Numbing drops are used to ensure comfort throughout the surgery.

How soon can I return to normal activities?

Most patients can resume everyday activities within 24–48 hours. However, you should avoid strenuous exercise and swimming for a few weeks.

Are there any risks involved?

As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, including dry eyes, glare, or halos. These side effects are usually temporary and subside during recovery.

Will I ever need reading glasses again?

While Supracor LASIK reduces the dependence on glasses, aging-related changes may still require occasional use of glasses later in life.

Can both eyes be treated?

Yes, Supracor LASIK can be performed on both eyes, typically adjusting one for near vision and the other for distance vision.

Why do I have difficulty reading?

The crystalline lens inside the eye is able to change shape enabling objects up close to be placed into focus. At birth, the crystalline lens is like jelly and changes shape very easily. With age the lens gets bigger with added layers, much like a tree-trunk, and as a result becomes harder and more resistant to change. When this fine focus reduces, the point of focus gets further away, and people typically hold objects much far than usual. Those who are short-sighted find they are able to see better up close if they take their glasses off. This condition is called Presbyopia. Those who are farsighted tend to be affected earlier, often in their late thirties.
