LASIK Lab

Dr. R.P. Centre became the first Government Institution to initiate excimer laser surgery in the country. A state of the art laboratory for Excimer Laser refractive surgery was started in December, 1998 with the introduction of Chiron Vision (C-LASIK 217) laser machine. This is a sophisticated microsurgery used to alter the focusing power of the cornea using a laser beam and can be used for treatment of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. The primary aim of the surgery is to make the subject less dependent or free of spectacles. About 725 eyes of 367 patients have been operated till date with excellent visual results.
