Lasik Eye Costs 2024: Information, Comparisons and Costs
How much does LASIK eye cost in 2024?
The cost of eye LASIK surgery in Indonesia ranges from IDR 10.000.000 to IDR 25.000.000/ eye. Some of these costs include consulting services for doctors and medicines, some do not.
LASIK surgery is a surgical procedure that aims to change the shape of the cornea of the eye to improve vision.
Currently, the newest methods most often used are ReLEx Smile and FemtoLASIK which provide more comfort to patients, such as a high degree of precision, shorter operating time, and faster postoperative recovery time.
On the other hand, there is also an old method for correcting myopic eyes, namely Photo Refractive Keratectomy (PRK) which also uses a laser in the process. However, postoperative PRK recovery takes longer than LASIK, recovery time from 1 to 3 months, compared to the LASIK procedure which is only less than a month.
LASIK surgery is an operation performed with the aim of correcting refractive errors in the eye to reduce dependence on glasses and contact lenses for a higher quality of life.

By using the Femtosecond laser, it can replace the function of a scalpel to cut the flap as in the Lasik microkeratome method. So that it can make patients feel more comfortable by seeing that no knife is used in their eyes. In addition, the advantage is that the thickness of the corneal flap is also more predictable, reducing the risk of corneal injury during surgery and a lower risk. In some cases, a femtosecond laser also makes it possible to create a thinner corneal flap to safely correct higher numbers of nearsightedness.
The FemtoLASIK procedure takes a total of 10-15 minutes using the MEL-80 machine.
1. In the first step, the Femtosecond Laser creates a flap / opening in the cornea area.
2. In the second step, the flap is opened and a laser process using an excimer laser is carried out on the surface of the cornea that has been opened.
3.And when finished, the flap will be returned to its original position.
The side effects of the FemtoLASIK Method will vary from person to person and in general, include dry eyes, feeling of lumps, and glare after surgery. However, this is temporary and will disappear over time.
The cost of eye lasik in 2024 using the FemtoLASIK method at Ciputra SMG Eye Clinic is IDR 14,000,000 / eye.

Compared to FemtoLASIK, the ReLEx® SMILE method is the newest LASIK surgery method which does not require opening / flapping the cornea.
The ReLEx® SMILE method only takes a total of 10 minutes with a laser process for only 24 seconds / eye. The incision in the cornea is only 2-4 mm in size, to keep the corneal structure stable. Not only that, the risks, and symptoms of dry eye after surgery are small with the application of this method.
There are three stages to the ReLEx® SMILE procedure:
1. Lenticule making. Visumax’s Femtosecond Laser will make lenticeles, which are a thin layer of corneal tissue and a 2-4mm incision on the side of the cornea.
2. Take out the lenticule. The lenticule will be removed through an incision / small cut that has been made on the side of the cornea
3. Refraction negligence correction. By removing the lenticule, it changes the shape of the cornea and the path of light entering the eye so that it can restore visual vision.
Side effects after surgery for each person will also vary, but in general, patients feel foggy eyes, glare in the first 4-6 hours. Please note, this is perfectly normal and will over time

What Are The Best Vitamins For Eye Health?
What Are The Best Vitamins For your Eye?
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”9377″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Hello Happy Eyes People!Your eyes are complex organs that need lots of vitamins to function properly. Certain vitamins are essential for maintaining good eye health. Many are powerful antioxidants that protect the eyes and other parts of the body from oxidative damage and inflammation.
Deficiencies in particular vitamins can increase the risk of some eye conditions, such as cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Research shows that some vitamin and mineral supplements can help protect against or slow the progression of the condition.
In this article, we outline four vitamins that are essential for good eye health, as well as a list of various vitamins from food sources. Let us see together!
4 vitamins that contribute to eye health
People who want to protect their eye health should consume adequate amounts of the vitamins in their diet.
1. Vitamin A
Vitamin A is essential for good vision. It is a component of the protein Rhodopsin which allows to eye to see in low light conditions.
Vitamin A also supports the function of the cornea, which is the protective outer layer of the eye. A person who is deficient in vitamin a may find that their eyes produce too little moisture to stay lubricated.
2. Vitamin E
Alpha tocopherol is a form of vitamin E that has particularly powerful antioxidant properties. Antioxidants help fight free radicals, which can damage tissues throughout the body. Sometimes, free radicals may damage proteins within the eye. This damage can result in the development of cloudy areas called cataracts.
A 2014 review looked at studies linking vitamin E to the prevention of cataracts. Some of the research found that lens clarity was better in people who took Vitamin E supplements.
3. Vitamin C
Vitamin C is another powerful antioxidant that helps protects against oxidative damage. Oxidative damage is a key factor in two of the most common age-related cataracts. Cortical cataracts develop on the edges of the lens, while nuclear cataracts occur deep in its center or nucleus.
4. B Vitamins
A 2009 study suggest that daily supplementation with a combination of vitamins B-6, B-9, and B-12 may reduce the risk of AMD. AMD is a degenerative eye disease that effects the vision.
However, this particular study only includes women. Therefore, more research is needed to support the use of B vitamins in preventing AMD in both women and men.
An older study looked at nutrient intake and eye health in 2,900 people between the ages of 49 and 97 years. The findings revealed that higher intakes of protein, vitamin A, and the B-vitamins riboflavin, thiamine, and niacin had an association with a lower rate of nuclear cataracts.
Food sources of this vitamin
A healthy, balanced diet containing the following foods can provide enough vitamins and nutrients to promote eye health. Research suggests that these nutrients work together to protect the eye, so eating a wide variety of healthy foods is the best approach and way to keep your eyes healthy.
