City Guide. News. With the New Sunday Express
Here's good news for those who want to get rid of their spectacles and lenses. The Mahaveer Eye Hospital (MEH) will install the worlds fastest and the most accurate laser machine, Wave-front guided 400 Hz Allegretto Wave Eye-Q at the hospital premises.
The machine is completely automated. The images of the cornea are passed on to the computer and then to the laser machine. The laser beams fall softly on the eye, correcting the refractive error.
And before the patient realizes, the procedure is over. This has been accepted by over 10 million people across the globe who underwent LASIK and got rid of their glasses and contact lenses. Dr. Narpat Solanki, chief surgeon and medical director, MEH, said the new machine will help one get rid of refractive error.
“Being the fastest technology available to date, not only the rate of accuracy goes up, but there is less drying of the eyes too. The Wave-front Guided 400 Hz Allegretto Wave Eye-Q allows the doctors to offer patients a treatment customized to individual need,” he said.

The Bangalore Age
New type of eye treatment
Our Special Correspondent
Bangalore Oct, 12:
A 400 Hz high capacity laser machine that can help doctors to treat patients with complaints of short sight, long sight and astigmatism was inaugurated Mahaveer Eye Hospital on Wednesday. The laser assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is a relatively new type of treatment which can enable people to do away with contact lenses.
Explaining the features of the machine, the chief eye surgeon and medical director, Dr Narpat Solanki, said that the machine is superior to all other conventional lasert technologies as it helps doctors carry to carry out treatment for each eye separately.
The computer aided technology ensures the treatment for each eye separately. The computer aided technology ensures the treatment is precise and reliable. This treatment can help them to permanently do without contact lenses.
On the technical capability, he said that compared to the 100 Hz capacity laser machines which are in use in the city, this machine would help doctors to reshape the cornea within minutes. “This is a more advanced machine,” he added.
Explaining the methodology used to operate the eye with the help of this machine, he explained, “First using an instrument called microkeratome, the surgeon creates a small flap protective flap of cornea tissue that is partly lifted. In the second step, the laser beam gently reshapes the cornea which helps the retina to focus more sharply on the images. Finally, the protective flap that was created earlier is put back to its original position.”
According to him, this technique will cause no discomfort. He indicated that the hospital could offer this treatment at Rs. 30,000 for both eyes.
