Ever squinted at your phone after a long day and thought you wished you had 20/20 vision now? 🤓 Well, AI is stepping in to help! This year, eye clinics across South Asia and Southeast Asia have started using artificial intelligence to supercharge LASIK, the popular laser surgery that corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.
Here is how AI is leveling up LASIK:
- Real-time cornea mapping: Smart algorithms build a 3D map of your eye in seconds, so the laser knows exactly where to zap. Think of it like using Google Maps—but for your cornea! 🗺️
- Personalized laser adjustments: Instead of one-size-fits-all, AI customizes each pulse based on your unique eye shape and blink patterns. It is like a tailored suit, but for your vision. 👓
- Speed and safety: With AI monitoring the procedure, extreme precision means less time under the laser and fewer risks. Faster cuts and faster recoveries—win-win! ⏱️✔️
Clinics in cities from Bengaluru to Bangkok report shorter wait times and clearer vision outcomes. And for fellow gamers and bingers on TikTok, say goodbye to screen-induced eye strain and hello to sharper visuals!
Of course, AI does not replace skilled surgeons—it is a high-tech sidekick, making their job smoother and boosting patient confidence. If you are considering LASIK this season, ask your doctor about AI-enhanced options. Your future self (and future selfies 😜) will thank you!
