The Visual System
Many people think that vision is all about the eyes. But vision is actually an extremely complex phenomenon involving in the front eye, the tear film, followed by the cornea (the clear window of the eye), the aqueous (internal fluid), lens, vitreous (internal jelly), retina (sensitive layer at the back of the eye) optic nerve and the visual cortex (part of the brain used for processing vision).
In order to maximise vision and visual quality, we cannot confine ourselves to just reshaping the cornea as in present day LASIK.
We have to maintain and enhance the delicate tear film.
We have to reshape the cornea under the thinnest uniplanar cornea flap.
We change the cornea into a "perfect shape" to focus all rays of light from any direction to a single and precise focal point on the retina. The image on the retina is then converted to a neuronal signal which is processed in the visual cortex of the brain.
We now optimise vision further by training the brain to see clearer and sharper.
The Tear Film
By supplementing the natural tears with lubricating eyedrops and inducing the production of natural tears with medicated eyedrops, the window to the eye is kept clear of debri and mucus. The glossy and wet cornea transmits the maximum amount of light through the LASIK flap.
The LASIK Flap
The delicate LASIK flap must be made as thin as possible, drapping evenly over the reshaped cornea. This will help focus every ray of light onto the centre of the retina (macula).
Advanced Customised LASIK
Using advanced customised software technology (PerfectShape™ LASIK) to reshape the eye gives patients superior corneal contours, resulting in best possible day and night vision.
In the mid 1900's neurophysiologists started investigating the brain and how it receives images in electrical pulses producing the wonderful image that we see. Without the brain the Mona Lisa will just look like patches of brown, beige and black. But with the brain, it makes us see the Mona Lisa as a masterpiece of a mysterious woman with a wry smile!

The Brain in Vision
The brain controls every aspect of our bodily functions, without the brain our eyes will see images without meaning. The visual cortex of the brain interprets images, refines it, improves it and gives meaning to it.In the mid 1900's neurophysiologists started investigating the brain and how it receives images in electrical pulses producing the wonderful image that we see.
