Dr. Lakshmy is a consultant and refractive surgeon at Maxivision Eye Hospital, TTK Road, Chennai. Her clinical focus includes refractive surgery and laser vision correction for common refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. She follows an individualised approach based on each patient’s refractive error, corneal characteristics, ocular surface health, overall eye condition, and visual needs.
Her clinical practice includes LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis), PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy), and SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction). Depending on clinical suitability and available technology, treatment options may also include femtosecond laser-assisted procedures, wavefront-guided treatments, and topography-guided procedures such as Contoura Vision.
Before treatment, Dr. Lakshmy may use visual acuity testing, refraction, corneal topography or tomography, pachymetry, and ocular surface assessment to evaluate suitability and support treatment planning. When selecting an appropriate approach, Dr Lakshmy considers factors such as corneal shape and thickness, refractive stability, eye health, previous procedures, and individual expectations.
SMILE uses a small corneal incision to remove a precisely created lenticule and does not require creation of a corneal flap. The choice between SMILE, LASIK, PRK, or another procedure depends on the patient’s clinical characteristics and treatment requirements.
Dr. Lakshmy discusses potential benefits, limitations, risks, recovery expectations, and the possible need for corrective eyewear as part of treatment planning. Post-operative care includes appropriate follow-up and monitoring of visual recovery, corneal healing, and ocular surface health.
Dr. Lakshmy provides refractive and laser vision correction care at Maxivision Eye Hospital, TTK Road, Chennai, based on each patient’s individual clinical needs.
