TSA - Pros And Cons

Touchless surface ablation (TSA) is a relatively new type of vision correction surgery with many benefits over traditional LASIK surgery. TSA is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that uses a femtosecond laser to create a very thin corneal flap. This flap is lifted, and the laser is used to reshape the underlying cornea. The flap is replaced, and no stitches or other sutures are required.


One of the main benefits of TSA over LASIK is that it is much less invasive. There is no need to create a large flap in the cornea as with LASIK, which can lead to complications such as dry eye and flap striae. TSA is a much quicker procedure, often taking less than 10 minutes to complete. It is much shorter than traditional LASIK surgery, which can take up to an hour. TSA also has a much shorter recovery time, with most people being able to resume all normal activities within a day or two. Another benefit of TSA is that it can be used to treat a wider range of vision problems. Unlike LASIK, which is only approved for myopia (nearsightedness), TSA can be used to treat myopia, hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. TSA is a great option for people with more than one vision problem. If you are considering vision correction surgery, ask your doctor about TSA. It may be the best option for you.


While TSA has many benefits, there are also some drawbacks. One of the main drawbacks is that it is a newer technology and is not yet widely available. It means that it may not be an option at your local eye doctor or hospital. Additionally, TSA is a bit more expensive than LASIK, although the cost difference is typically only a few hundred dollars. 


When it comes to finding an eye surgeon in Calgary, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. First and foremost, you must ensure that the surgeon you choose is experienced and qualified. Secondly, you must ensure that the surgeon you choose is affordable. And last but not least, you must ensure that the surgeon you choose is convenient for you.
