Planet Lasik- the one-stop destination for innovative vision correction procedures

By- Prof. Dr. Mahipal S Sachdev, Chairman & Medical Director, Centre for Sigh

As the country has been witnessing a surge in the number of cases of eye defects in the recent past, Centre for Sight has now come up with PLANET LASIK to offer refractive solutions under one single roof. Planet Lasik is considered to be a one-stop destination for innovative vision correction procedures as the hospital is equipped with the latest technology and specialists to perform several specialized eye-care procedures like Lasik, SMILE, ICL, PRK, Femto Lasik, and Contoura Vision. These procedures are seamless and comfortable for the patients while promoting the highest safety, hygiene, and quality standards.

The people who wear glasses or contact lenses often start to resent them due to their dependency on them to see clearly and with the rise in the number of people desiring clear vision without having to depend on these external factors, Lasik or Laser Eye Surgery has gained substantial popularity in recent times.
Lasik Surgery is a safe blade-free and precise procedure performed to correct the refractive error of the patient’s eyes to provide a clear vision of the world without having to use spectacles or contact lenses.

The use of spectacles or contact lenses is considered a temporary solution because in some rare cases, even after the regular use of contact lenses or spectacles for a few years, patients have shown weaker eyesight compared to their previous test.

The most recent advancement in the world of Laser Eye Surgeries is Contoura Vision which not only corrects the power of one’s eyeglass but also corrects the corneal irregularities besides working on Visual Axis which provides sharper visual outcomes for the patients. And while some people aren’t eligible for Lasik Surgery due to cornea irregularities, they can get better results with Contoura Vision eye surgery.

The iLasik Surgery is said to be one of the most successful surgeries done among the surgeries done in any part of the human body because of the low level of risk involved and with the various recent advancements in technology and medical procedures, the recovery time post operative has also decreased significantly.

Laser Eye Surgery is performed with the help of two lasers, one helps to create a smooth flap, and the other one to reshape the corneal bed. After that, it’s just a matter of minutes and the patient is able to see clearly without their spectacles or contact lenses, with the rapid advancements in technology the operative time has also decreased. But the patient needs to avoid rubbing his/her eye for a couple of weeks post-operative because a lot of temptation will be there. The patient sometimes also experiences slight pain or uneasiness, but these symptoms improve in a couple of days.

A recent study observing patient satisfaction after the surgery suggests that the people who have had Lasik surgeries done experience the same (or even better) quality of life as the patients who never wore glasses or had any eye surgeries done and this has stayed the same even after 10-15 years the procedure was performed.

Due to the recent global pandemic, a lot of people had to start working from home which resulted in an increase in their overall screen time. Similarly, the younger or elderly generation had to shift to binge-watching and social media consumption for entertainment purposes because a large group of people started having weaker eyesight.

A person’s eyes become weaker and weaker as they get older which results in the loss of vision but with increased screen time of smartphones and the use of these tech gadgets in the dark, this process happens on a rapid speed because of which more and more people are starting to depend upon spectacles or contact lenses for a clear vision of the world.

Save Now Buy Later platform Multipl launches new category, exclusively for young parents

National, February 23, 2023: To ensure that parents can make smarter choices and save more while spending for their kids, especially for recurring expenses, Multiply – the world’s 1st Invest to Spend app – has launched the Parenting category on the app.

Having a child is a delightful experience. It is also one that comes with a lot of responsibilities – managing finances being one of the primary concerns. Everyone wants their kids to get the best facilities, education, and extracurricular activities so that they grow up to be successful participants in society.

However, financial planning for children remains restricted to age-old financial instruments such as bank savings, fixed deposits, and long-term insurance plans.

These plans and instruments often do not benchmark the rising education and miscellaneous costs and could end up being inadequate the meet expenses when the child grows up. Huge educational loans, families getting deeper into the debt cycle, and similar stories are very familiar.

In fact, the concept of financial planning for anything except college funds is practically non-existent. With annual school fees rising to up to Rs 2 lacs in tier 1 cities, this is a huge expense that a parent has to partake in every year. However, it’s not an effectively planned expense for most parents.

When a baby is born, parents make purchases anywhere between Rs 10000 – 30000 month on month, meeting the needs of baby products such as diapers, cribs, clothes, skincare, stroller, car seats, and more. But most parents do not plan for these expenses and rely on their bank savings to spend for them, without realizing that they could have saved much more had they gone the smarter way.

Multiply’s parenting category launch aims at solving this problem.

They have partnered with popular kids-first brands such as FirstCry, Hamleys, Vendatu, and StayQrious. Moreover, other popular brands such as Decathlon, Myntra, Flipkart, Nike, Puma, etc. also feature in this category from where parents usually purchase for their kids.

Multiple users, aka Multiplers, can plan for their kid’s expenses 3-12 months in advance, and earn investment returns on their savings. Moreover, the brands mentioned provide 3% – 25% additional savings in the form of co-investments. Overall, a parent saves big time while they have already planned for these inevitable spends.

Talking about the initiative, Paddy Raghavan, the CEO, and co-founder, of Multiple, said,

“Youngsters look at saving for vacations and gadget purchases. However, as one grows older, their priorities may change, and be more focused on their regular expense-based lifestyle, a big part of which includes their children’s education and other expenses.”

He added, “The new category on Multiply is launched with the purpose of helping parents become more prudent while spending for their children. It ensures that young parents do not fall into a debt trap and are able to build positive savings behavior. We will be adding many more relevant and exciting brands to this category to make it exciting for the parents.”

To further strengthen this category, Multiply has done a strategic partnership with iMumz – a platform to empower pregnant mothers to deliver healthy, happy, and intelligent babies through a positive lifestyle. The goal of this partnership is to help mothers (and parents) plan for a change in their lifestyle once their baby is born.

iMumz CEO and Founder Ravi Teja Akondi said, “Multiply and iMumz sync perfectly as we both have a clear purpose of helping young parents in all aspects of parenthood. While iMumz provides the necessary lifestyle guidance to unlock the true potential of the newly born, Multipl enables parents financially to achieve the same thing. We’re very excited about this partnership.”
