The Treatment
More Information
LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis):
LASIK is the most popular and well-known laser eye surgery. The procedure involves creating a thin flap on the cornea’s surface, usually using a microkeratome or a femtosecond laser. The underlying corneal tissue is then reshaped with an excimer laser to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. After the cornea is reshaped, the flap is repositioned, and it adheres naturally without the need for stitches. LASIK typically results in rapid visual recovery and minimal discomfort.
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy):
PRK is an alternative to LASIK, often chosen when the cornea is too thin for LASIK or for other specific medical reasons.
In PRK, the corneal epithelium (the outermost layer of the cornea) is gently removed before the excimer laser reshapes the underlying corneal tissue. Unlike LASIK, no flap is created in PRK, which can lead to a longer and somewhat more uncomfortable recovery period. PRK is effective in correcting vision issues and is considered a safe and reliable procedure.
Both LASIK and PRK aim to improve vision by changing the shape of the cornea so that light entering the eye focuses properly on the retina. The choice between these procedures depends on individual factors, such as the patient’s eye anatomy and any preexisting eye conditions.
