WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LASIK EYE SURGERY & PRK
LASIK (LASER ASSISTED IN SITU KERATOMILEUSIS)
- We offer custom all laser LASIK.
- This procedure can treat patients who are nearsighted, farsighted or who have astigmatism.
- We utilize a femtosecond laser to create a corneal flap exposing the underlying corneal tissue.
- The Excimer laser permanently reshapes the irregularities in your cornea for vision correction.
- The flap is repositioned and allowed for healing without the need for stitches.
- This results in the safest and most predictable treatment with rapid recovery.
PRK (PHOTOREFRACTIVE KERATECTOMY)
- PRK is an alternative laser vision correction procedure.
- This procedure can treat patients who are nearsighted, farsighted or who have astigmatism.
- PRK is an ideal option for patients with higher prescriptions.
- PRK uses the Excimer laser to reshape the cornea for vision correction without the involvement of creating a flap.
- This limits the risks of complications associated with a corneal flap and offers an equally safe and predictable results.
