LASIK Eye Surgery

(Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis)

LASIK is a type of refractive surgery that uses a laser to treat your vision problems caused by refractive errors. LASIK, or Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, is a highly effective and popular procedure designed to correct refractive vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. During LASIK, a skilled ophthalmologist employs a precise laser to reshape the cornea, allowing light to focus correctly onto the retina. The result? Sharper vision and reduced dependency on eyeglasses or contact lenses. This innovative procedure offers patients more than just visual clarity; it provides newfound freedom and convenience in their daily lives. Say goodbye to the hassle of fogged-up glasses or misplaced contacts and embrace the world of clear, unobstructed vision with LASIK, a remarkable solution in the realm of refractive eye surgery.

PRK Eye Surgery

(Photorefractive Keratectomy)

PRK, or Photorefractive Keratectomy, is like LASIK, in the sense that it gently reshapes the cornea's surface, providing exceptional results for patients dealing with nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Unlike LASIK though, which involves creating a corneal flap and placing it back down, PRK removes the surface epithelium layer altogether. Your eye then regrows it during the recovery process. As a result, the recovery process takes longer, but once recovered, it provides the same great visual results as LASIK. PRK tends to be more suitable for patients with thinner corneas, high levels of dry eye, or patients likely to be exposed to trauma of the eye such as high-contact sports athletes, military/police, etc. During your consultation, you will find out which surgery is right for you.
