What is Laser Eye Surgery?<\/h2>\n

Laser eye surgery, also termed as refractive surgery, is a procedure that uses lasers to reshape the cornea. It is done to correct refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. Its goal is to improve vision to the point where glasses or contact lenses are no longer necessary. The most common types of laser eye surgery include LASIK, PRK, LASEK, SMILE, SILK, and Contoura Vision.<\/p>\n

What Are the Different Types of Laser Eye Surgeries?<\/h2>\n\n

PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy):<\/h3>\n\n

PRK, the first type of laser eye surgery, is still widely used today. In contrast to LASIK, it doesn’t involve creating a corneal flap. Instead, the outer corneal layer (epithelium) is removed, and the underlying tissue is reshaped with an excimer laser. And within a few days, the epithelium naturally regenerates.<\/p>\n

This surgery can be done for patients with thin corneas, dry eyes, or those who are at risk for corneal flap complications. Ideal for individuals involved in contact sports or jobs with a high risk of eye injury.<\/p>\n
