The Approach to LASIK Surgery by Mykare Health
LASIK Surgery: This is the most popular laser procedure for vision correction. It uses a specialized laser to reshape the cornea, reducing the need for glasses or contacts.
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy): Instead of creating a flap like LASIK, PRK removes the top layer of the cornea. While it requires a longer healing time of 3-4 days and may involve some discomfort, it can be beneficial for individuals at risk of eye injuries. LASIK is usually preferred for severe nearsightedness.
Femto LASIK: Also known as femtosecond-assisted LASIK, this method restructures the cornea using advanced laser technology to treat vision problems.
LASIK vs PRK
Both LASIK and PRK are refractive eye surgeries that correct conditions like astigmatism, nearsightedness, and farsightedness by reshaping the cornea with a laser. LASIK creates a small flap in the cornea, while PRK removes the outer layer, which will eventually regrow. Each procedure has its own pros and cons, so consult your eye specialist to determine which is best for you.
