2. Bladeless LASIK Eye
Surgery
Bladeless LASIK is when a silent
computer-guided laser is used to create
a customized corneal flap. It allows
surgeons to treat a wider variety of
patients, such as patients with thin
corneas.
4. Custom LASIK Eye
Surgery
Your cornea is like a fingerprint; no two are
alike. Custom LASIK creates a customized
map for each eye. This allows for treatment of
tiny imperfections in the eye that can impact
quality of vision. Custom LASIK improves
night vision and is more suitable for those
requiring higher levels of precision and
treatment accuracy than Conventional LASIK
can provide.
6. Conventional LASIK Eye
Surgery
The original LASIK procedure,
Conventional LASIK is when your
prescription is manually entered into the
laser and the surgeon uses a blade to create
the corneal flap.
8. Monovision
Monovision is when you and your doctor
may decide to leave one eye slightly
nearsighted before performing LASIK. It
is generally elected by people who have
already elected monovision correction
with their contacts.
10. PRK
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) utilizes
the excimer laser, like LASIK, to shape the
curvature of the eye and treat
nearsightedness, farsightedness, and
astigmatism. A PRK procedure differs from
LASIK as it is performed on the surface of
the eye and no flap is created. It is suitable
for people with larger pupils, thin corneas,
dry eyes and those who have other corneal
issues.
