LAser Refractive surgery
LASIK and PRK are common types of laser refractive surgery that correct vision so patients no longer depend on glasses or contacts. LASIK involves creating a flap on the eye, lifting the flap, using a laser to reshape the cornea and then replacing the flap. PRK alternatively creates a corneal abrasion instead of a flap, then uses a laser to reshape the cornea. Patients are gratified to have clear vision for years without glasses or contacts. There are specific advantages to each LASIK and PRK to discuss with your surgeon.
