Understanding Laser Eye Surgery
Laser eye surgery is a precise and effective way to correct vision problems. There are several types of treatment available:
- LASIK
The most common treatment, suitable for most prescriptions. Creates a small flap in the cornea.
- LASEK/PRK
No flap creation, suitable for thin corneas. Longer recovery but potentially safer for some patients.
- SMILE
Minimally invasive, no flap created. Quick recovery and reduced dry eye risk.
- Wavefront
Customized treatment using 3D eye mapping for more precise results.
