Considering LASIK eye surgery to lessen dependence on glasses?
Laser vision correction such as LASIK and PRK is laser eye surgery using an excimer laser to reshape the cornea of your eye with the goal of reducing dependence on glasses or contacts.
How do I know if LASIK or PRK right for me?
Both LASIK and PRK laser eye surgery aim to correct a variety of refractive conditions including:
- Myopia (nearsightedness)
- Astigmatism
- Farsightedness
The difference resides in the making of a corneal flap before the laser is applied. While LASIK involves the eye surgeon to cut a flap, PRK involves removing a thin layer of epithelial cell before the laser is applied. While LASIK recovery is faster, PRK may be recommended by Dr. Chao for those with thin but otherwise healthy corneas.
