Laser Eye Surgery Consultation

PRK was the first type of laser eye surgery performed and remains the preferred method of many eye surgeons. The process involves removing tissue from the corneal surface and reshaping it with a laser in order to change how light refracts in your eye.

The most popular form of laser eye surgery, LASIK involves making a flap in the cornea, using a laser to reshape the cornea to its desired correction, and then replacing the flap. This form of laser eye surgery usually has the shortest recovery and healing time.

Using a specialized, proprietary femtosecond laser, SMILE laser eye surgery removes a small piece of corneal tissue called a lenticule through a small incision in the cornea. When this lenticlue is removed, the shape of the cornea is altered, resulting in a change in refraction and clear vision.

Refractive Lens Exchange, or clear lens extraction, is a process in which the eye’s natural lens is removed and replaced with a multifocal intraocular lens, resulting in the correction of either nearsightedness or farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia.
