LASIK & Beyond: Modern Vision Correction Guide

Refractive surgery has come a long way. Today, there are several ways to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism permanently.

LASIK

The most popular choice. It's fast, virtually painless, and offers a very quick recovery time. Most patients return to work within a day or two.

PRK

An alternative for patients with thinner corneas who might not be ideal candidates for LASIK. While healing takes slightly longer, the final visual results are just as good.

ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens)

For patients with very high prescriptions or extreme dry eye, ICL provides an excellent alternative by placing a permanent lens inside the eye without removing any corneal tissue.
