Understanding Laser Eye Surgery

Laser Eye Surgery refers to a variety of procedures designed to correct refractive errors – such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism – using laser technology to reshape the cornea, the clear front part of the eye. This reshaping allows light entering the eye to be properly focused onto retina, resulting in clearer vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses.

The primary benefit of laser eye surgery is the potential for a significant improvement in visual acuity, with many patients achieving 20/20 vision or better. Additionally, it offers a rapid recovery time and can significantly enhance the quality of life for those who have been dependant on corrective eyewear.

Types of Laser Surgery

There are several types of laser eye surgery, each with its unique approach and application:

  • LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis): : The most popular type of refractive surgery. It involves creating a think flap in the cornea, reshaping the underlying corneal tissue with a laser, and then repositioning the flap.
  • LASEK (Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis): Similar to PRK, LASEK treats the epithelial layer of the cornea, which is softened and moved aside before the cornea is reshaped with a laser.
  • PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy): This procedure involves removing a small layer of the corneal surface before reshaping the cornea with laser. PRK is often recommended for patients with thin corneas.
  • SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction): A minimally invasive procedure where a small, lens-shaped bit of corneal tissue is removed through a small incision, reshaping the cornea.

Each of these procedures has its advantages and ideal applications, making the choice of method a crucial decision based on the patient’s specific vision correction needs and the health of their eyes.
