Although Laser Eye Surgery sounds like a technique in itself, there are actually several techniques under the umbrella of this term. Although most corrective eye surgeries use lasers, some don’t.
Lasik Eye Surgery
Lasik is usually the most common laser eye surgery technique used these days, and involves the use of a laser to lift a small flap of corneal tissue and then sculpting the tissue beneath to help improve the eye’s focus.
Lasek Eye Surgery
Lasek… as well as being similar in name to Lasik surgery, Lasek is also similar in practise. The main difference is that using this technique the layer that is cut is thinner.
PRK Eye Surgery
With PRK eye surgery, there is no flap cut into the corneal tissue, some tissue is actually removed from the surface layer of the cornea instead.
Is Eye Surgery Safe
Any surgery carries risk; it is up to the patient to discuss the risks with a medical professional and make an informed decision.
The statistics for are pretty impressive, with less than 1% of patient being left with persistent side effects/problems, which have been known to include; hazy vision, glare, ‘dry eye’ and others.
Ensuring you have a very experienced surgeon, who uses the latest Laser Eye Surgery techniques, can help reduce the already small risks further.
