LASIK Specs Removal in Palam Vihar – Laser PRK, ICL & Contoura

There are a variety of different types of LASIK surgery, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

• Standard LASIK is the most common type of LASIK, and it uses a standard laser to create a smooth surface in your eyes. This approach is generally recommended for people who have moderate to high myopia (nearsightedness).
• Femto LASIK is a more advanced type of LASIK that uses a tiny optical laser to create a sharper image. This approach is typically best for people who have very high myopia and cannot tolerate the possibility of future vision problems due to over-treatment with standard LASIK.
• Contoura Vision is another advanced type of LASIK that uses a curved laser probe to create a smoother image than standard LASIK. It’s typically best suited for people with moderate astigmatism or irregularly shaped cornea.
• EPI Lasik is an option for people who want more precise control over their vision than standard LASIK can provide. This procedure uses tiny surgical chips connected to an electronic eyeshield instead of a laser wand.
• SMILE is an experimental technique that uses low-power lasers to destroy the epithelium (the outer layer)of the eye without actually cutting into the retina or underlying tissue. Studies show that SMILE may be better than LASIK at correcting vision and reducing glare and halos, with fewer risks of complications.
• PRK (Photo Refractive Keratectomy) is another laser eye surgery that can correct vision problems. In PRK, the surgeon removes a thin layer of tissue from the cornea and then reshapes it with a special laser before replacing it. Unlike LASIK, PRK does not involve making any cuts in the cornea. It usually takes longer for the eye to heal after PRK than LASIK (usually several weeks rather than a few days), but it is a good choice for people who cannot have their corneas cut or those who have thin corneas.
• ICL (Implantable Contact Lenses) is a type of vision correction that involves implanting special contact lenses inside the eye. The lenses are used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. This procedure is more invasive than other types of laser eye surgery and requires the patient to stay in the hospital overnight while the lenses are implanted. In some cases, ICL may be the only option to correct vision problems that cannot be adequately corrected with laser eye surgery or glasses.
