LASIK Specs Removal in Civil Lines – Laser PRK, ICL & Contoura

There are a variety of types of Lasik surgery available, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Here is a rundown of the most common types:

• Standard Lasik: This is the most commonly performed type of Lasik surgery. It uses a laser to cut through the layer of cornea above your eye, creating a smooth surface for vision. The standard procedure takes about 45 minutes and results in a 95 percent success rate.
• Femto Lasik: This is an advanced form of LASIK that uses a less powerful laser than the standard procedure. As a result, it has a higher success rate but may require longer recovery time. The femto procedure usually takes about one hour and results in a 98 percent success rate.
• Contoura Vision: This type of LASIK uses two lasers to create more precise cuts than the standard procedure. It has a high success rate but requires more time to recover from surgery, typically taking about two hours.
• EPI Lasik: This is another advanced form of LASIK that uses an electronic device to help guide the laser during surgery. It has a lower success rate than standard or femto LASIK but is faster and less invasive, requiring just 30 minutes for treatment.
• SMILE: SMILE is another advanced form of LASIK that use tiny glass spheres called “lenticules” to reshape the cornea. The procedure is less invasive than other forms of LASIK and requires no cutting, resulting in a faster recovery time—usually just 15 minutes.
• PRK (Photo Refractive Keratectomy): PRK is an earlier form of LASIK surgery that uses a laser to remove the top layer of the cornea, which can then be reshaped. It has a slightly lower success rate than standard or femto LASIK but requires less time for recovery—usually just 3-5 days.
• ICL (Implantable Contact Lens): ICL is a form of LASIK that implants an artificial lens in the eye to improve vision. It has a high success rate but requires more recovery time than other forms of LASIK, typically taking up to two weeks.
• RLE (Refractive Lens Exchange): RLE is a surgical procedure in which an artificial lens is implanted in the eye to correct vision. It has a very high success rate but requires more recovery time than other forms of LASIK, typically taking up to 4-6 weeks.
• TransPRK is a touchless, surface-based procedure that removes the epithelium using a laser instead of manual scraping. It’s ideal for people with thin corneas or those who prefer a flapless, blade-free option.
• SmartSurf LASIK is an advanced, completely touchless and blade-free technique. It combines the safety of PRK with the comfort of LASIK, offering faster healing and minimal discomfort.
• Custom Eye with Foresight Pro (Flap/Flapless) uses AI-guided technology for enhanced precision. This personalized treatment ensures HD-quality vision and is suitable for both flap and flapless options.
• CLEAR NEO (ReLEx SMILE Advanced) is the next generation of flapless LASIK. It offers the fastest recovery, is 100% painless, and provides superior visual outcomes compared to traditional LASIK.
• CLEAR NEO PRO is an upgraded version of CLEAR NEO, offering enhanced precision and even faster recovery with advanced laser mapping and ultra-smooth corneal reshaping.
• Wavelight Innoveyes is the latest AI-powered LASIK technology that uses intelligent mapping to adapt to each patient’s eye. It provides unmatched clarity, precision, and visual comfort post-surgery.
