LASIK Specs Removal in Inderlok – Laser PRK, ICL & Contoura

There are several types of laser eye surgery options available to patients, each with its own benefits and drawbacks.

• Standard LASIK is the most common type of laser eye surgery and involves removing the majority of the cornea using a blade to create a smooth surface. This procedure is generally safe and effective, but there are some potential side effects, including dry eyes and glare.
• Femto LASIK uses a smaller laser to remove only the very thin upper layer of the cornea, which can lead to better vision without any complications or side effects. However, this procedure is more expensive than standard LASIK and may not be available in all locations.
• Contoura Vision is a newer type of laser eye surgery that uses advanced stereoscopic technology to create a detailed map of your eye’s surface. This procedure can be more expensive than standard LASIK or Femto LASIK but may offer better vision quality overall.
• EPI Lasik uses an excimer laser to vaporize the cornea completely without damaging surrounding tissue, which results in improved vision clarity and reduced eyestrain. This procedure is generally safe but can be more challenging for those who have difficulty keeping their eyes closed during surgery.
• SMILE is another newer type of laser eye surgery that uses a femtosecond laser to reshape your lower eyelid without the removal of tissue or a blade. This procedure is usually painless and offers improved vision without any potential side effects, but the results are not permanent.
• PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is an older type of laser eye surgery that involves removing the outermost layer of tissue from the corneal surface. This procedure can be more painful than other types of laser eye surgery, but it is generally safe and effective. The vision results tend to last longer with PRK than with other types of laser eye surgery as well. 
• Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) is a type of laser eye surgery that involves inserting an artificial lens into the eye. This procedure tends to be more expensive than other types of laser eye surgery and may cause some side effects, such as glare or halos around lights at night. However, the vision results can be very good and are often permanent.
• 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.
