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

There are many types of LASIK surgery, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Here is a brief overview of the most common options:

• Standard LASIK: This is the most common type of LASIK surgery and involves using a laser to cut away the cornea’s surface layer. The surgery is safe and effective, but it has two main disadvantages: It can be expensive, and it requires a longer recovery time than other types of LASIK.
• Femto LASIK: Femto LASIK is a newer option that uses a smaller laser than standard LASIK. This makes the surgery less invasive and less likely to cause any pain or discomfort. However, Femto LASIK has two main disadvantages compared to standard LASIK: It is more expensive, and it may not be as effective as standard LASIK.
• Contoura Vision: Contoura Vision is a type of “hybrid” LASIK that combines aspects of standard and Femto-LASIK surgeries. It has some of the benefits of both procedures, but it also has some limitations. For example, Contoura Vision may not be as effective as femto-LASik or standard LASIK when treating certain vision problems.
• EPI Lasik: EPI Lasik is another newer option that uses lasers to remove only part of the cornea’s surface layer instead of cutting it all away. This makes the surgery less invasive and faster than standard LASIK. However, it is also more expensive than other types of LASIK and may not be as effective in treating certain vision problems.
• SMILE: SMILE  is a newer option that requires only one small, self-sealing cut in the cornea. It is similar to EPI Lasik in that it’s less invasive than standard LASIK, but it has some advantages: It’s faster and more affordable than other types of LASIK. However, SMILE may not be as effective in treating certain vision problems.
• PRK: Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) is a laser surgery that involves reshaping the cornea with a laser and removing some of its surface layers. This makes it less invasive than LASIK, but it has two main drawbacks: It takes longer for vision to improve after the surgery, and it can be more painful than LASIK.
• ICL: Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) is a newer option that involves implanting an artificial lens between the cornea and the iris. This can be very effective in treating certain vision problems, but it’s not suitable for everyone. Furthermore, ICL surgery is expensive and requires a long recovery time.
• 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.
