LASER VISION CORRECTION (LASIK/PRK/LASEK)
LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) is laser vision surgery for correcting refractive error: myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Alternatively, some patients are better suited for PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) aka ASA, Advanced Surface Ablation) that does not involve a blade incision. Not everyone is a candidate. To determine candidacy for laser vision correction, a thorough consultation is recommended. Patient history, corneal thickness, corneal topography, severity of myopia/hyperopia/astigmatism, eye dominance and pupil size are some of the findings that contribute to candidacy.
