The most popular refractive surgery is the laser procedure called Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis surgery (LASIK). The doctor will use a femtosecond laser to create a corneal flap and then shape the corneal tissue with an excimer laser. As a result, vision will improve, and you may no longer use your eyeglasses or contact lenses. Sometimes, the vision may improve to the point where you will use thinner spectacles. Another surgical procedure is advanced surface ablation (ASA), which comes in the form of PhotoRefractive Keratectomy (PRK). The procedure involves removing the epithelial layer of the cornea and shaping the corneal tissue with an excimer laser.
If you are planning for a LASIK assessment, please stop wearing contact lenses at least one week before your consultation, as they may affect the accuracy of your eye measurements. Remember to bring any previous eye examination records and your current spectacles with you. If you have any doubts or questions, feel free to contact us anytime.
