LASIK vs. PRK vs. LASEK

Navigating Your Vision Correction Options

While LASIK is perhaps the most well-known vision correction surgery, it’s not the only option. Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) and Laser-Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratectomy (LASEK) are also effective procedures, each with its own set of advantages and ideal candidates. Understanding the differences can help you make an informed decision:

LASIK

  • Involves creating a flap in the cornea to reshape the underlying tissue. Ideal for those with thicker corneas, LASIK offers a quick recovery and minimal discomfort.

PRK

  • The surface layer of the cornea (epithelium) is removed before reshaping the cornea with an excimer laser. Suited for patients with thinner corneas or those at risk for flap complications, PRK has a longer recovery period but produces outcomes similar to LASIK.

LASEK

  • Combines elements of LASIK and PRK, involving a thinner epithelial flap. LASEK is an option for those who may not be ideal candidates for LASIK due to thinner corneas or lifestyle considerations.

Each of these procedures offers a path to improved vision, and the best choice depends on your specific eye anatomy, lifestyle, and vision correction needs. At Shreya Eye Centre, our experts will guide you through choosing the procedure that promises you the best outcome.
