Types of Refractive Surgery

patient in surgery

There are several types of refractive surgery available to correct vision problems caused by refractive errors, including:

  • LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis)
  • Custom or bladeless LASIK
  • Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK)
  • Laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK)
  • Epi-LASIK
  • Conductive Keratoplasty (CK)
  • Phakic Intraocular Lenses (IOLs)
  • Refractive Lens Exchange (Clear Lens Extraction)

Most of these procedures involve reshaping the curvature of the cornea with laser or heat. Sometimes, a very thin flap is made in the cornea, so the ophthalmologist can access and reshape the cornea underneath. Afterwards, the flap is replaced and the cornea is allowed heal on its own, without the need for sutures.

Before deciding on a type of refractive surgery, talk to your ophthalmologist about the potential risks and side effects. Keep in mind that there is not a single best procedure for everyone. Your ophthalmologist can help you choose a procedure that fits your visual requirements and lifestyle.

Reviews From Our Satisfied Patients

  • "I love the service and the store setup. Very inviting & the staff is amazing!"
    Brenda A.
  • "I live way across town but would get my yearly visit and frames from here. This staff is the best hands down. He treats his patients with the respect and very informative when it comes to the health of your eyes. Adrianna at the front desk is a pleasant young lady. She goes out of her way to make sure the glasses fit and will adjust them if need be. Not to mention warming up the frames so they don't feel cold. Love this place and will definitely be continuing going back there."
