It is nice to have choices…

Assuming a successful outcome, both have virtually identical results. PRK has no flap related complications and does not weaken the cornea as much as LASIK. PRK has a longer healing process. I prefer PRK as I believe it is safer. With LASIK, the flap never completely heals and even years later can be displaced. With that said, complications with either procedure are rare and you should be very happy with either procedure. Other options…

My eyesight is -4.0, can I go with LASIK?

Range of treatment for LASIK
Jun 18, 2018

All lasers have approval ranges. All lasers can treat -4.00 effectively. The next issue is choosing the doctor and center. An experienced surgeon and staff will optimize your chance of a successful outcome. The best outcome begins with an accurate determination of your prescription. Although you state that your prescription is -4.00, it is very unlikely that it is this prescription in both eyes and may actually be -3.87 or -4.08 or a range around -4.00. A…

Vision Correction Candidates
Jun 6, 2018

Only your doctor can determine if you are a candidate for any vision correction procedure, but certainly by your prescription, you would appear to be an ideal candidate for vision correction.

Your problem is indeed a “broken blood vessel”. It is generally caused by coughing, sneezing or straining. The blood vessels in the eye are fragile and visible. If one breaks the blood will leak under the surface layer and be visible in the mirror or to others. With LASIK the suction ring will often break small vessels and create a sub conjunctival hemorrhage. The condition is almost always without concern and weeks later it is either…

Severe myopia correction. Am I a candidate for PRK or LASEK?

We have solutions for virtually any prescription!

Naturally, a complete exam is necessary before giving you an absolute direction for your personal situation. Depending on your age, a clear lens exchange or an implantable contact lens is likely your best option. A clear lens exchange can correct from -25 to +25 with 6 diopters of regular astigmatism. Procedures can be combined (often called “bioptics”). Only with a through exam, can your best option be determined. Many centersoffer…

Blurry vision/astigmatism on right eye a year after LASIK

Blurred vision
Nov 30, 2017

Did you notice blurred vision or did the doctor just notice something that was insignificant? Depending on what he saw it may or may not go away. If you are concerned, I would suggest you return to your surgeon. Your surgeon is in the best position to answer this question.

ICL or TransPRK?

Choices…

In experienced hands with your information, ICL should be a better option. ICL is additive, reversible, doesn’t alter the cornea shape or thin or weaken the cornea and generally results in excellent vision.
