Want to get LASIK? But confused about which method to choose? It is important for you to know the various types of laser vision correction methods as a consideration to suit your vision problems. Learn more about the following types of laser vision correction methods!

PRK is a refractive surgery procedure that involves peeling off the outer layer of the cornea (epithelium) and thinning the stromal layer with laser light. A bandage contact lens will be placed on the eye until the outer corneal layer (epithelium) grows back within a few days. This method is still practiced today.

Advantages of the PRK method :
1.Without Flap
2.More suitable for patients with thin corneas
3.No complications due to flap
4.Cost is more affordable than other methods

Femto-LASIK is a laser vision correction procedure to correct refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism (astigmatism) using a laser on the cornea.

The FemtoLASIK procedure uses a femtosecond laser to create an opening on the corneal surface and an Excimer laser to correct refractive errors. This makes the Femto-LASIK procedure more accurate, less painful, and faster recovery than previous methods.

Advantages of the FEMTO-LASIK method :
1.After the procedure, there were fewer complaints of sensitivity compared to PRK
2.Effects of dry eye occurrence are milder
3.Faster vision recovery

The latest laser vision correction technology is SMILE Pro. It comes with a laser speed that only takes 8 seconds to create a lenticule and a small incision of about 2 - 4 mm to remove the lenticule. Robotic assisted and equipped with “Astigmatism Axis Aided Navigation (OcuLign)” and “Visual Axis Aided Navigation (CentraLign)” features, which can guide and position more accurately during vision correction, thereby providing precise results, increasing the efficiency and safety of surgery and the VISUMAX 800 design which has an open space concept, can minimize the fear of patients, especially patients who have claustrophobia so that it is more comfortable.

Advantages of the SMILE PRO method :
1.Laser action in just 8 - 10 seconds
2.Faster recovery
3.Provides precise results
4.Almost no pain
5.Very low risk of dry eyes
6.The integrity of the corneal structure is maintained

Some laser vision correction methods have distinct differences. However, the goal of each procedure is the same: to correct your vision problems. Your doctor will recommend a laser vision correction procedure that suits your condition. Consult and have a pre-classic examination to find out which method is suitable for you.
