  1. Types of Laser Eye Surgery

  2. There are seven different types of laser eye surgery available. As an opticians London , we expect that more procedures will be introduced as new technologies emerge. The types of laser eye surgery are as follows; • LASIK: LASIK is an acronym for Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis and is one of the earliest forms of eye surgery. The procedure entails using a blade to create a flap of the epithelium before the laser is focused on the cornea. The laser would then be used to remove thin layers of the cornea. • Intra-LASIK: Very similar to LASIK, intra-LASIK also involves cutting the top layer of the cornea but using laser rather than a blade.

  3. Wavefront LASIK: Wavefront LASIK is the most recent form of LASIK in which a map or 3D scan of the patient’s eye is produced. • PRK: PRK is an acronym for Photorefractive Keratectomy. It is a refractive eye surgery that is used to correct near-sightedness, astigmatism and far-sightedness. • LASEK: It is variation of PRK that combines the techniques of LASIK and PRK. • Epi-LASIK and Epi-LASEK: These two types of laser eye surgery are very similar to LASIK and LASEK. A dull blade is used to create a small corneal flap in epi-LASIK. Epi-LASEK is a modification of LASEK using a blunt blade as well.
