Vision correction has come a long way from traditional eyeglasses. Today’s advanced eye treatments offer faster recovery, higher precision, and long-lasting results. Here’s a look at the most widely used procedures reshaping eye care today:
🔹 LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis):
One of the most established procedures, LASIK reshapes the cornea using a precision laser to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It offers fast recovery and is widely available worldwide.
🔹 Femto LASIK:
An advanced version of LASIK using a femtosecond laser for added precision and safety, reducing the risks associated with traditional microkeratome tools.
🔹 SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction):
A minimally invasive technique requiring only a small incision. SMILE offers less dry eye post-op and is ideal for patients with higher degrees of myopia.
🔹 PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy):
Suitable for thinner corneas, PRK doesn’t involve creating a corneal flap. It takes longer to recover but can be safer for certain patients.
🔹 ReLEx SMILE Pro:
A cutting-edge evolution of SMILE that provides even faster healing and greater comfort with minimal disruption to the cornea.
