LASIK
(Laser-Assisted in-Situ Keratomileusis)
LASIK (laser in-situ keratomileusis) is the most popular refractive surgery performed today. LASIK surgery is easy, effective and surprisingly quick. LASIK allows more freedom, making it a popular decision for those who are tired of the hassle of glasses and contacts. There are different types of LASIK surgery, which are offered at Laser & Corneal Surgery Associates in New York City and White Plains. LASIK is a surgery that reshapes the cornea so that light is properly reflected onto the retina. This procedure reduces blurriness of vision, often making glasses and contacts unnecessary. This surgery is highly customizable, and is great for patients who are nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism. At Laser & Corneal Surgery Associates in New York and White Plains, we offer Wavefront Technology, which adds a component of better accuracy during surgery.
PRK
(Photorefractive Keratectomy)
During PRK, your ophthalmologist first uses a sterile alcohol solution to loosen up the epithelium (surface skin cells) on the center of the eye. The cells are then gently removed using a special surgical brush. The excimer laser is then used to ablate a custom-pattern over the eye, reshaping its surface. A contact lens is then placed over the eye to serve as a bandage.
PRK is often a great alternative to LASIK for people with dry eyes, or thinner corneas. Your ophthalmologist determine which procedure is best fit for your individual needs.
Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL)
Like a contact lens surgically placed inside the eye.
Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICL) are clear, prosthetic lenses designed to correct high degrees of myopia (nearsightedness). They are surgically implanted and sit either in front or behind the iris. The ICL functions almost like a contact lens inside the eye, reducing your dependency on glasses and contact lenses. ICLs are most often used to correct vision in patients with very high prescriptions, who are not candidates for LASIK, or PRK.
