1
Is LASIK Surgery Really Right For You You must
have heard of LASIK eye procedure. If not, you
dont need to freak out. LASIK eye procedure is
a laser eye procedure that is performed to
correct the vision of a problem. So if a person
faces any kind of problem with their vision, they
can opt for this procedure. One of the important
advantages of this procedure over other forms of
eye procedure is its success rate. A huge number
of people who have opted for LASIK dont need to
wear glasses or contact lenses. Moreover, the
vision of a person has greatly improved. Understa
nding LASIK LASIK stands for laser in situ
keratomileusis. With this procedure, one can
treat common vision problems, such as myopia
(nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness).
LASIK eye- procedure is an outpatient procedure
and doesnt require the patient to stay in the
hospital. The procedure takes 15 minutes to
reshape the cornea. The reshaping allows light to
enter the eye and reach to the cornea. Wide
Number of LASIK Procedure Options When it comes
to LASIK, one gets to see a wide number of
options. So before you opt for LASIK procedure,
you should remain informed. It is important to
know the number of options available. Now,
lets take a look into the different forms of
LASIK procedure Traditional LASIK
Procedure Its the most popular eye procedure
option. It can help in correcting nearsightedness
or astigmatism. This procedure depends on the
excimer laser, a ultra-violet laser that is used
by the surgeon to reshape the cornea and work on
the vision problem. Custom Wavefront LASIK
Procedure Eye surgeons can customize the
procedure procedure to meet the unique need of
the patients. This procedure takes the help of
inclusive, 3D mapping of the eye via a CustomVUE
system. The Custom Wavefront mapping empowers
surgeons to take an accurate look at the eyes
structure and the cause for the problem with
vision. It involves a high level of precision in
correcting the problem with vision. Topography
Guided LASIK Procedure Just like Custom
Wavefront LASIK, the topography-guided LASIK
comes with tools that can enrich the
personalization of laser eye procedure. Centers
offering topography-guided LASIK procedure
procedure can help the surgeons to use tools for
measuring the distinctive characteristics of a
patients eye. In short, this procedure makes
use of some advanced mapping technologies to
offer a unique and highly personalized treatment
for the eyes.

The important difference of this
topography-guided procedure with a laser eye
procedure procedure is that the former procedure
can address the eye shape along with the shape of
the cornea. Apart from increased
personalization, this procedure can be a great
option for those who cant avail other kinds of
procedure. PRK Laser Eye Procedure This
procedure shares some similarity with other types
of laser procedure. However, it also has some
differences. One important difference is PKR
doesnt need the formation of a flap however,
the excimer laser is still used for addressing
problems with vision by reshaping the cornea.
This procedure is ideal for patients who want to
avoid flaps. Depending on the condition of the
eye, LASIK procedure technique for a person can
vary. One can talk with a trusted Lasik
consultant, to find out which LASIK procedure
would be right for the patient.
