Understanding Different Types of LASIK Eye Surgery

Although thousands of people have benefited from normal LASIK surgery by being able to see better without the need for glasses or contact lenses, not everyone has the same vision problems. Consequently, different types of LASIK eye surgery may be used to assist you by your ophthalmologist or eye surgeon. These include-
Standard Laser Eye Correction
This type of LASIK eye surgery involves using an excimer laser to reshape the cornea after a thin flap is created on it using a microkeratome.Customized Laser Eye Correction
This type of LASIK surgery greatly increases the likelihood of ideal outcomes. During this treatment, the computerized laser is customized by your eye surgeon to fit your eyes, allowing for more precise corneal correction. \
Topography-Guided Laser Eye Correction
This type of LASIK surgery precisely maps the structure of your cornea. Your eye surgeon can utilize the mapping information to target the areas where the laser needs to work to improve your vision.
SBK Advanced Laser Eye Correction
SBK Advanced LASIK is the most sophisticated among the types of LASIK eye surgery. It treats common vision problems like astigmatism, nearsightedness, and farsightedness.
SMILE
SMILE is a minimally invasive refractive surgery that creates a small, lens-shaped piece of tissue (lenticule) inside the cornea, which is subsequently removed through a small incision.
