LASIK

In LASIK, the cornea is reshaped after lifting a thin flap from its surface, allowing correction of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism with fast visual improvement in a few days. This tech suits patients with healthy, relatively thick corneas and stable vision for months pre-op.

Femto-LASIK

Femto-LASIK uses a femtosecond laser to create the flap with high precision instead of a mechanical blade, lowering complication risks and improving corneal surface evenness. It is an advanced choice for those seeking higher safety and more stable results, especially for mid to high vision errors.

SMILE

In SMILE tech, a small lens is shaped inside the corneal thickness by a femtosecond laser, then removed via a micro-incision without needing to lift a full flap. This method helps keep corneal strength and is often preferred for thin corneas or high nearsightedness patients needing extra safety.

PRK (Surface LASIK)

In PRK, the cornea’s outer layer is removed, then laser is applied directly to its surface, with a protective contact lens placed until cells heal. This tech stands out for suiting those unfit for flap surgeries, like people with thin corneas or those prone to trauma (athletes/military), though recovery is slower with some temporary post-op discomfort.
