Who Can Benefit From Laser Eye Surgery?

In order to be considered a candidate for laser eye surgery, your eyes must be in good health. Infections, severe dry eye, or recent trauma may mean you’ll need to delay the procedure.

Here are a few other considerations for surgery:

You must be 18 years of age or older.
Your refractive error must not be too great.
Your prescription must be stable.

What Is Laser Eye Surgery?

Laser eye surgery is a group of procedures—all just a little bit different—that use a laser to correct refractive errors in your vision.

Technological advances have made several types of laser vision correction possible, but 3 of the most common types are LASIK, PRK, and SMILE.

LASIK

Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) involves a surgeon cutting a flap in your cornea. This flap is then folded back, and the remaining layers are reshaped with a precision laser.

Once the reshaping is complete, the surgeon will return the flap to its original position, and the cornea will repair itself. Post-surgery surveys report extremely high levels of satisfaction with LASIK.

PRK

Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) involves the surgeon removing the top layer of the cornea altogether, then reshaping the remaining layers.

SMILE

Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a femtosecond laser—a short-pulsed, near-infrared laser—to create a small lens-shaped disc (lenticule) in the cornea.

The tissue is removed through an incision less than 4 millimeters wide. The smaller incision can promote faster recovery and may benefit patients with higher prescriptions or dry eye concern

RLE & CLE: An Alternative to Laser Vision Correction

Refractive lens exchange (RLE) and clear lens extraction (CLE) are alternatives to traditional laser vision correction for patients who may not qualify for LASIK or PRK. These procedures involve replacing the natural lens with an intraocular lens (IOL) to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

RLE and CLE are ideal for people over 40 who are experiencing presbyopia or dealing with conditions like thin corneas, cataracts, or dry eyes. During a consultation, we’ll assess your eye health, discuss your vision goals, and help you choose the best IOL for your lifestyle.

Is Laser Surgery Right for Me?

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with laser eye surgery. We can help you understand the risks and will support you in making an informed decision.
