PRK (photorephractive keratectomy) technique – excimer laser surgery is performed on the surface of the cornea after its upper layer (epithelium) has been removed. PRK is associated with prolonged stabilisation of the visual acuity and also greater pain. This kind of surgery is suitable for patients with mild to moderate short sight.
LASIK (Laser Assisted in situ Keratomilesis) technique – excimer laser surgery is performed in deeper layers of the cornea (stroma) after the corneal flap has been cut and folded back. Upon the end of the laser ablation the flap is put back into its place. Postoperative pain after a LASIK surgery is minimum, lasting for about 12 hours following the procedure. The stabilisation of visual functions is prompter than in PRK. Utilizable vision is achieved already on the 2nd day after the procedure. This kind of surgery is suitable for patients with serious short-sightedness or mild to moderate long-sightedness.
The state-of-the-art laser – the VISX S4 CustomVue laser.
CustomeVue technology can identify the optimum surgical procedure for everyone. Using the WaveScan system we make a unique map of your vision (it is about 25 times more precise than the standard examination), which is then transferred electronically into the control unit of the VISX S4 excimer laser. Thus the information obtained enables us to perform a highly accurate specific refractive procedure.
