There are a few diffenernt type of LVC you can get LASIK LASEK AND WAVEFRONT. I think the most common one is: LAZIK: reshapes the cornea at a deeper level cmpared to lasek. A thin flap of corneal tussue is created which is gently lifted and the laser is applied to the underlying tissue,making microscopic changes to reshape it, then the flap is put back in its original position. The entire proess take about 15mins and unlike other laser correction techniques,LASIK patients experience far less discomfart after the procedure. Both eyes can be treated simulaneously, with many patients returning to woek after 48hours. A significant improvemnet in vison is commonly seen within a few hours. The LAZIK procedure obtains excellent results for patients with long sight,short sight and agstigmatism. Visual settling time is faster with LAZIK procedure. Occasionally, some patients are not deemed suitable for LAZIK and therefore LAZEK may be recomened. hope this helps. |
