Before considering lasik surgery, it helps to know
what treatment options are available and what their individual
benefits may be. In addition to conventional lasik surgery used to
treat common refractive errors, there are several other types of
corneal refractive surgery available today. Epi-lasik is very similar
to conventional lasik, but uses different equipment that is effective
in treating people with thin corneas. Other procedures that are used
for people with thin corneas are photorefractive keratectomy, or PRK,
and laser epithelial keratomileusis or lasek. Conductive keratoplasty
is a non-invasive procedure to treat farsightedness in people over 40.
It is best to discuss the right type of procedure to correct a
particular refractive error with a physician or eye doctor.
In addition to understanding surgical options, it
also helps to research the availability and skill of lasik surgeons.
Ask family, friends or co-workers who have undergone lasik recently
for recommendations.
