More recently, customized ablation has been performed with LASIK, LASEK, and PRK. Transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (TransPRK) is a laser-assisted eye surgery to correct refraction errors of human eye corneas. It uses ...

   LASIK can correct myopia up to -12 to -14 D. The higher the intended correction the thinner and flatter the cornea will be post-operatively. For LASIK surgery, one has to preserve a safe residual stromal bed of at least 250 μm, preferably 300 μm. Beyond these limits there is an increased risk of developing corneal ectasia (i.e. corneal ...
