2. LASIK - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LASIK

   LASIK surgery is performed by an ophthalmologist who uses a femtosecond laser or a microkeratome to create a corneal flap to expose the corneal stroma and then an excimer laser to reshape the corneal stroma in order to improve visual acuity. [2] [3] LASIK is very similar to another surgical corrective procedure, photorefractive keratectomy (PRK ...

3. FDA Warns of Potential Side Effects Associated With LASIK Surgery

   LASIK is an elective procedure that corrects people’s vision, allowing them to have better sight without the use of corrective lenses. Experts explain what the surgery is and what patients ...

4. Refractive surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_surgery

   Recovery time is longer with PRK than with LASIK, though the outcome (after 3 months) is about the same (very good). 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 ...

5. Small incision lenticule extraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_incision_lenticule...

   The small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) procedure was first published in 2011 by Walter Sekundo et al. [7] [10] Various modifications of the procedure have since then been described which aim to reduce the duration of the procedure, reduce the risks of the lenticules being incorrectly cut or make the procedure easier to learn.

6. Contoura Vision - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contoura_vision

   The technology reduces side effects linked with laser procedures like LASIK and SMILE. [1] It was FDA approved in the US in 2016. The method provides measurement of 22,000 points as compared to 200 points provided by wave front-guided LASIK method. The imperfections in the cornea are recorded and then corrected using a laser.

7. Laser blended vision - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_blended_vision

   Laser Blended Vision can be achieved through laser eye surgery, usually performed as LASIK, although surface laser eye surgery PRK or LASEK can be used to produce the effect. Laser Blended Vision works by increasing the depth of field of each eye through subtle changes in the optics of the corneal spherical aberration . [ 2 ]
