Learn About Each Procedure

Which ProcedureIs Right for You?

Every patient's eyes are different. During your consultation, we'll recommend the procedure that best matches your prescription, corneal anatomy, lifestyle, and visual goals.

LASIK

Most Popular

LASIK

LASIK is the most commonly performed laser vision correction procedure worldwide. A thin corneal flap is created, allowing the excimer laser to precisely reshape the cornea for clearer vision. Most patients experience rapid visual recovery and minimal discomfort.

Fast visual recovery
Minimal discomfort
Excellent for many common prescriptions
SMILE

Minimally Invasive

SMILE

SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) reshapes the cornea through a tiny incision without creating a corneal flap. It preserves more of the corneal surface and may reduce postoperative dry eye symptoms in selected patients.

Tiny incision
No corneal flap
Reduced dry eye risk for suitable candidates
PRK

Flap-Free

PRK

PRK reshapes the surface of the cornea without creating a flap. Although recovery takes slightly longer than LASIK, it remains an excellent option for patients with thinner corneas or certain occupational and athletic requirements.

No corneal flap
Suitable for thinner corneas
Excellent long-term results
ICL

Premium Lens Option

ICL

Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICL) provide excellent vision correction for patients with higher prescriptions or those who may not be ideal candidates for laser procedures. The natural lens remains in place while the ICL is implanted behind the iris.

Excellent for high prescriptions
Preserves the cornea
Removable if needed
Comprehensive laser vision correction evaluation
