LASIK vs. PRK: What’s the difference?
Both LASIK and PRK are advanced laser vision correction procedures designed to improve vision and reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses. The right option depends on your eye health and lifestyle.
LASIK
• A small flap is created, then the laser reshapes the cornea
• Often recommended for patients with thicker corneas
• Excellent long-term results
PRK
• The surface layer of the cornea is removed before the laser reshapes it
• Often recommended for patients with thinner corneas or higher risk of eye trauma
• Equally stable long-term results
Both procedures are quick, effective, and typically painless during the procedure. A comprehensive eye exam helps determine which option may be best for you.
