Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis, known as LASIK, is surgery that is performed with a laser to correct your vision by changing the thickness/shape of your cornea.
Uses an excimer laser to reshape the cornea. ASLA/PRK (Advanced Surface Laser Ablation Surgery) lasers directly onto the collagen surface of the cornea.
Involves removing the lens from inside the eye and replacing it with an artificial lens which is customized to the shape and length of the eye. Intraocular lens options include distance or multifocal options.
The Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) is an advanced, thin, clear lens that functions similarly to a contact lens; however it is surgically implanted into the eye. The ICL cannot be felt while in the eye, requires no maintenance and can be removed if needed. The ICL does not replace your natural lens but is implanted in front of your natural lens and behind your iris (the coloured part of the eye).
