Understanding Your Laser Eye Surgery Options
Choosing laser eye surgery is a big step toward clearer vision and greater freedom from glasses or contacts. But it’s important to know that not all laser surgeries are the same. Each type is designed to meet different vision needs and eye conditions.
At Airdrie Family Eye Doctors, we believe in empowering you with clear, detailed information so you can make the best choice for your eyes and lifestyle.
LASIK is one of the most popular laser eye surgeries worldwide. It works by creating a thin, precise flap in the cornea, which the laser then reshapes to correct your vision underneath. This approach allows for quick healing and minimal discomfort.
Many patients experience clearer vision within the first 24 hours, with a full recovery often completed in just a few weeks. LASIK is ideal for people looking for a fast, effective way to reduce their dependence on glasses or contacts, and who have corneas thick enough to support the procedure.
PRK offers an excellent alternative for those who are not suitable candidates for LASIK, such as patients with thinner corneas or specific eye conditions. Instead of creating a flap, PRK gently removes the outer layer of the cornea to allow the laser to reshape the underlying tissue.
While the recovery period is a bit longer compared to LASIK, many patients find that PRK delivers outstanding vision correction with lasting results. This procedure can be a great choice for those who want the benefits of laser vision correction but need a treatment tailored to their eye structure.
Taking the Next Step
If laser eye surgery is right for you, we’ll refer you to a trusted ophthalmologist for the procedure. Our team stays involved every step of the way, from preparing you with detailed pre-op instructions to supporting your recovery with follow-up care and guidance.
