Types of operations
There are different types of laser vision correction:
Super Lasik- one of the most popular methods today. It is carried out taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient's body, so it gives the best results.
Individual features of the structure of the cornea, she does not take into account, so the effectiveness is lower than Super Lasik. Such operations are still conducted in those clinics where there is no more modern equipment.
Femto Lasik- this type of intervention involves cutting a cornea with a special femto-laser (and not a microkeratome).
Femto Super Lasik- The operation is carried out according to the same principles as Femto Lasik, but necessarily takes into account the individual features of the structure of the eye.
Presbye Lasik- Changes in the imaging of objects at close range are taken into account in the framework of laser vision correction. The main goal of the intervention is to provide an excellent vision without glasses of objects that are at any distance from the patient's eye.
KFK- A gentle method of correction, which can be resorted to even if there are contraindications to other procedures (for example, too thin cornea). The recovery period after PRK is not long, not painful.
Epi-Lasik- used rarely, suitable for patients with thin cornea.
