LASER EYE SURGERY

There are 2 main methods of laser eye surgery:

1. LASIK Laser Eye Surgery
2. PRK Laser Eye Surgery

The major difference between the two surgeries is the way that the stroma, the middle layer of the cornea, is exposed before it is vaporized with the laser. In PRK, the top layer of the cornea, called the epithelium, is scraped away to expose the stromal layer underneath. In LASIK, a flap is cut in the stromal layer and the flap is folded back.

This guide provides an overview of laser eye surgery, including possible complications of treatment.
