Know your Options

The decision to have vision correction surgery is an important one. This document briefly compares the three most common corrective eye procedures: Visian ICL, LASIK, and PRK. We look forward to discussing your options with you.

The ICL

The ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) is a corrective lens placed inside the eye to improve vision without removing corneal tissue, ideal for patients with high prescriptions or dry eyes.

LASIK

LASIK is a two-step laser vision correction surgery where a flap is made on the surface of the eye called the cornea, and the underlying layers are reshaped with an excimer laser to correct vision.

PRK

PRK is a laser vision procedure similar to LASIK but no corneal flap is created. The top layer of the cornea called epithelium is removed, and the underlying tissue is reshaped to correct vision.
