Refractive surgery
Determining which refractive surgery is best for you is as important as weather or not you are a candidate. While most patients think that LASIK, which is the most advertized surgery, is the best, PRK may be better for you. Depending on corneal thickness, shape and several other factors will determine which procedure will give you the best result and reduce the likelihood of future complications.
The worst complication could be Ectasia, which results in poor, uncorrectable vision, that may require special hard contact lenses or a corneal transplant to correct. In our office, we take special care to determine which procedure will get the best result and reduce potential future complications. The best care, in the best office is crucial with surgical procedures like LASIK and PRK.
