what are the different types of LASIKs and what is the price?

1Answer

Regular LASIK: in this procedure a surgical scalpel (surgical blade) – is used to remove a part of the cornea (called a flap) so that the surgeon can beam the lasers on the cornea to change its shape, to correct vision errors, short sightedness, and astigmatism.

FemtoLASIK: Procedure remains same as above, the only difference being that instead of a surgical blade the doctor will use a laser to remove a part of the cornea (createa a flap) and go ahead with the procedure. The flap created is also much smaller that in regular LASIK.

SMILE LASIK: This is the most advanced procedure. In SMILE LASIK, no flap is created. It is a minimally invasive procedure and patient can avoid all risks associated with creation of a flap.
