Comment posted Give the Difference Between Lasik and Laser Eye Surgery? by David E.

A laser is a tool that can be used several ways on the eye. The most logical question for you to have intended is to ask the difference between LASIK and PRK. The quick answer to that question is that LASIK has less pain and a quicker recovery time. PRK may give better long term results in some cases. The link below gives even better information.

  • There are several types of laser eye surgery; The most common are listed below:

    a) Laser Photocoagulation for Retinal Treatment

    b) Yag Laser Capsulotomy for After Cataract treatment

    c) Laser Treatment for Glaucoma

    d) Laser Vision Correction

    LASIK is a type of Laser Vision Correction Surgery. Obviously a) through c) are not alternatives for LASIK. So I suppose that was not really your question.

    There are different types of laser vision correction surgery. One is LASIK, the other is PRK, a third (similar to PRK) is LASEK or Epi-LASIK. While this is confusing, LASIK is the most popular, and over 90% of all laser vision correction surgery is LASIK. PRK and Epi-LASIK have more post-operative pain, and a longer visual recovery. Generally, they should be done when the cornea is thin, or there is some surface corneal disorder. Otherwise, LASIK is perhaps the best alternative.

  • There are several different types of laser eye surgery. And there are different types of lasers that can be used in eye surgery depending upon what the surgeon is wanting to accomplish. For instance, the surgeon could use a yag laser to treat secondary cataracts. Or the surgeon could use an argon laser to perform iridotomies or possibly to treat leaking blood vessels in the retina. Or the surgeon could use an excimer laser to correct vision disorders such as near sightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. This is the laser you are probably referring to.

  • Lasik Eye Procedure – What Happens During a Lasik Eye Surgery
    Lasik eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and Lasik surgery in India by a company called Indian Health Guru Consultants. The Price for dental and Lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.

    Indian Health Guru Consultants is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, Lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.
    They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

    Less than 20 minutes, although you will need to have time to recuperate after the surgery (keep your eyes closed). I’ve laid out the step by step of the process and even included a video of the surgery itself at http://www.wika-lasik.com

  • What is 20/20 Vision?
    I HAVE 20/20 but when you see how many ppl have glasses/contacts, it makes me think about 20% because even if you dont have them, you probably dont have 20/20 or even 19/20! lol

    13? Lasik at 13 years old? That’s interesting.

    Anyway…

    LASIK is a very brief procedure. If everything goes well, it should be done in 15 minutes or less.

    It’s usually done while the patient is awake. Topical (eye drops) anesthesia is used. Its not that uncomfortable to the patient.

  • Do You Need Eye Surgery?
    I personally only know one child who had this defect. While I have temporarily lost contact with the family (military family, moved), he still had not needed to have surgery and he had just had his 3rd birthday.
