A representative vision correction surgery that corrects refraction using a laser after creating a flap in the cornea. Recovery is fast.
LASIK is a surgical procedure that corrects refractive errors (myopia and astigmatism) by creating a thin flap on the surface of the cornea and reshaping the area underneath with a laser. Its advantages include rapid vision recovery and minimal pain.
Creating a flap allows for faster recovery and less pain. However, if you have a thin cornea or engage in occupation or exercise involving frequent external impact, a suitability test is important.
Corneal thickness and condition must be checked through a precise examination before surgery, and temporary dry eyes and glare may occur.
LASIK offers a fast recovery, while LASEK is resistant to external impact as it lacks a flap. The choice depends on corneal thickness and lifestyle.
Although the corrective effect lasts for a long time, it can change depending on lifestyle habits, such as excessive close-range work, so a precise examination is important.
