Alternatives to Lasik
You may want to discuss some surgical alternatives to Lasik with your eye doctor:
- Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) is a laser procedure used to reduce myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism without creating a corneal flap.
- Astigmatic keratotomy (AK) is an incisional procedure to reduce astigmatism.
- Intrastromal corneal rings are clear, thin, polymer inlays placed on the eye to correct low myopia only.
