| 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.
