Center refractive laser or LASIK.
Treatment of refractive vision problems using laser to separate the corneal layer — different from traditional LASIK in that the corneal flap is created with laser instead of a blade (Bladeless LASIK), separating the corneal layer perfectly: the laser focuses beneath the corneal surface with high precision and scans gently along the curve of the cornea.
A treatment for refractive vision problems enabling clear vision at both near and far distances: the dominant eye is corrected primarily for distance vision, while the non-dominant eye is left slightly nearsighted for close-up vision. Using both eyes together, you can see well at both near and far distances without relying on glasses.
Permanent surgical vision correction that fixes nearsightedness without creating a corneal flap: the outermost corneal surface layer (epithelium) is removed first, then an Excimer Laser reshapes the corneal curvature directly — producing few side effects and correcting vision permanently. PRK predates LASIK by decades and remains in use today.
Permanent surgical correction of refractive vision problems using a Microkeratome to create a corneal flap about one-third of the cornea's total thickness, then an Excimer Laser sculpts the middle corneal tissue to change the overall curvature before the flap is repositioned. Vision returns immediately, though it may not be fully sharp on the first day.
