| LASIK |
(laser in-Situ Keratomileusis) is a form of laser treatment for individuals with higher degrees of myopia (greater than 5 diopters). LASIK is similar to PRK with the exception that a specialized cutting instrument known as a microkeratome is used first to produce a thin flap on the outside of the cornea. This superficial flap is then gently folded back so that the laser may reach and remove deeper layers of corneal tissue. ...

| LASIK |
Laser Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, or LASIK, combines PRK with elements of ALK. LASIK is considered effective for all levels of myopia, including high myopia up to -20 diopters. The ophthalmologist uses the automated microkeratome to shave off a thin, hinged layer of the cornea. The surgeon then uses the excimer laser to vaporize a thin layer of the underlying cornea, and the top flap is restored to its place. ...

| LASIK |
A surgical procedure in which a laser or microkeratome is used to create a surface layer of corneal tissue (flap) that can be reflected out of the way so that a laser re-surfacing treatment may be applied underneath. The flap is returned to its original position and heals very quickly.
