Laser Eye Surgery Consultation in Calgary

PRK is another popular type of vision correction surgery. While it is similar to LASIK, if you are getting PRK surgery, your surgeon will remove the outer layer of your cornea instead of keeping it intact like they do during LASIK.

PRK also corrects refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. It can be a safer laser eye surgery for people with thin corneas.

Advanced surface ablation is a progressive form of PRK.

During this procedure, your surgeon will use an alcohol-based solution to remove the outermost surface of the cornea before reshaping it with laser treatment.

SMILE laser eye surgery is an alternative to LASIK that is performed to correct nearsightedness.

SMILE eye surgery is performed using a femtosecond laser to create a small opening within the cornea to extract a tissue in your eye called the lenticule.

After the lenticule is removed, the shape of the cornea is altered to correct nearsightedness.

ICL is a type of laser eye surgery where an artificial lens is permanently implanted in the eye to treat refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.

During ICL surgery, a surgeon will make small incisions between the front of your eye and natural lens. Your surgeon will then place an artificial lens between the eye’s natural lens and colored iris to produce clearer vision.

Refractive lens exchange is a type of laser surgery best for people with presbyopia or high hyperopia. 

During this procedure, your surgeon will replace your eye’s natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to correct your vision. RLE surgery can help you achieve clearer vision while reducing your need for glasses or contact lenses.
