What Is Laser Eye Surgery?

Laser eye surgery is a vision correction procedure that reshapes your cornea to correct refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, and presbyopia.

Laser eye surgery such as LASIK or PRK can reduce the need to wear glasses or contact lenses and has become an extremely popular procedure.

At Toronto Medical Eye Associates, our laser eye surgery consultation will consist of testing such as:

Medical evaluation of your cornea
Counselling on refractive surgery options
Review of eye history and refractive stability

Exploring Your Laser Vision Correction Options

At Toronto Medical Eye Associates, we offer consultations for LASIK and PRK refractive surgery options.

LASIK Eye Surgery

LASIK eye surgery is the most commonly performed laser vision correction option currently available.

In eyes with perfect vision, the cornea bends light with precision onto the retina at the back of the eye. Refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia can distort that light and cause blurry vision.

LASIK vision correction is a quick procedure that usually only takes 30 minutes or less. During the procedure, your surgeon uses a laser to create a small flap away from the front of your eye to access the part of your cornea that needs reshaping. Your surgeon will then carefully begin the reshaping process and, once completed, will place the flap into place.

Following the surgery, it takes around 2 to 3 months for your eyes to heal and your vision to fully stabilize. Our team will work with you and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor the healing process.

Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK)

PRK laser eye surgery predates LASIK surgery and is a similar procedure. During the PRK procedure, the eye surgeon removes the cornea’s surface layer and reshapes the corneal bed with the laser, similar to LASIK.

PRK is a good option for people whose cornea may be too thin to safely allow for the corneal flap needed for LASIK. Another difference between PRK and LASIK is the recovery time. PRK recovery and vision stabilization are slower than LASIK, and some patients may feel more discomfort following PRK surgery.
