Understanding Your Vision Correction Options
LASIK and PRK are revolutionary laser vision correction procedures that reshape your cornea to improve sight. While both procedures achieve similar results, they use different approaches. LASIK creates a small flap in the cornea’s outer layer, while PRK removes the surface layer, which naturally regenerates during healing.
