LASIK vs. PRK, laser vision correction, LASEK, epi-LASIK - A State of Sight #6

Ғылым және технология

Isaac Porter, MD explains the differences between LASIK and PRK and the advantages of each procedure in A State of Sight. Many patients will have a choice between LASIK and PRK when they decide to have laser vision correction. In this episode, Dr. Porter outlines the differences that can help patients decide between the two procedures. Some patients with thin corneas may not qualify for LASIK, so their only option is PRK. Others with outer layer corneal haze (anterior basement membrane dystrophy) may benefit more from PRK than LASIK. LASIK may be preferred in patients that are very nearsighted to reduce the risk of haze after surgery.

    I am considering PRK eye procedure and I have read that Bowman's layer is removed during the procedure. What about LASEK, is Bowman's layer removed as well. Is there any drawback of removing Bowman's layer in a long run.

    Tell still, please. What percent of risk of the Fog, on modern laser devices? I am declined already to Trans-PRK, tell I correctly I do with such myopia, or you don't recommend?

    It is Russian joke :-) I in confusion, to me offer Trans-PRK on Shwind Amaris 500E, and I read about Custom Lasik, data allow (a cornea of 534/535 microns, OD-8.5, OS-8.75) But the doctor as it seemed to me, lobbies Trans-PRK. Can you will advise? To agree, or it is better to make Custom Lasik in other clinic? (It is translated from Russian - translate.ru)

    Generally, accutane (for acne) and amiodarone (for arrythmias) are contraindiated with laser vision correction. Also, medications in the tryptan family for migraines may be contraindicated, but these are less absolute. Surgeons regularly give xanax type medications to help patients relax before and during the procedure. Thanks for the question!
