Laser refractive surgery is a group of procedures that use lasers to correct vision problems like nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. It’s an elective surgery, meaning it’s not medically necessary but can improve your quality of life by reducing or eliminating your dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) is another type of laser vision correction surgery, similar to LASIK, but with some key differences in the procedure and recovery process.
