There are different laser eye surgery treatments; LASIK and LASEK, depending on your suitability and requirements. Options for surgery treatment are either a conventional or femtosecond IntraLase procedure.
1. LASIK is a surgical treatment for both short-sighted and long-sighted people and those with an astigmatism.
LASIK (Laser-Assisted-In-Situ Keratomileusis) eye surgery is currently the most frequently performed elective procedure in the world and at Optical Express. LASIK eye surgery is a highly effective procedure that is suitable for most low, moderate and high prescriptions. LASIK eye surgery uses a cool beam of light from the excimer laser to gently reshape the front surface (cornea) of your eye.

2. Lasek is a surgical treatment for short-sightedness, long-sightedness and astigmatism and is used mostly for people who have thin or flat corneas.
LASEK (Laser-Assisted-Epithelial Keratomileusis) eye surgery is an alternative laser refractive procedure to correct short sightedness, long sightedness and astigmatism. LASEK eye surgery is sometimes referred to as “Epi-LASEK.”
