LASIK
LASIK reshapes the cornea using laser technology to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. This permanent solution eliminates daily reliance on glasses or contacts, offering rapid recovery and 25+ years of proven safety. Ideal for patients aged 1845 with stable prescriptions.
EVO ICL
EVO ICL involves inserting a biocompatible collamer lens to correct high myopia and astigmatism. As a reversible alternative to LASIK, it provides UV protection and immediate visual clarity. Suitable for patients with thin corneas or prescriptions beyond LASIK's range.
Refractive Lens Exchange
This procedure replaces the eyes natural lens with an advanced intraocular lens to address presbyopia and cataract risk. It corrects astigmatism and eliminates future cataract development, ideal for patients over 40 seeking long-term visual freedom.
SMILE
SMILE corrects nearsightedness through a minimally invasive keyhole incision, removing corneal tissue without flap creation. With faster healing than traditional LASIK, its preferred for patients with active lifestyles or dry eye concerns.
PRK
PRK reshapes the corneas surface using an excimer laser, making it ideal for patients with thin corneas unsuitable for LASIK. Though recovery takes 4872 hours, it offers comparable long-term results for correcting refractive errors.
