------------------ ARTICLE START ------------------

If you are sick of wearing glasses or fiddling with contacts,

you should consider laser eye surgery.

Laser surgery to correct your vision is a well tested procedure

but is not for everyone so do not enter into it lightly. Done

as outpatient surgery, most people are back to their normal

routines in a couple of days and some report improved vision

upon waking the next day!

There are a couple of procedures avaialbe and each has

different recovery and vision improvement times - you should

discuss each option with your doctor to find out which is best

for your needs.

Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) is the most well

known. In this procedure, a flap is cut in the cornea and then

tissue is removed to reshape it. This surgery is fast and has a

quick healing time of 2 days with immediate improvement in

sight.

Photo Refractive Keratectomy (PRK) is the oldest of the

procedures. This surgery reshapes the cornea by removing cells

from the surface. The healing time is quite long – a month or

more and there is a gradual improvement of vision over time.

Conductive Keratoplasty (CK) is a fairly new procedure. This

surgery takes under ½ hour and has a very quick recovery time.

It uses radio frequency energy to reshape the cornea and

restore vision. This new procedure uses no laser or knife and

is quite promising.

Although fairly safe, laser eye surgery is not fool-proof and

in some cases may not work or in the worst case, you could end

up with worse eye sight than before the procedure. Not everyone

is a good candidate for the procedure and those with certain

medical conditions such as glaucoma, diabetes or other eye

disease should discuss this option with their doctor.
