LASIK (LASer-assisted In situ Keratomileusis) with the Excimer Laser, is the most performed hypermetropia surgery in the context of refractive surgery in USA. Its popularity comes from its advantages: patients recall no pain sensations and experience vision improvement as soon as a day after. This kind of surgery uses a specific instrument called microkeratome to create a thin circular layer (or flap) on the corneal surface.
This process is used to correct hypermetropia, myopia and also astigmatism.
This eye laser surgery is technically complex, but it by far the most comfortable for patients that want to treat myopia. This laser surgery has higher costs if compared to PRK.
