Eye Surgery Guide: LASIK, PRK, SMILE, ICL for Clear Vision

• Increased screen time contributes to a rise in myopia, prompting many to seek permanent solutions to spectacle discomfort.

• Popular refractive eye surgeries include LASIK (flap-based laser reshaping), PRK (outer layer removal, longer recovery), and SMILE (flapless, small incision lenticule extraction).
• ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) is an option for very high spectacle power or thin corneas, involving lens implantation and offering reversibility.
• Choosing the right procedure, guided by an ophthalmologist, is essential for achieving spectacle-free vision and high patient satisfaction.
