Laser vision correction is a procedure that improves vision by permanently changing the shape of the cornea via the use of a laser. Often referred to as LASIK Eye Surgery it is the most commonly performed type of laser procedure and an effective treatment for a wide range of vision problems. It has been accepted worldwide as a valid permanent alternative to wearing glasses or contact lens. LASIK can be both effective and affordable with many people finding that the cost of replacing glasses and contact lenses over many years can easily exceed the cost of LASIK surgery.
The brand new LASIK Centre at Bangkok Hospital Phuket provides you with the very latest Excimer laser technology. This ultra modern technology was developed to include more features such as an Eye Tracker System, more accurate Astigmatism correcting Program (TED), Multipoint laser program, an increased ability to save more corneal area and reducing night vision problems.
The LASIK Centre at Bangkok Hospital Phuket also performs PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) surgery. PRK is a refractive eye surgery that uses a laser to correct mild to moderate nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It has some similarities to LASIK eye surgery, but can offer vision correction to patients with a flat or steep cornea and who are therefore not good candidates for LASIK eye surgery.
Conditions treated by LASIK and PRK
- Myopia – Nearsightedness
- Hyperopia – Farsightedness
- Astigmatism – Distorted vision
- Presbyopia - Diminished ability to focus that occurs with aging
