The \u201cbest type of LASIK\u201d differs for every patient, owing to unique refractive errors, visual requirements, and overall health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The different types of LASIK eye surgery include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Conventional LASIK<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bladeless (Femto) LASIK<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wavefront-Guided LASIK<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Topography-Guided LASIK<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PRK<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SMILE<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conventional_LASIK_Surgery\"><\/span>Conventional LASIK Surgery<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Conventional LASIK&nbsp; involves creating a flap in the cornea with a mechanical blade (microkeratome). Once a flap is created, lifted, and placed to the side, the corneal tissue is reshaped using an excimer laser. Once reshaped, the corneal flap is positioned back in place. This procedure effectively corrects myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>FEATURE<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>DETAILS<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Flap creation<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Yes (microkeratome blade)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Pain&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">No&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Procedure time<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">20 minutes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Corrects&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Moderate refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Recovery time<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1 week<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Complications&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Common (dry eyes, halos, glare, starbursts around light; may take a few months to clear up)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bladeless_LASIK\"><\/span>Bladeless LASIK&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bladeless LASIK (e.g., <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sohanaeyehospital.com\/refractive-suite\/femto-lasik-eye-surgery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Femto LASIK<\/a>), as the name suggests, does not use a blade to create the corneal flap.

The surgery simply involves removing the top epithelial layer of the cornea to reshape the underlying tissue. The epithelium naturally grows back, and the cornea heals, getting its original state back during the recovery period. This is ideal for individuals with thin corneas. The surgery typically comes with a longer recovery time but provides results similar to LASIK and longer visual stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>FEATURE<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>DETAILS<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Flap creation<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">No&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Pain&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">No&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Procedure time<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10-15 minutes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Corrects&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Recovery time<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">5-7 days (can take 3-6 months for complete visual stabilisation)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Complications&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Minimal side effects<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SMILE_Pro_laser_surgery\"><\/span>SMILE Pro (laser surgery)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sohanaeyehospital.com\/refractive-suite\/smile-pro-eye-surgery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SMILE Pro<\/a> or Small Incision Lenticule Extraction Pro is a bladeless, flapless, minimally invasive laser specs removal surgery.
