Laser Vision Correction (LASIK & PRK)
At Infinity Vision Laser Centre, we understand that every eye is unique. That is why we offer the two most proven and effective forms of laser eye surgery in the world: LASIK and PRK. While they differ in technique and recovery time, they share the same ultimate goal: to reshape your cornea with microscopic precision, correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism to give you the visual freedom you deserve.
⚡ LASIK: The Gold Standard for Speed
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is the most popular elective surgery in the world, known for its “wow” factor. It is the preferred choice for patients seeking immediate results and minimal downtime.
How it Works:
Using a femtosecond laser, a thin, microscopic flap is created on the cornea. The flap is gently lifted, and an excimer laser reshapes the underlying tissue. The flap is then smoothed back into place, acting as a natural bandage.
Why Choose LASIK?
🚀 Instant Gratification: Most patients wake up the next morning with 20/20 vision or better.
😌 Comfort: The procedure is virtually painless, with very little discomfort during recovery.
📅 Back to Routine: You can typically return to work and driving within 24 hours.
🛡️ PRK: Maximum Safety & Stability
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is the original laser vision correction procedure. While the technology has evolved, the principle remains the safest option for specific eye types. It offers the same high-definition results as LASIK but without creating a corneal flap.
How it Works:
Instead of creating a flap, the surgeon gently removes the ultra-thin outer layer of the cornea (epithelium). The laser then reshapes the surface of the eye directly. A protective contact lens is placed on the eye for a few days while the surface heals naturally.
Why Choose PRK?
🥋 Ideal for Athletes: With no flap, there is zero risk of flap dislocation, making it perfect for boxers, martial artists, and military personnel.
📉 Thin Corneas: If you have been told your corneas are too thin for LASIK, PRK is often the safest and most effective alternative.
💧 Dry Eye Friendly: PRK generally disrupts fewer corneal nerves, which can be beneficial for patients prone to dry eyes.
⚖️ Which Procedure is Right for Me?
The decision between LASIK and PRK is rarely a matter of preference—it is a matter of anatomy and lifestyle. During your comprehensive consultation, we will map your eye in 3D to determine the best path for you.
Choose LASIK if: You want the fastest recovery and have standard corneal thickness.
Choose PRK if: You have thin corneas, dry eyes, or a high-impact lifestyle/profession.
The Bottom Line:
Regardless of the method, the long-term visual outcome is identical. Both procedures utilize our advanced laser technology to deliver sharp, clear, and lasting vision.
