LASIK vs EVO ICL vs PRK
Compare laser correction, implantable lenses, and flapless PRK by corneal thickness, prescription strength, dry-eye risk, and recovery time.

Every All-Laser LASIK procedure begins with detailed corneal mapping and wavefront analysis. We measure the curvature, thickness, and unique optical fingerprint of each eye - including how light travels through your entire visual system - so the treatment plan is built from your diagnostics, not a generic protocol.
Instead of a blade, a femtosecond laser creates a thin, precise corneal flap using rapid pulses of light. The flap is gently lifted to expose the corneal tissue underneath. This blade-free step is what makes modern LASIK so consistent and safe.
The excimer laser then reshapes the underlying cornea according to your custom wavefront- and topography-guided map - correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The laser tracks your eye in real time and the reshaping itself takes only seconds per eye.
The flap is folded back into its original position, where it adheres naturally without stitches and begins healing almost immediately. Most patients notice clearer vision within hours and return to normal activities within a day or two.
Questions about the procedure? We'll walk you through all of it.
