With traditional LASIK a microkeratome is used to create a layer of tissue across the surface of the eye. This flap of tissue is hinged on one side and is folded back; the excimer laser is then used to reshape the underlying tissue. Following the treatment the flap is laid back in place.

With IntraLASIK, the precision of a laser is used to create the corneal flap. IntraLASIK is the first all-computerized, all-laser (Blade-free) LASIK

PRK

Photorefractive keratectomy

PRK uses the excimer laser to reshape an area approximately six millimeters in diameter on the surface of the eye (cornea). The cool beam of light gently pulses to remove microscopic amounts of tissue allowing images to be more sharply focused. The procedure typically removes about the thickness of one human hair from the eye.
