LASIK is one of the most commonly used myopia operations at present. In LASIK surgery, doctors will use laser or microkeratome to make a thin and foldable corneal flap. Then the inner layer of cornea is irradiated by laser to change its curvature, thus correcting myopia. Finally, the doctor will put the corneal flap back in place.
In contrast, LASEK is more suitable for patients with thin cornea or high curvature. In LASEK surgery, the doctor first gently separated from the corneal epithelium and corrected the exposed cornea with laser. Then, the doctor will replace the epithelium and cover it with protective contact lenses to promote healing.
According to your myopia degree of 475, according to the doctor's advice and individual differences, LASIK may be a more common choice. However, we strongly recommend that you make a detailed evaluation and consultation with an experienced ophthalmologist before operation to determine the most suitable surgical method for you.
In addition, femtosecond technology (such as full femtosecond laser) has become the standard of modern myopia correction surgery. Femtosecond laser can accurately cut cornea, providing higher safety and predictability. Femtosecond surgery is usually more accurate and less invasive than traditional mechanical cutting methods (such as microkeratome), and it also reduces the risk of some complications.
