LASIK is by far the most popular vision correction procedure out there. But it's not the only procedure. We also offer PRK, a common alternative to LASIK that actually predates the uber popular procedure. LASIK and PRK are very similar in that they both deliver the same results: crystal clear vision without the need for glasses or contacts. The way the procedures are performed and their respective recovery times are the two most common differences. Dr. Matej Polomsky of Wilmington Eye explains in detail the differences between LASIK and PRK and which types of patients should consider PRK over LASIK. While your surgeon will ultimately determine which procedure is best for your vision, it's important to understand that there are several options available for vision correction.
