LASIK vs Alternatives

Learn why modern LASIK eye surgery is our trusted option vs other vision correction procedures.

Why We Recommend LASIK vs Alternatives

Modern LASIK Eye Surgery is safer, more affordable, and easier than ever thanks to advancements in lasers, diagnostics technology, and physicians experience.

LASIK maintains a better reputation than other procedures due to its extensive clinical research, rapid recovery, and high patient satisfaction. According to the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, LASIK has one of the highest satisfaction rates of any elective procedure.

LASIK is typically more affordable than alternatives due to its shorter procedure time, less invasive technique, and broader availability. This combination results in lower overall costs. Additionally, discounts and financing options make LASIK accessible for a broader range of budgets.

Procedure	Affordability	Reputation	Recovery & Process	Technology
LASIK (Modern,Custom,Bladeless,Femto)	More affordable than alternatives, widely available.	Most popular vision correction surgery.	Fastest recovery—improved vision within 24 hours.	Advanced FDA-approved laser technology.
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)	Similar to LASIK but longer recovery.	Best for thin corneas or dry eyes.	Healing takes days to weeks.	Excimer laser reshapes cornea without a flap.
SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction)	Comparable to LASIK but often costs more.	Gaining recognition, fewer long-term studies.	Minimally invasive, longer recovery.	Uses femtosecond laser but lacks LASIK customization.
LASEK (Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis)	Similar to PRK but longer healing time.	Less common today.	Longer recovery than PRK and LASIK.	Uses alcohol solution to loosen cornea before reshaping.
Ortho-K (Orthokeratology)	High upfront cost, ongoing expenses for lenses.	Non-surgical but requires lifetime lens wear.	Not permanent; must wear lenses nightly.	Rigid lenses temporarily reshape cornea.
RLE (Refractive Or Clear Lens Exchange)	More expensive than LASIK due to surgery.	Similar to cataract surgery, mainly for older patients.	Longer recovery, potential complications.	Removes natural lens, replaces with implant.
EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens)	Much more expensive than LASIK.	Increasing popularity, but requires surgery.	Implantable lens remains permanently.	Uses a biocompatible lens but requires invasive surgery.

Modern LASIK (Bladeless, Custom, iLASIK, Femto-LASIK)

Why Choose Modern LASIK?

- Fastest healing time (24 hours) - Minimally invasive, low discomfort - Highest precision with femtosecond laser - Most patients achieve 20/20 or better vision

Traditional LASIK (Bladed, Microkeratome LASIK)

Why We Don’t Recommend It:

- Higher risk of complications - Uneven flap cuts, potential vision distortions - Longer recovery time than Modern LASIK - Uses outdated mechanical blade technology

PRK

Best for:

- Patients with thin corneas or dry eyes - Those who want LASIK-like results but can't have a flap

Key Considerations:

- Longer healing time than LASIK - Slightly more discomfort post-surgery - Still delivers excellent long-term results

Vision Correction Options

Modern LASIK provides fast recovery and high precision, while PRK is ideal for patients with thin corneas or dry eyes. We trust and recommend these procedures due to their proven safety, effectiveness, and strong track record supported by extensive clinical research.

While LASIK and PRK are highly effective vision correction options, every patient's eyes are unique. A trusted ophthalmologist can assess your eye health, prescription, and lifestyle needs to determine your options. Always consult with a trusted medical provider before making any vision correction decision.
