There are many patients that are experiencing difficulty when it comes to the conventional LASIK procedure. Some have too thin of a cornea from Keratoconus or other conditions. While some merely have too large of pupils to have the procedure done properly. PRK or No Cut LASEK is a great alternative to this treatment and as a treatment for Keratoconus.

Below are additional benefits of the No Cut LASEK procedure:

Less Invasive Than the LASIK Procedures

Avoids deep flap created in Traditional LASIK that could weaken the eye

Procedure takes about 5-10 minutes

No Cuts

The No Cut LASEK procedure takes about 5-10 minutes per eye and requires no flap to be created during the procedure, essentially no cuts. This allows those with reserved feelings about the traditional LASIK procedure to have some peace of mind.

Many people over the years have grown skeptical of Classic Lasik procedures that though the procedure has advanced in many ways don’t feel comfortable with the option of Lasik in any form. PRK or No Cut LASEK can benefit those with apprehension over Lasik, or have thinner corneas and are not good candidates for the Lasik procedure all together. These procedures have also benefited those who have had RK (Radial Keratotomy) or Cornea Transplant.

Individuals with Keratoconus who have had their Keratoconus stabilized by Holcomb C3R ®, but have a residual can sometimes consider this less invasive laser treatment.

PRK and No Cut LASEK:

Many of us are familiar with Lasik surgery. And for those of us who couldn’t get Lasik because your cornea thickness was too thin or you just had too many reservations on the procedure altogether PRK and No-Cut LASEK could be your answer. Both PRK and No-Cut LASEK can treat people with nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It is a short procedure usually only taking 5-10 minutes to complete.

The procedures simply involve the doctor moving the surface layer of skin from the cornea and using a laser to reshape it. The new layer of skin grows back within a few days with little to no pain. In this procedure there is no flap creation making it much less involved, and an even faster recovery time.

Who Can Benefit from PRK and LASEK:

Patients that are apprehensive about Lasik

Patients that have thinner Cornea thickness and are good candidates for Lasik

Patients that have had previous RK (Radial Keratotomy)
