Most people take for granted your vision, especially if they have never suffered from poor vision. For many there is no option, except for eye surgery. Other people have the corrective surgery, and he is always tired with the goggles. As you start your eye surgery options considered, you will notice that it uses many new techniques in corrective eye surgery. How to choose the right approach? What are the differences between LASIK and Epi-LASIK surgery are back? The difference between LASIK and Epi-LASIK surgery Epi-LASIK and LASIK are different procedures for corrective eye surgery. These procedures reduce or eliminate the need for a person with glasses or contact lenses. Until recently, the usual procedure of corrective actions had LASIK eye surgery. LASIK laser in situ keratomileusis means is supported, and this process essentially changes the shape of the cornea of the eye by a laser. During the procedure cuts a flap in the cornea and then show the door with his back to the middle portion of the cornea is folded. The laser changes the shape of the cornea and the flap is repositioned. Epi-LASIK is a corrective eye procedure was developed by LASIK. It has combined the best elements of LASIK, LASEK and PRK in one. It is the separation of the epithelial cells of the upper part of the cornea, and this eliminates the need to cut the cornea and a flap. Unlike LASIK, Epi-LASIK combines the surface-based procedures that do not need the flap procedure and benefits of LASIK surgery, to produce less pain and faster recovery. Epi-LASIK is similar to LASIK, because it still comes with a laser to reshape the cornea. Seems to be more effective with people with mild cases of farsightedness, astigmatism or nearsightedness. If a patient suffers from moderate to severe myopia, then LASIK is still the best option. Why Epi-LASIK surgery is better than PRK and LASIK surgery in some cases? Epi-LASIK was due to some complications with PRK and LASIK techniques. • PRK created to remove a high turnover of epithelial cells, and this would cause the patient discomfort. In addition, the procedure causes a clouding of the cornea, halos around lights created. These effects decreased after six months, but still uncomfortable in that period. • LASIK creates a flap that is not really painful. However, it creates other problems caused by the flap problems such as dry eyes and itching. Epi-LASIK then try to avoid the problems associated with both procedures, the advantages of surface-based procedures that did not offer the benefits of LASIK flap and the less pain and faster recovery. In essence, gives the Epi-LASIK, a shorter visual recovery and reduce the risk of complications. Who does benefit from the Epi-LASIK surgery? Studies have shown that people with thin cornea will benefit most from this kind of operation requires more than LASIK corneal tissue to create the flap, and these patients are not enough corneal tissue. Also shown that people in danger, drove out the door to benefit. These people are in danger of being beaten on the face or eyes for any number of reasons, people such as athletes or people in the areas of violence, including military or law enforcement fields. Who Benefits More LASIK surgery instead Epi-LASIK surgery? Patients with moderate to severe myopia tend to benefit more from surgery instead of the Epi-LASIK LASIK. Epi-LASIK suits people who are not such a steep corneas.
