Welcome to the Laser Eye Surgery Center!

The idea of using excimer lasers (similar to those used in the industry) in eye surgery was born in the 1980-s. (The word is that the Gerber Company used these lasers to make holes in the rubber part of feeding-bottles.)

Since then, the extremely precise methods of laser eye surgery have been developed. We will now discuss two methods, called the PRK and the LASIK. Both are completely different from the method developed by Fjodorov - which was mockingly called "Russian roulette", because the shape of the cornea changed in an unpredictable way due to unvisible scar development.


Some differences between the two methods: PRK treatments were not effective enough above -8,0 dioptres and in cases when haze developed. With LASIK, even -15,0 dioptres can be successfully treated. The recovery period is quite short and causes little inconveniences rather than pain. Patients must be aware that the flap will not recover completely, it will be held in position by the epithelium of the cornea. Compared to PRK surgery, eyes treated by LASIK will have a weaker cornea, because the repositioned flap will not provide the same biomechanical firmness. The cornea may lose 30% of its original thickness, but usually this does not cause further problems. PRK eye surgery can be performed on both eyes in a single procedure. LASIK can also be done this way, but some surgeons advise two separate interventions, one for each eye. The second operation follows the first one in about 2-3 weeks.
