Need Lasik or PRK? Are you looking for a surgeon in New York City? If your eyesight is poor consider improving it with Lasik or PRK with Columbia Laser Vision Correction in Manhattan, NYC. The doctors and staff specialize in many types of laser vision correction, including Lasik, PRK, and Lasek.

Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) uses ultraviolet laser light to reshape the clear, front covering ( cornea) of the eye to change the way light is refracted to achieve sharper focus.

LASIK is a procedure used to correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. The procedure involves creating a thin flap on the eye and then folding it over to allow for reshaping the cornea tissue underneath it. The flap is then repositioned and the eye is left to heal. The overall benefit is that patients receive a drastic improvement in their vision and are able to either reduce or eliminate their dependency on glasses and contact lenses permanently.

Photorefractive keratotomy (PRK), which also uses ultraviolet laser light to disrupt tissue in the cornea for removal or reshaping to achieve sharper vision, is an earlier procedure which has been refined into Lasik. With Lasik, eye surgeons take the added step of cutting a thin flap into the cornea, which is lifted before laser energy is applied.
