Misconceptions about LASIK, Trans PRK and ICL
Clear vision is now more accessible than ever, thanks to advanced treatments like Femtosecond LASIK, TransPRK, and ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens). Each offers unique benefits tailored to different needs. However, myths and misconceptions often cloud the facts. Let’s explore these procedures and uncover the truth behind common myths.
What Is Femtosecond LASIK?
Le LASIK femtoseconde est une procédure laser de haute précision qui crée un flap pour remodeler la cornée. Il corrige des problèmes comme la myopie, l’hypermétropie et l’astigmatisme, avec un temps de récupération rapide.
What Is TransPRK?
TransPRK is a surface-based laser treatment that doesn’t require creating a corneal flap. Instead, the laser gently reshapes the cornea after removing the thin outer layer. It’s ideal for those with thin corneas or active lifestyles.
What Is ICL?
The Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) is a corrective lens inserted into the eye without altering the cornea. It’s a great option for people with higher prescriptions or who aren’t candidates for laser treatments.
Common Myths
Myth 1: LASIK Causes Permanent Dry Eyes
Truth: Temporary dryness is normal during recovery, but most patients experience relief within weeks. Advanced technology used in Femtosecond LASIK minimises this risk, and proper aftercare ensures comfort.
Myth 2: TransPRK Is Painful
Truth: TransPRK is pain-free during the procedure, thanks to numbing drops. While mild discomfort is possible during recovery, medication and eye drops make it manageable.
Myth 3: ICL Is Only for Severe Prescriptions
Truth: ICL is suitable for a range of prescriptions, not just extreme cases. It offers precise vision correction while preserving the cornea's natural structure.
Myth 4: Laser Vision Correction Isn’t Safe
Truth: Procedures like LASIK, TransPRK, and ICL are among the safest elective surgeries when performed by experienced surgeons.
