Compare procedures

Use the table below to quickly compare your options for laser‑based and lens‑based vision correction, including typical age ranges to help guide your decision.

Laser eye surgery

Procedure	Conditions treated	Key benefits	Age
Wavefront-Optimized LASIK	Myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism	Suitable for most patients Improved day and night vision Less tissue removal Reduced glare and halos	18-55
Contoura LASIK	Myopia and astigmatism (including irregular astigmatism)	Personalized topography-guided treatment Enhanced precision May reduce night-vision effects Potential for sharper vision quality	18-55
All-Laser LASIK	Myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism	Blade-free femtosecond flap Suitable for some thinner corneas / higher prescriptions Increased comfort and safety	18-55
Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK)	Myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism especially when LASIK is not suitable	Often recommended for thin corneas No corneal flap created Stable, long-term vision correction	18-55

Lens surgery

Procedure	Conditions treated	Key benefits	Age
Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)	High myopia or hyperopia, presbyopia, not eligible for laser correction	Eliminates reading glasses use Prevents future cataracts Sharp, stable results	50+
Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL)	Moderate to high myopia and sometimes hyperopia or astigmatism, thin cornea or laser contraindication	For high prescriptions Cornea left untouched Reversible Excellent night vision Alternative to LASIK	18-55
Cataract surgery	Cataracts - cloudy natural lens with simultaneous vision correction	Removes cloudy lens Restores clear vision Safe, proven, fast recovery	60+
