4 Most popular type of Lasik surgery Singapore

There are three most popular types of LASIK Eye Surgery are currently offered by Lasik clinics in Singapore. However, treatments are catered to the specific individual and their needs, as each person may require different treatments.

1. Femtosecond Intra LASIK

IntraLASIK is a variation of LASIK using the IntraLase® FS femtosecond laser instead of a microkeratome blade to cut the corneal flap. The obvious advantages of a flap created with IntraLase over a microkeratome are that there is little to no possibility of corneal abrasion, thin flap, thick flap, partial flap, incorrect diameter, or buttonhole flap.

2. Custom Wavefront-guided Femtosecond Intra LASIK

Custom Lasik surgery, also known as wavefront Lasik or wavefront-guided Lasik. The primary difference between Conventional Lasik and wavefront custom Lasik is the mapping system that guides the laser. This type of Lasik is a combination of Wavefront-Guided Lasik and Intralase Lasik and thus combining the advantages of both surgical procedures.

Among the 3 Most popular types of Lasik surgery, bladeless Waveform-Guided Lasik is the most expensive.

3. Wavefront-optimized (Bladeless) LASIK Eye Surgery

Wavefront-optimized Lasik is a standard Lasik procedure performed using Wavelight's Allegretto Wave Eye-Q laser, which is four times faster than conventional excimer lasers. Wavefront-optimized Lasik has been found to reduce the complications such as glare, halos, and other night vision problems which can happen with conventional Lasik treatments.

4. Epi-LASIK Eye Surgery

Epi-Lasik, also known as Epi-K or Advanced Surface Treatment. Epi-LASIK surgery is not suitable for everyone although it may be considered a better option should you not be suitable for LASIK surgery. It is ideal for patients whose corneas may be too thin to safely perform LASIK on.

Epi-Lasik is similar to Lasek, the epithelium is cut with a cylinder-shaped blade called a trephine and is briefly covered with an alcohol solution to loosen it from the underlying corneal tissue. During the Epi-Lasik procedure, a blunt microkeratome smoothly removes without cutting the surface layer, or epithelium, from the cornea.
