Told You Can't Get LASIK? You Still Have Options for Glasses-Free Vision

Being disqualified for standard LASIK doesn't mean you're stuck with glasses forever. Modern ophthalmology offers several excellent alternatives that can still give you freedom from corrective lenses.

PRK / Advanced Surface Ablation

If your cornea is too thin for LASIK, PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is often an excellent alternative. It uses the same excimer laser but without creating a flap.

  • No flap creation — ideal for thin corneas
  • Same excimer laser and similar long-term outcomes as LASIK
  • Slightly longer recovery (3-5 days for clear vision)
  • Preferred for patients in contact sports or military

ICL — Implantable Collamer Lens

For very high prescriptions (-6 to -20 diopters) or very thin corneas, an ICL is implanted inside the eye, in front of the natural lens. It's like a permanent, invisible contact lens.

  • Corrects extreme myopia up to -20.00 diopters
  • Reversible — the lens can be removed if needed
  • Excellent visual quality with UV protection built-in
  • No corneal tissue removal — preserves corneal integrity

RLE — Refractive Lens Exchange

For patients over 40 with presbyopia or high hyperopia, RLE replaces the eye's natural lens with a premium multifocal intraocular lens. It eliminates both the refractive error and the need for reading glasses, and prevents future cataracts.

  • Corrects distance and near vision simultaneously
  • Prevents future cataracts entirely
  • Best for patients 45+ with presbyopia
  • Premium lens options for full visual freedom
