What is the difference between RK and laser vision correction?
RK was an early surgical procedure where the cornea was “cut” to change the angle of light rays to properly focus on the retina. Radial incisions were made on the cornea with a diamond blade scalpel. With the laser, the cornea is reshaped by a cool, invisible beam of light. The laser is computer-controlled and is programmed specifically for your individual prescription! It automatically corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.
