Techniques such as PRK, LASEK, iLASIK, or SMILE are used to correct vision impairments through laser.

To be eligible for laser eye surgery, one must be over 18 years of age. This is because there is a possibility that optical prescriptions may change until this age. It is also necessary for the corneal tissue to be sufficiently thick for treatment. This is essential because a thin layer of the cornea is cut and lifted like a flap, with laser applied to the surface revealed. Therefore, having adequate corneal thickness is important.

Myopes up to 10 degrees, astigmatics up to 6 degrees, and hyperopics up to 6 degrees can be treated with laser eye surgery. A preliminary examination will reveal if you are suitable for this treatment.
