There are five main types of laser refractive surgery used to correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism:
1. LASIK
* The most common procedure.
* A corneal flap is created, and the laser reshapes the underlying cornea.
* Fast recovery and minimal discomfort.
2. Femto LASIK
* An advanced form of LASIK.
* The flap is created with a femtosecond laser instead of a blade.
* More precise and widely used today.
3. PRK
* The corneal surface epithelium is removed, and the laser reshapes the cornea.
* Suitable for patients with thin corneas or those involved in contact sports.
* Recovery is slower than LASIK.
4. LASEK
* Similar to PRK, but the epithelium is preserved and repositioned after laser treatment.
* Less commonly performed today.
5. SMILE
* A minimally invasive procedure using a femtosecond laser.
* No large corneal flap is created.
* Often associated with less dry eye and good corneal biomechanical stability.

It can be inconvenient to handle contact lenses or wear glasses on a daily basis. LASIK eye surgery, on the other hand, eliminates the need for eyewear, increasing the enjoyment of sports and outdoor activities.
