There are many kinds of eye surgery and the two most common are laser eye surgery procedures called LASIK and PRK. Other eye surgeries also include laser thermal keratoplasty, laser thermal keratoplasty, or intrastromal corneal ring segments, and other lens related surgery.

Laser Thermal Keratoplasty

Laser Thermal Keratoplasty involves the use of a holmium laser to reshape the cornea to correct hyperopia or farsightedness by heating the cornea so they constrict.

Intrastromal Corneal Ring Segments

Intrastromal Corneal Ring Segments are small corneal ring devices that are use surgically inserted into the eyes to correct low degrees of myopia or nearsightedness.
