University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics offers a variety of refractive surgery options

PRK: Photo-refractive keratectomy

Surgeons correct your vision by reshaping the corneal tissue beneath the surface of the cornea.

LASIK: Laser in-situ keratomileusis

LASIK corrects your vision by reshaping the corneal tissue beneath the surface of the cornea.

Custom Ablation

Custom ablation, or custom lasik, provides a new addition to refractive surgery. Custom ablation is an automatic way to create a unique laser treatment for each patient.

LASEK: Laser Subepithelial Keratomileusus

LASEK combines certain elements of PRK and LASIK.

INTACS: Corneal Ring Segments

INTACS, also known as Corneal Ring Segments, are placed in the periphery of the cornea, flattening the center.

IntraLase

IntraLase replaces the hand-held microkeratome blade with a silent, computer-guided laser; with the precision of the laser, you can now have greater assurance of a safer procedure and an excellent result.
