LASIK is the most common refractive surgical procedure. Dr. Conrad was one of the first surgeons in the Louisville area to perform FDA-approved laser vision correction and has been performing these procedures since 1997.
There are some patients in which Lasik is not the best choice for laser vision correction. For these patients, surface ablation or PRK is better.
PRK was developed prior to LASIK and was the foundation for the LASIK procedure. PRK can allow patients that may not be good candidates for LASIK due to very high glasses prescriptions or a handful of other reasons to still have a highly successful option in laser refractive procedures. Dr. Conrad is happy to discuss your options and help you decide which procedure is right for you.
