This is a pattern of laser vision surgery which can be used to cure hyperopia and astigmatism. It differs from LASIK, LASEK or other laser methods in that the cornea is shrunk other than reshaped.

As you might know that this treatment is not permanent. The eyes do change, particularly when we come to middle age and so farther surgery may be required.

This is a fast method which does not engage any chopping or exclusion of corneal tissue. It is mostly used to treat long-sightedness.

The Risks of LTK

  • Temporary nearsightedness
  • Light sensitivity
  • Risk of evolving astigmatism
  • Regression

What are the advantages of LTK?

These encompass the following:

  • Little risk of infection
  • Very fast procedure
  • Little risk of vision loss
  • Little discomfort or pain

You will find that you are practiced to come back to work, and your usual undertakings the very next day.
