This is the most common type of myopia surgery, involving the creation of a corneal flap followed by laser reshaping of the underlying corneal surface. If a hypertension patient's cardiovascular condition is stable, this surgery is usually feasible.
PRK is an earlier laser correction surgery that reshapes the cornea directly on the surface without creating a corneal flap. This surgery may be suitable for patients with thinner corneas or other eye issues.
LASEK is similar to PRK but involves the use of an alcohol solution to soften the corneal epithelium before lifting it. This method is suitable for patients with thinner corneas or those engaged in high-risk activities.
This is a newer technique that involves creating a small incision to remove corneal tissue, followed by laser correction. This surgery is less invasive, has a quicker recovery time, and may be suitable for hypertension patients.
