Why would someone have PRK or LASEK when quicker and more comfortable results can be achieved with LASIK?
Patients with thinner corneas and those in occupations in which they have a higher chance of sustaining eye trauma are usually better candidates for a surface laser procedure like PRK or LASEK rather than LASIK. For example, when Dr. Mandel consults with patients about laser eye surgery at his New York offices, also serving New Jersey, he often recommends surface laser procedures for those in the armed services and law enforcement, as well as those engaged in contact sports like kick boxing.
