1. Laser Eye Surgery
The most common type of laser eye surgery is also called Lasik eye surgery.Lasik surgery carefully removes the corneal tissue with a laser and this gentle laser then reshapes the cornea itself.

2. IntraLense
This type of eye surgery is also very similar to LASIK, except that the surgeon uses an extra laser instead of a blade to create the flap in the outer layers.

3. Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK)
Photorefractive Keratotomy (or PRK) is just like LASIK, but is slightly safer.A laser is used to remove tissue from the outer layer of the cornea and correct vision.

4. Non-laser Eye Surgery
These surgical procedures involve improving vision by cutting into the surface of the eye, reshaping the cornea or using low heat radio waves.

5. Implantable Contact Lenses
The lens is placed behind the iris, in front of the natural lens of the eye. Unlike normal contact lenses, you can't feel them and they don't need maintenance.
