LASIK vs. PHAKIK

Posted By Janice Morey on May 03, 1999 at 17:20:27
I have been told by a local laser vision correction center that I could benefit from either LASIK or PHAKIK (IOL implant) surgery to correct my myopia. It seems both procedures deliver the same results, but PHAKIK is both more expensive and more invasive than the LASIK. I understand that PHAKIK involves a little less recovery time; however, it carries the same risks as cataract surgery. What, if any, are the major advantages of PHAKIK over LASIK, and vice versa? In other words, why would anyone choose PHAKIK, if LASIK is already an established option? Thanks.
