The cornea, or transparent front section of your eye, can be reshaped surgically to improve your eye’s ability to focus. The most popular types of refractive surgery include LASIK, in which the doctor creates a flap in the cornea’s outer layer to gain access to the tissue beneath and uses a laser to reshape the cornea, PRK, in which the laser ablation is carried out without creating a flap, and ICL, which involves implanting a lens inside your eye.
