For all three types of ametropia (nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism), the PRK/LASEK method is generally suitable for laser vision correction. The following requirements for the treatment of ametropia with the LASEK/PRK method must be met:
- wearers of glasses or contact lenses.
- at least 18 years old.
- visual acuity stable for one year.
- LASIK treatment is out of the question.
- Sufficient corneal thickness.
- not pregnant.
- no eye diseases.
