LASIK
A laser reshapes the cornea to correct myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism, reducing or removing the need for glasses.

A femtosecond laser creates a thin lens-shaped piece of tissue inside the cornea which is removed through a small incision, correcting myopia without a flap.
ICL (Implantable Contact Lens)
A thin lens is implanted inside the eye in front of the natural lens to correct high spectacle powers, especially where laser surgery isn't suitable.
