WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LASIK AND PRK In both the techniques the laser used is same and corneal reshaping is also the same but the difference lies in the FIRST step. In  LASIK  in the first step a flap is made either using a microkeratome or a laser , the thickness of the flap varies between 90 to 130 microns and after the procedure is over this flap is repositioned back.

Some of these differences are: Procedural difference:  Both ReLEx SMILE and Lasik consists of two steps. However, there are certain basic procedural differences. The degree of incision in Lasik is 270 degrees, while in ReLEx SMILE, it is 90 degrees. Lasik comprises creating and lifting the flap on the upper surface of the cornea and reshaping the tissues of the lower layer. The surgeons create a flap because it is highly uncomfortable for the patient if the surgery is done on the first layer due to its high sensitivity. The surgeon reshapes the cornea with the help of an excimer laser. Unlike a flap formation in  Lasik surgery , the  ReLEx SMILE  comprises the creation of an intrastromal lenticule.
