The most common methods are <a href=\"https:\/\/eyelaser.at\/augenlasern-wien\/\">laser eye surgery<\/a>. We also distinguish between three large groups:  <\/p>\n<h4>Surface treatments<\/h4>\n<p>One group is <a href=\"https:\/\/eyelaser.at\/lasek-prk-trans-prk-augenlasern\/\">LASEK-PRK<\/a>. This is a so-called surface treatment, where the laser is applied directly to the corneal surface. <\/p>\n<h4>Treatments with incision<\/h4>\n<p>Then we also differentiate between treatments with an incision, where we first make a small incision in the cornea, a small lenticule is opened up, the visual defect is corrected directly in the cornea and finally it is folded back. This is known as LASIK or <a href=\"https:\/\/eyelaser.at\/femto-lasik-augenlasern\/\">Femto-LASIK<\/a>. Femto-LASIK is a further development of mechanical LASIK.  <\/p>\n<h4>Treatment without flap<\/h4>\n<p>The third group is <a href=\"https:\/\/eyelaser.at\/smartsight-augenlaser\/\">ReLEx-Smile<\/a>. This is a new method. It has been on the market since around 2011 and involves using a femtosecond laser to cut a lenticule out of the cornea without creating a flap.   <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What types of vision correction are there?
