NHS guidance groups laser eye surgery into LASIK (with a corneal flap), SMILE (through a small keyhole, no flap) and surface treatments such as PRK and LASEK (no flap; the surface skin grows back). Your surgeon chooses between them based on your prescription, corneal thickness and lifestyle.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is laser eye surgery safer than wearing contact lenses?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Neither is risk-free, so the honest answer is \\\"it depends how you use them\\\". The CDC calls contact lenses safe and effective when worn and cared for properly, but sleeping in them raises infection risk six- to eightfold, and about a third of wearers report doing so. The FDA warns that laser surgery can cause dry eye, glare and halos, and that even well-screened patients can have serious complications. Our contact lenses vs laser comparison weighs both over ten years.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How do I know if I am short-sighted or long-sighted?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"If road signs or the TV look blurred but reading is easy, you are probably short-sighted (myopia).
