Laser Thermal Keratoplasty (LTK)

Laser Thermal Keratoplasty (LTK) is a specialized eye procedure used to correct vision problems, primarily for people with farsightedness. It involves using a focused laser to apply controlled heat to the cornea—the clear front part of the eye. This heat reshapes the cornea, improving the eye's ability to focus. LTK is typically performed as an outpatient procedure and can enhance vision without needing glasses or contact lenses. While LTK is not as common as other refractive surgeries, it offers an option for certain patients looking to reduce dependence on corrective eyewear.
