Two ways to see clearly without glasses
LASIK and PRK use the same excimer laser to reshape the cornea. The difference is how the surgeon reaches it, and that changes recovery and who each one suits.
LASIK
Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis
A thin flap is created in the cornea, the laser reshapes the tissue underneath and the flap goes back in place without stitches. It's the most common choice for its fast recovery.
- TimeAbout 20 minutes for both eyes
- RecoveryMost patients return to work the next day
- Best forHealthy corneas of normal thickness
PRK
Photorefractive keratectomy
No flap. The thin surface layer of the cornea is removed, the laser reshapes the cornea and the surface heals back on its own over the following days.
- TimeAbout the same as LASIK
- RecoveryA few days of discomfort, sharper vision over weeks
- Best forThinner corneas and contact sports
LASIK vs PRK: which one is right for you?
Both give comparable long-term results. The right choice depends on your corneas, your lifestyle and how quickly you need to be back to normal.
| Compare | LASIK | PRK |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | LASIK: Laser under a thin corneal flap | PRK: Laser on the surface, no flap |
| First days | LASIK: Mild burning or tearing for a few hours | PRK: Several days of discomfort while the surface heals |
| Back to work | LASIK: Usually the next day | PRK: Usually within a week |
| Clear vision | LASIK: Within a day or two for most patients | PRK: Improves gradually over several weeks |
| Often chosen for | LASIK: Fast recovery with healthy corneas | PRK: Thin corneas, dry eye, contact sports |

Conditions LASIK and PRK can correct
Both procedures treat the three most common refractive errors. Dr. Chebil measures your eyes in detail to confirm your prescription is within the treatment range.
Nearsightedness
MyopiaDistant objects look blurry while close ones stay clear. The most common reason patients choose LASIK.
Farsightedness
HyperopiaClose objects are harder to focus on than distant ones, and the eyes can tire with reading.
Astigmatism
Irregular curvatureAn uneven cornea blurs vision at every distance. It is often corrected together with myopia or hyperopia.
Reading vision
PresbyopiaThe age-related loss of near focus after 40. LASIK does not stop it, and Dr. Chebil explains your options at the consultation.

LASIK procedures in Newport Beach: common questions
Something else on your mind? Send us a text and our team will answer.
Which is better, LASIK or PRK?
Neither is better for everyone. Long-term results are comparable. LASIK recovers faster, while PRK avoids a corneal flap, which can make it the safer choice for thin corneas or contact sports. Dr. Chebil recommends one after measuring your eyes.
Am I a candidate for laser eye surgery?
Most candidates are 18 or older, have had a stable prescription for at least 12 months and have healthy eyes. Corneal thickness and dry eye decide between LASIK and PRK. The free consultation confirms it.
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. Your consultation and eye evaluation with Dr. Chebil are complimentary, with no obligation to book surgery.
How much does LASIK cost in Newport Beach?
It depends on your prescription and the procedure, and it is confirmed at your consultation. The $500 coupon, the phone booking discount and 0% financing from $59/mo all bring it down. More on LASIK cost.
Will I still need reading glasses?
Possibly, later on. LASIK and PRK correct your current prescription, but they don't prevent the age-related loss of near focus that usually starts in your 40s.
Do you see patients from outside Newport Beach?
Yes. Our office at 4740 Von Karman Ave. is close to the 405 and easy to reach from across Orange County, including Irvine, Costa Mesa and Huntington Beach.
