PRK, Implantable Contact Lens (ICL), and More – LASIK Alternatives in Toronto, Ontario
Everyone deserves to enjoy the benefits of clear vision. Currently, advancements in LASIK surgery are yielding some of the most effective techniques available for laser vision correction. However, not everyone is an ideal candidate for LASIK. Fortunately, at Yonge Eglinton Laser Eye + Cosmetic Centre, Dr. David Rootman and his associates provide several alternatives to LASIK surgery. Despite requiring a slightly longer recovery time, vision correction utilizing IEK, DSEK, photo refractive keratectomy (PRK), or the placement of an implantable contact lens (ICL) allows our Toronto, Ontario patients to achieve comparable results to those attained through LASIK surgery.
- Photo Refractive Keratectomy (PRK)
- Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) or Toric IOL Placement
- IEK and DSEK
Photo Refractive Keratectomy (PRK)
Photo refractive keratectomy, or PRK, is a laser procedure similar to LASIK, but it does not involve the cutting of a corneal flap. This procedure is one of the most frequently undergone surgical alternatives to LASIK.
Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) or Toric IOL Placement
The farsightedness or nearsightedness of some patients may be too severe for even LASIK to treat fully. In those cases, implantable contact lens, or ICL, placement may be the best option.
IEK and DSEK
Though conventional corneal transplant surgeries require extensive recovery, we offer the state-of-the-art IEK and DSEK procedures. Both options provide distinct advantages over traditional corneal transplant surgery.

Danny Fernandes gets LASIK at YELC
After I had problems reading the teleprompter at the 2010 Juno awards, I knew I had to do something. YELC changed my life! I can see everything now, from street signs to the smiles on my fans faces and my only regret is that I waited so long to get the corrective surgery. I trusted their staff and doctors completely– they were caring, considerate and took great care of me! Thank you!
