What is SBK LASIK?
SBK LASIK is an advancement of traditional LASIK, commonly referred to as “blade LASIK.” This technique uses a special blade called a Microkeratome to create a thin corneal flap. An Excimer Laser is then used to reshape the cornea according to the refractive error before the corneal flap is repositioned.
SBK LASIK can be used to correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism in people whose refractive error and corneal structure are within suitable ranges. One of its key features is that it uses less corneal tissue than traditional LASIK, while initial visual recovery is relatively quick.
Who is SBK LASIK suitable for?
SBK LASIK may be suitable for people who:
However, even when refractive errors are similar, each person may have different corneal thickness, corneal shape, and overall eye health. An eye examination is therefore required to determine whether SBK is truly suitable for each individual.

Choose the Right Vision Correction Option for You
At Laser Vision, Bangkok Eye Hospital, there are several vision correction options available, including PRK, TransPRK, SBK LASIK, FemtoLASIK, SMILE Pro™2.0, NanoLASIK, and NanoRelex®.
Having multiple techniques does not mean that patients need to choose a method on their own. Instead, it allows the ophthalmologist to consider each person's refractive error, corneal thickness and structure, eye health, age, and lifestyle.
Therefore, if you are interested in SBK LASIK or comparing SBK LASIK prices, the first step is to undergo an eye examination to determine whether blade LASIK is suitable for your eyes.
Frequently Asked Questions About SBK LASIK
Is SBK LASIK blade LASIK?
Yes. SBK LASIK is a technique that uses a Microkeratome blade to create a corneal flap before an Excimer Laser is used to reshape the cornea and correct refractive error. For this reason, it is commonly referred to as blade LASIK.
Who is SBK LASIK suitable for?
It may be suitable for people with myopia or astigmatism whose refractive error is within a suitable range, who have sufficient corneal thickness, do not have severe dry eye, and want to return to using their vision relatively quickly.
How long does recovery from SBK LASIK take?
In general, vision begins to become clearer within approximately 1–2 days. However, recovery time and visual clarity vary from person to person.
Can SBK LASIK cause dry eye?
Dry eye symptoms may occur during the initial period after the procedure. If severe dry eye is already present, an ophthalmologist will need to assess whether this technique is suitable or whether another technique should be considered.
Can someone with a thin cornea undergo SBK LASIK?
This needs to be assessed individually. Although SBK uses less corneal tissue than traditional LASIK, it still involves creating a corneal flap. The cornea therefore needs to have suitable thickness and structure.
How much does SBK LASIK cost?
Currently, SBK LASIK is priced at THB 39,000 (review price THB 37,000) for 2 eyes. Those interested should undergo an eye examination first to determine whether this method is suitable for their refractive error and eye structure.
