LASEK (Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis)

If you are investigating the possibility of refractive surgery for yourself, one of the most important things you should do is undergo a very careful and comprehensive eye exam with the doctor you are considering for your procedure.

What is LASEK?

LASEK is a hybrid of FDA approved PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) and LASIK (Laser Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis). In this procedure, the surface of the cornea is peeled back, the laser is applied, and the surface layer is then replaced into position.
