Choosing a LASIK Surgeon is an important factor.
Have you been told you're not a candidate for LASIK eye surgery? If so, Epi-LASIK may be a terrific alternative.
Like LASIK, Epi-LASIK uses an excimer laser to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. However, unlike traditional LASIK, Epi-LASIK does not require the physician to create a corneal flap… and this can be very beneficial to patients who have thin corneas or other conditions that prevent them from being treated with conventional LASIK.
Epi-LASIK patients typically see their vision continue to improve over a period of months. And while Epi-LASIK's recovery time is longer than traditional LASIK, the treatment may reduce the risk of flap complications because it does not penetrate the cornea.
Get the details on the Epi-LASIK procedure, as well as risks and benefits and other information right here on our Epi-LASIK patient education page.
And to find out if this is an ideal procedure for you, you can contact an Epi-LASIK physician in your area through DocShop.
