LASEK

LASEK is one of the newer techniques developed to take full advantage of our new laser capabilities. The epithelial layer (surface) of the cornea is meticulously separated from the underlying stroma before laser application. This surface layer is then slipped back over the treated zone. LASEK is therefore similar to the LASIK procedure, but with the advantages of a thinner or no flap.
