LASEK

LASEK is a technique where an epithelial flap is performed with a diluted alcoholic solution prior to the use of the Excimer Laser.

Lasek technique is similar to PRK :

• The use of a contact lens is necessary after surgery to obtain the adhesion of the epithelium flap.
• It also has the disadvantage of postoperative pain.
• Visual recovery needs one to two weeks.

Excimer Laser is used in different techniques:

• PRK
• TRANS PRK
• Lasek
• Lasik surgery.
• Femtolasik
• Aberrometry and wave front customized visual correction
• ULTRA-THIN LASIK and Sub-bowman Keratomileusis (SBKM)
