LASEK Laser Eye Surgery

What is LASEK laser eye surgery and how is it performed?

LASEK laser eye surgery ” Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis ” is what the term means. LASEK eye surgery , first creates a flap by separating the epithelial layer on the surface of the cornea without completely disrupting its integrity. The cornea is then reshaped using an excimer laser to correct the refractive error.

LASEK eye surgery is a method between ,  LASIK and PRK or No-Touch . Moderate pain, stinging and watering may occur during the first two days. A soft contact lens is placed for protection after surgery. This lens can be removed after 4 to 5 days, depending on corneal healing.

With this method, vision may become clearer within one week. Vision becomes much clearer after the second or third month. Patients continue their daily activities during this period.

In particular, LASEK laser eye surgery is a long-established surgical technique. Medically, it is an alternative for patients for whom LASIK is unsuitable.

Laser eye surgery using an excimer laser

is performed to treat patients with suitable eye structures who have refractive errors and keratoconus problems. These treatments are commonly known as laser vision correction . These visual problems can make patients’ daily lives difficult and significantly reduce their quality of life. They also make contact lenses or glasses necessary to improve quality of life, reducing comfort in everyday life. These requirements create unwanted situations that inconvenience many people in their daily activities.
