LASEK - laser eye surgery

The recovery of vision after LASEK - laser eye surgery usually takes several days. The patient can see a few minutes after the procedure but the vision is blurred. To achieve good vision, the recovery of the outer epithelial layer is needed. Epithelium reattaches and regenerates in the period of three to four days. The smooth and gleamed surface of the eye then enables clear vision after four days.

The LASEK (laser eye surgery)  procedure is performed as an ambulatory surgery. The patient lies on the comfortable table. The surface of his eye is completely numbed by the anaesthetic drops. The eye and its surroundings are covered by a sterile surgical dressing. A small lid speculum is fitted on the eyelids to prevent the eye from blinking during the procedure.

LASEK - laser eye surgery - is a laser procedure used to correct short sightedness, long sightedness and astigmatism. It is relatively a new method that combines benefits of LASIK method and PRK method. The biggest advantage of this procedure is its non-invasive character without any incision made in the corneal tissue and its simple technique. It is an ideal procedure for people who have a cornea that is too thin or too flat.
