What is LASEK?

What is LASEKLASEK - 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.

Lasek procedure is most convenient for:

  • low and medium myopias
  • low and medium hypermetropias
  • low and medium degree of astigmatism
  • for people who are not appropriate for LASIK because of the combination of a thin cornea and a broad pupil
