LASEK (Laser epithelial keratomileusis)
Eye Treatments
If you’ve missed having freely views of everything around us, LASEK (Laser epithelial keratomileusis) may be the best solution.
During this procedure, the epithelium is separated and lifted using a special solution, acting as a corneal flap. Damage to the nerve endings of the epithelial layer is not excluded, which can lead to pain in the postoperative period.
During the recovery period (4-5 days after the intervention), the patient wears a special protective contact lens. Advantages of the method: at present, vision correction by this method is carried out only for medical reasons.
With the help of LASEK, patients who have contraindications for correction by the LASIK method – too small thickness of the cornea or certain features of the shape of this natural lens of the optical system of the eye, get the opportunity to gain good vision.
