LASEK is also called ELSA. It is similar to another surface method - TransPRK. LASEK - A SAFE SURFACE METHOD IN EYE LASERS We remove tissue only from the outer layer of the cornea (the epithelium), similar to the TransPRK Wavefront Optimized surface method . The deeper layer of the cornea (stroma) is preserved with the eye laser method LASEK. The epithelium is loosened with alcohol with LASEK, and your cornea is then reshaped with the laser machine. Eye laser treatment with LASEK is suitable for you with a thinner cornea. You do not run any risk of suffering from complications from a flap or lid, as with LASIK . The actual eye laser treatment with LASEK takes a few seconds to about one minute per eye. The treatment time is individual and depends on how much visual impairment you have. Your medical conditions are assessed by an ophthalmologist after a preliminary examination before an eye laser . Facts about the eye laser method LASEK: Suitable for those who have thin, uneven cornea, and large pupils. Good for you with dry eyes. The optic nerve of the eye plays a role in keeping the eyes moist. The flap made during the eye operation with LASIK can cause dry eyes because your optic nerves can be cut during the eye laser treatment. The LASEK surface method has less presence of dry eyes than LASIK. You have full vision with LASEK approximately 1-3 weeks after your eye laser treatment. Most have optimal vision already in about 1 month. Book Preliminary Examination for Eye Laser - Free Right Now Do you long to see clearly without glasses and lenses?
