LASEK stands for ‘Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis’. With this technique the superficial layer of epithelial cells is loosened up from the cornea under the shape of a very thin small flap that is rolled up. After laser treatment it is put back on its spot.

This method offers the advantage that the wound is covered up after the intervention with an ultra thin epithelial flap. This results in a quicker healing and less possibility of haze forming .
