Procedure Overview
LASEK (Laser-Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratectomy) is an alternative to LASIK, ideal for patients with thin corneas. Instead of creating a thick flap, the surgeon loosens and folds back the outer layer of the cornea (epithelium) to reshape the tissue underneath with a laser.
Key Aspects & Outcomes:
- Ideal for patients with thin or steep corneas.
- No risk of flap-related complications.
- Excellent long-term results equivalent to LASIK.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get professional medical answers to common patient concerns regarding LASEK Laser Eye Surgery.
LASIK cuts a flap in the cornea, whereas LASEK only loosens and slides back the thin outer skin (epithelium). This preserves more corneal thickness, making LASEK the safer choice for patients with thin corneas.
LASEK has a slower healing process than LASIK. You will feel a gritty, burning sensation or watery eyes for 3 to 4 days while the outer skin cells regenerate. We place a protective bandage contact lens to ease this discomfort.
Vision will be functional but slightly hazy for the first 4-5 days. Your vision will steadily improve over 2-3 weeks, reaching its full clarity and stability around 1-3 months post-op.
No. Modern excimer lasers use advanced tracking systems that instantly shut off if your eye moves. There is zero risk of blindness, and serious complications are extremely rare.
You can return to phone or computer screens in 3-4 days (using lubricating drops). You must avoid swimming pools, hot tubs, and getting tap water in your eyes for 3 weeks to prevent infection.
