What is LASEK?
LASEK is a type of laser eye surgery used to correct vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Similar to LASIK, LASEK is a gentler procedure on the corneal surface, making it a suitable option for those with thinner corneas or when LASIK is not recommended. It allows for improved vision while maintaining eye health, freeing patients from the need for glasses or contact lenses.
Recommended for:
- Those who want to avoid relying on glasses or contact lenses
- Individuals with thin corneas who are not suitable for LASIK
- Those who want to improve their vision but have not found a suitable method
- People looking to correct nearsightedness or astigmatism
- Those who want to enhance their daily life by improving their vision
Features:
- Surface Treatment of the Cornea: In LASEK, the upper layer of the cornea is gently shaved, and laser treatment is used to correct vision. This method places less stress on the cornea, allowing for quicker recovery.
- Suitable for Thin Corneas: LASEK is more suitable for those with thin corneas and has a wider range of applicability compared to LASIK.
- Minimal Pain: The post-surgery pain is minimal, and aftercare is relatively simple.
- Stable Vision: Although it takes time for vision to stabilize, significant improvement can be expected in the long term.
- Short Procedure Time: The surgery itself is completed quickly, typically in 20 to 30 minutes.
Benefits:
- Improved Vision: The surgery leads to significant vision improvement, freeing you from the need for glasses or contact lenses.
- Enhanced Daily Life: Improved vision makes activities like sports and travel more enjoyable and convenient.
- Peace of Mind: Since the cornea is not heavily shaved, even those with thin corneas can safely undergo the procedure, with less concern compared to LASIK.
Time:
- The surgery typically takes 20 to 30 minutes. It is a very quick procedure that can be completed in a short time.
Area:
- Cornea: During the procedure, the corneal surface is shaved, and vision is corrected using a laser. The cornea heals naturally after the procedure.
Principle:
- The surgery involves making a thin incision in the upper layers of the cornea, followed by laser correction to reshape the cornea. This improves vision, eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses.
Precautions:
- Post-Surgery Dry Eyes: You may experience dryness or discomfort in your eyes after surgery, but this usually improves after a few days.
- Avoid Intense Exercise: Refrain from strenuous exercise for 1-2 weeks after surgery.
- Do Not Rub Your Eyes: Avoid rubbing your eyes post-surgery to prevent infection.
- Wear Sunglasses: It is recommended to wear sunglasses after the procedure to protect your eyes from UV rays.
