A Look Into LASEK

In recent years, millions of patients and surgeons have chosen Laser in situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) over Photorefractive Keratotomy (PRK) because of the quick recovery time, less pain and a decreased risk of haze in the cornea. LASIK is able to deliver these results because the laser reshapes the cornea under a protective flap. However, not all patients are candidates for LASIK. Some patients have corneas that are too thin for their required prescriptions or pupil sizes. These patients would normally require PRK. Dr. Lin has pioneered a technique called, MICRO-LASIK, in which a significantly thinner flap is created, and enables most of these patients to safely achieve natural vision. For patients that have extreme refractive errors, very thin, or abnormally shaped corneas Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis (LASEK) may be the only option. Dr. Lin is one of the first surgeons in the Los Angeles area to offer LASEK. >>>
