LASEK
A LASEK procedure uses alcohol, instead of epikeratome, to create a flap of the epithelium.
Even if you are not suited for the use of epikeratome, for example because you have scars in your eyes or have small eyes, a LASEK operation could be done.
It is appropriate for those whose cornea is too thin to have LASIK operation, or those who are active in sports.
