Main Information

<p>LASEK eye surgery is better suited to patients with very thin or steep corneas, as thin flaps make it difficult for the surgeon to create a suitable flap for a <a href="https://www.consultingroom.com/treatments/lasik-laser-assisted-in-situ-keratomileusis" target="_blank">LASIK</a> surgical procedure. During <a href="https://www.consultingroom.com/treatments/lasik-laser-assisted-in-situ-keratomileusis" target="_blank">LASIK</a> surgery, trauma to the eye is more severe than with LASEK surgery (due to the flap creation with <a href="https://www.consultingroom.com/treatments/lasik-laser-assisted-in-situ-keratomileusis" target="_blank">LASIK</a>) and so LASEK surgery might also be better suited to patients who engage in leisure or sports activities where their eyes are at a greater risk of being injured. </p><div></div><p>Because LASEK eye surgery does not create a deep flap, the corneal nerves that are responsible for the tear reflex are not affected, meaning that the surgery is also more suitable for people with dry-eye syndrome.</p><div></div><p>LASEK eye surgery will only be suitable for people who are over 18, who have had stable vision and an optical prescription for at least two years. </p><div></div><p>People with mild myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism might not be suitable candidates. </p><div></div><p>Those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, diabetic or arthritic may also not be suitable for surgery as well as those with occular diseases such as glaucoma or those with a history of experiencing side-effects from steroids.</p><div></div><p>Adults who are in general good health and with realistic expectations of the outcome of the procedure are ideal candidates.</p>
