Epi-LASEK Surgery

"Epi-LASEK surgery was the most liberating
experience of my life!"
"Being in the pizza business, Epi-LASEK surgery really helped improve my life. I no longer have to wear contacts, which was a big problem for me. You just can't wear contacts comfortably when you work near ovens that are 550 degrees. They fall out, they tend to almost just melt in your eyes. And, the dust from the flour was a constant pain. Now I can see clearly to make beautiful pizzas!
"The Epi-LASEK surgery was the quickest and most painless experience of my life. I never thought it could be that quick and easy. It was as easy as putting a few drops in my eyes and then the Surgery Team got to work. The Laser was only on my eyes for a few seconds and it seemed I was out the door 10 minutes later. There's a week to 10 days after the surgery where they really want you to rest your eyes and relax, which of course is plus."
Epi-LASEK Surgery
Epi-LASEK is one of the newest laser vision procedures on the market today. With its combination of high safety measures and sophisticated procedure, it is quickly becoming the laser treatment of choice.
Instead of creating an incisional flap in the cornea, the Epi-LASEK procedure involves a gentle loosening of the most superficial layer of the cornea. This tissue is slid off to the side while the excimer laser is used to modify the shape of the cornea. Once completed, the tissue is slid back into place and a contact lens is placed on the surface of the cornea to both protect the eye and provide patient comfort for the first 5 days following the procedure.
