Epi-LASEK Surgery

"Focus - that's the big thing for me, I am able to focus."

"I had a pretty severe case of astigmatism. And I say to folks, astigmatism is the fine tuning - my fine tuning was slightly off. I could tell how far something was but it wasn't as clear as it needed to be. The Epi-LASEK surgery did away with all of that. I no longer need reading glasses, so in a restaurant where it is dimly lit I can read the menu, which is a big plus. If I'm out golfing or driving at night, I don't have to worry about which contacts I need to wear. With the astigmatism, lights use to bother me at night and that is no longer the case at all for me."

"After my surgery I went home and took a nap. That evening, I could see better than I could see with my contacts. The evening of the surgery I could read the clock across the room, I could see what was on TV and each day my vision got better and better. The surgery was easier than I thought it would be and there was very little pain. Epi-LASEK surgery has just made my quality of life so much better."

Epi-LASEK Surgery

Epi-LASEK is an ideal choice of procedures for anyone with too thin a cornea or who has been diagnosed with very dry eyes, glaucoma, vascular problems or a scotopic (large) pupil. It is also preferred for those who have undergone a previous corneal surgery, including PRK, and for those whose profession or hobby puts them at a high risk for trauma. With less intraoperative and post-operative complications, Epi-LASEK has a higher margin of safety compared to standard LASIK and gives equal results in visual outcome.
