LASEK
Surface laser correction for thin corneas and active lifestyles
What is LASEK?
SURFACE (SMARTsurf = TRANS PRK = LASEK, or NO CUT) is the treatment method recommended if you have severe astigmatism and thin corneas, and cannot undergo a SMILE PRO or FEMTO LASIK procedure as a result. After this surgery, 3 days are necessary for healing time and visual acuity usually stabilises within a few months. This method guarantees the same effect — your perfect vision.
Why choose LASEK?
No corneal flap
Surface procedure without cutting a corneal flap — a safe option for thin corneas.
For active lifestyles
Ideal for sports and contact activities — no risk of flap displacement.
Precise results
Excimer laser accuracy corrects myopia and astigmatism with predictable outcomes.
Retreatment guarantee
Retreatment is included if a correction adjustment is ever needed.
How does LASEK work?
How is LASEK performed?
A safe, precise surface procedure completed in minutes — no cuts, no needles.
Anesthetic drops
Anesthetic drops are applied to the eye. No injections or needles are used.
Epithelium preparation
The thin outer layer of the cornea is gently loosened and moved aside to expose the treatment area.
Laser correction
The excimer laser reshapes the cornea in seconds to correct myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.
Protective lens
A soft protective contact lens is placed to support natural healing.
Healing and recovery
Vision improves within the first days and continues to sharpen over the following weeks.
