- Difference from PRK
- PRK, which is used for touch-up after LASIK, irradiates the laser directly onto the cornea without removing the corneal epithelium after laser irradiation.
LASEK(lasek)And
Similar to LASIK, an excimer laser is used to reshape the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.Instead of creating a flap like LASIK, the corneal epithelium is peeled off in a sheet and the cornea underneath is irradiated directly with laser light.The peeled corneal epithelium is then replaced.
