At Renew Skin Clinic in Seoul, Korea, LASEK (Laser-Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratectomy) surgery offers an advanced laser vision correction option for patients seeking to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses. Ideal for individuals with thin corneas, dry eyes, or those not suitable for LASIK, LASEK provides precise, safe, and effective correction of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
👁️ What is LASEK Eye Surgery?
LASEK combines the benefits of PRK and LASIK by gently loosening and preserving the corneal epithelium (the thin outer layer) with an alcohol solution before reshaping the underlying corneal tissue with an excimer laser. The epithelial layer is then repositioned to promote faster healing and reduce discomfort compared to traditional surface laser surgeries.
