Question:

What is the lasek mean?


Answers:

Laser-Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratectomy (LASEK) are laser eye surgery procedures intended to correct a person's vision and reduce their dependency on glasses or contact lenses. The procedures permanently change the shape of the anterior central cornea using an excimer laser to ablate (burn off) a small amount of tissue from the corneal stroma at the front of the eye, just under the corneal epithelium.
In LASEK the corneal epithelium is preserved with a chemical solution, peeled off, and replaced after the laser ablation is complete.
