Short Sightedness (Myopia)

This causes distant objects to be blurry while close objects appear normal. Other symptoms of Myopia may include headaches and eye strain. Severe cases of Myopia can increase the risk of cataracts, glaucoma and retinal detachment. Estimated to affect 1.5 billion people worldwide (22% of the population), Myopia is the most common eye problem.

Laser Assisted Epithelial Keratomileusis

The main alternative to LASIK, the LASEK procedure involves preserving the extremely thin epithelial layer by lifting it from the eye’s surface before laser energy is applied for reshaping. After the LASEK procedure, the epithelium is replaced on the eye’s surface. This is known as ‘surface’ laser, and is safer if your corneas are too thin or too steep for LASIK, or when it may be difficult to create a LASIK flap. The success rates for LASEK are very similar to those for the LASIK procedure.
