Lasik and Lasek Eye Surgery in Iran
Lasik and Lasek Eye Surgery in Iran

LASIK, or Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis, is a refractive surgery technique designed to improve the eye’s refractive state and reduce the reliance on glasses or contact lenses. It achieves this by reshaping the cornea, enabling light to focus properly on the retina. This procedure is commonly used to address myopia, hypermetropia, and astigmatism.

During LASIK surgery, the surgeon creates a corneal flap using specialized instruments. The cornea is then ablated for approximately thirty seconds, following which the flap is repositioned. Advanced techniques and the use of lasers in LASIK surgery allow the procedure to be completed within fifteen minutes per eye, eliminating the need for stitches.

Lasik and Lasek Eye Surgery in Iran

LASEK, which stands for Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis, is an advanced vision correction surgery that brings together the benefits of LASIK and PRK procedures. It is designed to address refractive errors such as astigmatism, nearsightedness, and farsightedness. LASEK has gained popularity due to its advantages over other techniques:

  1. Minimal corneal tissue disruption: LASEK involves a more superficial removal of corneal tissue, which helps maintain the overall strength and stability of the cornea. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with thin corneas or those involved in contact sports.
  2. Reduced risk of dry eye syndrome: As LASEK does not involve the creation of a corneal flap, it lowers the risk of postoperative dry eye syndrome, a common complication associated with LASIK surgery.
  3. Quick recovery time: Patients undergoing LASEK typically experience a rapid healing process, allowing them to resume their daily activities within a shorter timeframe compared to PRK.

In LASEK surgery, the surgeon carefully loosens and lifts the corneal epithelium (the outermost layer of the cornea) as a sheet. Then, an excimer laser is used to reshape the cornea and correct the refractive error. Finally, the epithelial sheet is repositioned onto the cornea, acting as a natural bandage to aid in the healing process.
