LASIK Laser Eye Surgery Blog at Eye Surgery USATuesday, May 20, 2008Who Can Have Epi-LASIK?Epi-LASIK is not for everyone, but many surgeons consider it a better option for some patients who will probably not do so well with LASIK. These include people who have thin corneas, with not enough tissue for a good LASIK flap. For those with professions or hobbies that have an increased chance of being hit in the eye may find Epi-LASIK safer than LASIK because there's no risk of the flap being dislodged.

Thursday, April 24, 2008The Epi-LASIK ProcedureThe Epi-LASIK procedure begins by cutting the cornea's outer layer, the epithelium, using a plastic blade, called an epithelial separator, to separate the sheet from the eye. After the epithelial flap is created, it is then lifted and gently folded out of the way. An excimer laser is then used to carefully reshape the cornea. Finally, the epithelial flap is placed back on the eye and a special contact lens is placed over the eye to keep the flap in place while it re-epithelializes. Surgeons use a high-Dk contact lens to protect the surface of the eye and allow the epithelial cells to grow back properly. Labels: Epi-LASIK
