Summary: What is the difference between LASEK and LASIK?
When many people see the word Lasek, they simply assume that someone meant Lasik, but spelled incorrectly. However, the two are actually very different. Lasek is much more similar to PRK, but yet it has some similarities with Lasik well. It is important for anyone considering Lasik or Lasek is to decide which procedure is best for him or her. A qualified doctor can help the person to do this because there are subtleties that must be addressed. Since the eyes are so delicate and so important, using the right treatment for the correction about them can be very important to ensure that the patient has the best possible result.
What Lasek?
Lasek, much like PRK, is designed as something of an alternative to Lasik. It does not microkeratome technology, and it creates virtually no corneal flap thick as Lasik done. The flap it creates is much thinner, and it is different from Lasik. It is more of an ablation procedure, such as PRK. Unlike PRK, however, there is a much lower risk of corneal haze, and it is much less painful as well. Sometimes, however, because there is still a very thin corneal flap is created, the flap is completely cut off or damaged during the Lasek procedure, transforming it into a PRK procedure. Patients are told when they go in Lasek it will be attempted, but is not guaranteed. Unfortunately, there can be complications. However, for most people Lasek is very safe and there are no serious problems.
What is Lasik?
Lasik Lasek is similar to, but offers less pain, fewer complications and a time to heal faster. It also allows a faster change in vision, providing a vision of 20/20 or close almost immediately. Vision can change and improve somewhat over time, but overall, it will stabilize in a few days and then remain stable - it is believed throughout the patient's life. The main problem with LASIK is the flap. Given that a flap is cut in the cornea, the cornea must be thick enough to bear it. In addition, there is a risk of damaging the corneal flap and / or have not met the eyes properly, which could not observed with Lasek. Despite the potential problems with LASIK, however, most eye doctors recommend to their patients, and they think it's a very good and very safe procedure, provided that the patient is a good candidate for it.
Which one should be chosen?
Whether to choose or Lasek Lasik is something that the patient should decide with their doctor. Taking all criteria, including Lasik surgery cost into account, a person who wants to have vision correction can make an informed choice.
